“Grandma, will you dance with me?”
That one innocent question broke my heart.
Bella was spinning in her princess dress, full of joy…
and I was stuck on the couch, forcing a smile through the pain.
My knees ached. My back hurt.
But the worst part? I was exhausted all the time.
I couldn’t keep up anymore.
I used to be active — the first on the dance floor.
But after 50, my energy disappeared and the weight kept creeping up.
No diet. No detox. Nothing worked.
Then I tried on my favorite summer dress —
the one from Bella’s first birthday.
It wouldn’t fit.
That night, I cried.
Not because of my weight…
but because I didn’t feel like me anymore.
That was my breaking point. Not because of vanity.
But because I didn’t feel like me anymore.
I needed a change — not just for my body, but for my confidence, my energy, and my future.
