Dear Nutrisystem-
Thank you for opening up a wound. Every time I see this commercial I want to ball my eyes out.
I lost my dad in 2020. He battled with weight for a good chunk of my life, and that weight led to the health issues that ultimately took his life earlier than it needed to be.
It was a constant non, stop battle for us. He knew he needed to make a change but he struggled with it and mom felt helpless. He might lose a couple pounds here and there but put it right back on.
She wanted to partner with him to do it because she wanted him to be around for a long time.
It never happened.
I will always feel some resentment towards his weight issues and I will always be an out loud believer that we need to work on the obesity crisis because I know how him struggling to make a change and then not wanting to make one cost us; both financially and mentally and emotionally.
This commercial, it reminds me of what could of been with my dad. Why the pain will always be there. How his weight was the root of what took so much from me.
Don't get me wrong. I will always love my dad but I always resented the weight he put on and the up and down struggle and lack of motivation.
