HHH week3 Laura (LJ)

4 sessions at Curves last week. This is really addictive.

We were away this weekend visting my mom. She brought up her normal
statement of "you are not losing fast enough". I kept my cool this time and
said I was fine with it. Maybe she'll accept that answer for a while. I
won't be seeing her again until Thanksgiving week. Our turn to do elder-care
again.

Haven't looked at the scale yet. Hopefully, the damage from this weekend was
not too bad. We ate out both Saturday and Sunday night plus fast food for
lunch and dinner today. I am hoping that I made good choices--mostly chicken
and fish, minimal desserts and bread. If I counted everything correctly I
did not use any flex points until today. Will be eating home for the rest of
the week plus I will try and up my water consumption to flush out some of
the salt consumed this week.

Have a good week everyone. Got to go unpack and get caught up on my mail and
newsgroups.

Good luck with your Mom Laura. I'm sure that once you're at goal she will
be very happy for you. I find that people who don't have experience with
weight loss and a healthy diet, think that the quick "starve yourself diets"
are the best kind, but little do they know.....

But at least it's good addiction to have :-) Good luck with your next
weigh-in. It sounds like you'll fine.

"It is not the mountain we conquer, it is ourselves"
Sir Edmund Hilary

I'm not sure about my mom. She has struggled with her weight all her life or
so she claims. As a result she is obsessed with other people's weight. That
is the first thing that she comments on people. When I was first married I
weighed 135lb. At 5'3" that is well within WW guidelines. But in her mind I
was severely overweight and kept telling me so. I seriously doubt that I
will ever make her happy with my weight. I have learned this summer to just
blow her off because it is painfully obvious that she'll never be happy no
matter what I weigh.

My husband and I repeatedly explained to her this summer that WW recommends
1-2 pounds a week as being healthy. I don't think she cares whether or not
it is healthy, she justs wants the weigth off of me as fast as possible. But
as I said above, she'll never be happy with what I weigh.

I weighed myself this morning before going to Curves. I was down .5 lbs so
no real damage was done this weekend. But I have been stuck at this weight
for 3 weeks now. I'm dehydrated and consipated. Something is definitly
messing up my system.

Filter her comments out and forget them, since you know she has hangups
on this.

Best of luck with the continued healthy weight loss.

Drinking more water will help both those problems. As will the
exercise. Just stick with it - things will shift eventually!

Hi, Laura, Nice work with the exercise. You have a good attitude about your
mom. Some people don't understand about weight loss and keeping it off. At
least you can get pass that and focus on the program.

Hi, Laura, I tried the tablespoon of lemon in hot water and it helped me. I
think it was Anna who wrote that this was part of WW in England some years
ago.

I'm going to start keeping track on how much water I am actually drinking
these days. It may have dropped since I started back to work after labor
day. I used to drink at least 4 or 5 sports bottles of water per day. Maybe
it has dropped without my realising it. I'm just so tired of feeling bloated
and gassy all the time.
