I am DONE with being sick because of my weight!

In fact I want to live life to the fullest and be the "cool" grandma. It really hit me when my 4 year old grand daughter asked me "grandma, why are you fat?" It motivated me enough to start to eat better and live better. Without our health we have nothing!
