Good afternoon World Fitters! Yesterday was the 11th year anniversary of Terry Schiavo death. You know her as the face of end of life care. On march 18, 2005 Terry’s feeding tube was removed. On march 31, 2005 she took her last breath and became weight less. “I kept my promise”  was what her husband said to her. On the last day of march it’s clear a lot of promises were broken. He lied she died! Lets revisit unfulfilled promises. This is Terry Schiavo story.

Theresa Marie Schindler was the name of an angel who was born on December 3, 1963. Today she would’ve been 52 years old. A life cut short indeed.  Terry Schiavo early life was marked by weight gaining issues. For instance by the time she was a teenager she weighed 200 pounds. Her parents wanted to raise her in a safe and loving home in a suburb of Philadelphia.  So when Terry mentioned to her parents about her desire to be at a more “normal weight” they took her to a doctor for help.

It turned out the doctor helped a lot because by the time Terry was in college she had lost 65 pounds. While she was in Bucks County Community College she met and fall in love with Michael Schiavo on 1982. The couple tied the knot on November 10, 1984.

Aahhhh nothing makes the world more beautiful then love. You know the feeling of endless days and nights that seem to go on infinitely. Aahhhhh that unmistakable feeling of love. Terry definitely loved Michael. From the moment she said I do she was his.

However there was a problem. Terry Schiavo was having problems with her weight again. She didn’t want to put back on the weight. So she self medicated herself by going on her own special diet. Terry’s special diet consisted of her drinking liquids such as Ice tea through out the day.

It’s this drinking of excessive liquid that led her to the events of that early Sunday morning. “In the early morning of February 25, 1990, Terry Schiavo collapsed in a hallway of her St. Petersburg, Florida, apartment.” It really is sad to hear that terry was starving herself. She no longer wanted to be the fat girl. Too bad it caused her her life.

World Fitters learn from Terry Schiavo mistakes.  “Love your body now.” Embrace your imperfections I know I do. Additionally I wanted to know what you thought of the right to die. Do you agree with her husbands and think Terry was already dead? Or do you have hope she would regain consciousness? Me myself I’m not against the fact that they kill Terry Schiavo. I’m just concern of the way they kill her. She starve to death. In my eyes they finished what she started. I’m curious to know what you think?

I’m thinking about you World Fitters! Love your friend Francesca. Bye! Bye!
