In "My Soul to Keep, My Weight to Lose," Randall has decided to change her life and take better care of herself, even if this means taking care of...

One of the
quotes about Randall's decision to change her life shows her intent and decision making process.
She had realized after a long time that she was enslaved to her weight and to food, when for so
long she thought that she was defying the worldbeauty standards, customs, everything, by caring
very little for her weight and appearance. Suddenly, however, she realizes that she can't
continue on like that:

About three years ago I decided to
focus on what was in my immediate control. What was it inside me that was making it hard for me
to lose weight?

Randall sits and postulates on her life,
and she acknowledges what her grandfather had told her long ago that the only thing that no one
can take from her is her mind and her soul. To that end, however, that's the one thing that has
the most control over her, and that is what she must overcome if she is to lose the weight and
remove herself from that internal slavery.
