Shonette,

Like you, my family has been overweight much of my life. My mom died at the age of 39, not from obesity, as she lost her weight years before dying, however, she died from a brain aneuryism. My mom's mother, was extremely obese, and as a child, I can remember my mom making fun of her and not allowing her in our home because she was afraid she was a bad influence on us as kids. Sadly, my grandma died of obesity related causes. Like you, I know that being overweight does not have to be apart of my family now either.

There is certainly hope, and I know that you will be a success at whatever you set out to accomplish.

Good luck to you and your weight loss goals!

Tina
