Holiday War against over eating / healing / heartache and moving on

I guess as i approach the holiday's this year, they have a distinct tinge of blue to them. I am missing my grandfather who made christmas come alive, and he passed away over 10 years ago. This year it's going to be doubly hard, without Grandpa and without Rosie, my best friend who passed in July.


She made christmas live again, and taught me what it is to have the spirit of Christmas, and to give from ones heart, how great or how little, it does not matter.


She gave me great gifts, or no gifts, the best gift she gave me, and I cherish to this day and will never forget is her gift of unconditional love, support, and friendship.


SHe taught me what courage is, how not to quit, how not to be afraid of myself, and gave me everything I needed to be the strong, and supportive I have become. She gave me strength when i had none, and courage. In her memory I will lose this weight, to better myself, to encourage others, to continue to be successful in everything I do.


I know it takes the power of many to help me through this difficult time. I thank each person who has ever said no to me, been negative to me, to every person who has been kind, i say thank you for your wonderful kindness, encouragement and the empowerment.


to those people I've never met, you too will have some type of impact, each person I meet leaves a mark, be it good / or bad, I learn from the experience, and I grow and change.


Since joining weight watchers, I've learned a lot about myself, and i'm learning slowly how to accept my imperfections, that I am not alone, and It's ok to take care of me. 


Have a wonderful safe and happy Thanksgiving.
