Let's Go Red Team! Let's Go! Let's win this Spring Melt Off 2013

Hi! I am a 67 year old grandmother who lives for her family. I lost my husband on November 15, 2010. He had a massive heart attack while driving to the grocery to pick up a gallon of milk. I am trying to adapt to life without him. However I was not left alone. I am blessed with our three daughters, one adopted son, two son-in-laws, and five grandchildren. All my life I have been way over weight and have decided that enough is enough. I am going to lose this weight for once and for all. ...
Hi! I am a 67 year old grandmother who lives for her family. I lost my husband on November 15, 2010. He had a massive heart attack while driving to the grocery to pick up a gallon of milk. I am trying to adapt to life without him. However I was not left alone. I am blessed with our three daughters, one adopted son, two son-in-laws, and five grandchildren. All my life I have been way over weight and have decided that enough is enough. I am going to lose this weight for once and for all. While I realize that there are no guarantees in life, losing weight will make whatever time I have more enjoyable and with less pain. Besides my family, I love to read, to research genology, all kinds of crafts including scrapbooking, cardmaking, sewing and doing whatever I can to make other's lives a little easier..

My best present was making it home- snow and all!
Getting older means sometimes these are just...days....
but coming home to such wonderful wishes made it so much more special.
Thank you so much!

Thank you so very much for reading and commenting on my blog, Loving Yourself: My Body Pledge of Allegiance, and for signing on by leaving a comment, and taking the pledge to be your own champion!

I feel more strongly than ever that this is indeed the first hurdle we must conquer. Because of all the positive feedback I have received during this series from those who have been reading and following, I am going to continue with helping not only myself, but those who have committed via this pledge made to themselves to do that with more blogs on this topic. I am confident that we can move forward from here. This was the first step off the starting line. Let's move forward together! I do hope you will stop by to read and to follow the Loving Yourself bogs as the series continues.

Many fellow Spark Friends have already committed to and taken the Body Pledge of Allegiance, and more are joining each day. These small actions can make a big difference. It is about coming together and offering our strength to one another. Together we are uniting our conviction, and echoing the voices of ourselves, and for women and girls everywhere to love ourselves as we are, no matter where we are. It is the energy of the this conviction and the movement that will propel us all forward into becoming who we wish to truly be, and ultimately, to achieving all that we are striving to achieve, not only here, but in our lives.

I don't mind if you print it and share it - that's why it's there - to share, in the hope that others will find it helpful to them. I am thankful that so many are spreading the word on Spark People to their Spark friends. It is my version of many I saw on the internet, so please don't give me credit. I hope that you, and anyone else you choose to share it with will feel free to adapt it, just as I did, as you need to for your own personal growth.

Let's “Spark a mini revolution of loving ourselves”! Together we can do it!
