This is a pretty depressing thing to think about. I've never been extremely emotionally attached to my mom, not sure why, I think her and I weren't born with much maternal instincts unless it's towards cats.
Anyway, both of my parents are overweight, my dad saw the light when I was in high school and was able to lose quite a lot of weight through Atkins and low carb diet. He's tried to get my mom to come onto the wagon, and I don't remember any time where she did. She was always larger from what I remember, but lately she's struggling to even fit a 3x. There's McDicks wrappers in her car a lot, always an excuse to get Culver's for dinner and makes my dad make her mashed potatoes or pasta for a side at dinner.
I've known a while that my weight loss journey is to stay away from my parents health issues, my dad's carpal tunnel, breathing issues, high blood pressure. But my mom, high blood pressure and whatever you could call what happened this weekend.
I'm getting married in a few weeks and my mom's outfit she ordered online didn't fit, so we had a shopping trip to the next biggest town from ours to the Dress Barn. We ran a few errands in between, and each time we get in and out of her Acadia it takes a while, and the takes longer and longer for her leg to wake up and stop hitting (each time we were in and out we weren't in the car for more than 5 minutes). She limped the whole time and was never comfortable, she says the doctor says her feet are flat, which they weren't a while ago.
I just can't see myself getting that far gone, I never want to be in that situation.
So I'm now at 170, feeling good, got a while to go but I have so many more health habits than my mom and than I had before. I'll make it.
