RafL week 2 THTP week 5 for Brenda
Due to a few bad food choices (pizza being one) and TOM I weighed in up 2
lbs. Yuck!!! I haven't been journalling or drinking water faithfully either, today I'm getting back into it. Weight: 178 Exercise: 2 times I was thinking the other day about an aquaintance that works next door at the Government Agent's office. She joined WW about a year ago and has lost about 80 lbs and looks great. I realized that I could be in the same position she is right now if I'd just stayed OP. I would have probably made my goal weight by the end of last summer and would have been practicing maintenance now instead of still having weight to lose. I want to be at goal by the beginning of this summer! I want to look fantastic in a bathing suit this year, instead of FAT. I'm going to have to put my foot down and ask my grandma not to bring us any food. She feels sorry for me working so much and her way of helping (other than babysitting a few hours in the day) is to cook us dinner. Well, dinners are usually very points unfriendly. Last night she made cabbage roll casserole (cabbage, hamburger, tomatoes all layered). It was very good, but loaded with hamburger and lots of calories/fat I'm sure. One of her favorites to make us is carrots and turnip (steamed), so I'll have to ask her just to stick to the veggies and I'll deal with the rest! She's a real sweetie and I'm very lucky to have an almost 84 year old grandmother with all her marbles and healthy too I might add. I don't know if I'll be able to answer all the posts I'd like to as there are almost 600 to read, so I'll congratulate all the *losers* and wish everyone good luck this week. Have a good one people! -- Brenda 209/178/150 RafL goal 165 |

You know you can do it and you will do it and your ring will need to
be shrunk again!! I do know about getting food from others - while it is nice, it can be a killer. For me it just threw off my own meal planning and, yes, I was not sure what was in it, even if potentially friendly. Controlling the environment is one key to eating right and controlling the points. Good luck this week. On Mon, 12 Jan 2004 06:02:07 -0800, "Brenda Hammond" wrote: Due to a few bad food choices (pizza being one) and TOM I weighed in up 2 lbs. Yuck!!!

"Fred" wrote in message news You know you can do it and you will do it and your ring will need to be shrunk again!! I sure hope so, I'd love to see that size 6 again, but due to my past working conditions (cold and lots of hard work with my hands), I have acquired arthritis in some of my finger joints. My ring finger is one of those with arthritis. I might see a size 6 1/2 if I'm lucky. I do know about getting food from others - while it is nice, it can be a killer. For me it just threw off my own meal planning and, yes, I was not sure what was in it, even if potentially friendly. Controlling the environment is one key to eating right and controlling the points. I've often eaten a little of what she's given us, especially if she stays for dinner, which she occasionally does, but then if DH doesn't it the leftovers in a few days I throw them out. I just don't tell her that I did. She's one of those oldtimers who just can't stand to waste anything! Good luck this week. Thanks Fred.

"Brenda Hammond" skrev i en meddelelse ... Dear Brenda, Maybe this was a lightbulb moment for you. An inspiration for you to stick with it. One thing is to successfully lose over a period, but the one thing that really makes the difference from all the other diets we have been on in the past is persistance and consistency - sticking to it every day. And if you do that you WILL lose weight like your aquaintance. You have made a promise to yourself, you have seen your goal and mapped out the road to get there, the only thing is to walk the path. Summer will come whether you have lost the weight or not, så wouldn't it be great to meet it the way you want to meet it? In a great hot bathing suit!!) I won't be wishing you good luck, because it has nothing to do with luck) It has to do with the inner strength we all have inside of us, the will to do what it takes) |

Hang in there Brenda. Life has its ups and downs and so does our weight. Get
back OP and stick to your guns. Educate your grandma on what types of meals she CAN cook for you. No sense in telling her that she can't cook for you just make sure she knows what is good and what is bad. I'm sure if you explain the program that she'll support you in your effort. She could roast a chicken, make a stew or a roast for the family and still be point friendly. Maybe you can challenge her into making some of her favorite meals point friendly for you . Ask her to use lean meat and low fat cheese for example. Her casserole last night might not have been too unpoint friendly depending on the ingrediants. "Brenda Hammond" wrote in message ...

Looking at your acquaintance and thinking about what might've been may
be just the key to turn on your motivation again. But once the motivation's reignited, remember: no guilt and move on. You can do this, Brenda. When I think about what you've been through in recent months, I'm convinced you have what it takes to meet your goals. Dig deep, girl. It's in there.

I think it's there too PR. I just have to be in the right frame of mind.
Hopefully I'm there now. "Prairie Roots" wrote in message ... Looking at your acquaintance and thinking about what might've been may be just the key to turn on your motivation again.

could you take the food, feed DH and child and freeze rest for them on
another night and make your own, I was just thinking if my grandmother did this, she is 85 she wouldn't understand if I ask her not to, you know food = love and all that, Lee Brenda Hammond wrote in message ...
