I have lots of reasons behind my decision to have a RNY. Diabetes, PCOS, arthritis, high blood pressure, etc. As of this morning, I have one more. My son called this morning and from the sound of his voice I could tell that he had something to tell his father and I that he was dreading. It turns out that he and his long time live in girlfriend are expecting! We obviously wish that they were married before having a baby (which we are still urging them to do) but I think we shocked both of them by, in their words, not reaching through the phone and killing both of them! So now I have one more VERY important reason to take back my health! I'm going to be a GRANDMOTHER!!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!! We need every incentive under the earth to stay disciplined and focused.

I'm really still just processing the news! My son kept asking me when my last weigh-in is and I couldn't figure out why. This was why. He knows that I'm stressed about it and didn't want to add to the stress! Now I'm thinking about a grand-baby instead of obsessing about that last weigh-in!
