Years ago I had lost 70 pounds on my own and went to visit my Grandmother. She had severe dementia and could not remember who anyone was. I sat by her bedside and said "Grandma I am Cindi, do you remember me?" She sat right up and said "But you're not fat!".

My Grandma was about six feet tall and never was overweight, she watched her weight so carefully. Unfortunately, she had a life long habit of watching everyone else's weight and commenting on it. That is the only negative thing I can say about her. She was a wonderful loving woman. Looking back - they knew something back then because she would always say "put those potatoes and the bread back!".
