I got my mom interested in SP and I am so glad. I know she has been struggling for a long time with her weight. For me, it had never been an issue. I always thought my mom was beautiful and strong. She held herself well and proud and never looked unhealthy or overweight to me. However, as she got older (not that old yet) I worried that she was not so motivated to ever lose the extra weight. I recently found out she had high cholesterol, which was a huge eye opener for me. I had been dropping a million hints about "this new webpage called SparkPeople that was free and awesome...". At first she expressed minimal interest in it, but the other day I actually gave her a "tour" of it. Finally, tonight she messaged me and told me to add her as a friend. I am so glad. Not only do I have all of these other poeple here on SP to give/receive support, but now I have my own mom. I really, more than anything, want to see her change for the better and get healthy. I want her self esteem to go up and I want her to be proud, happy, and HEALTHY! I want her around for a long long long time!
