OT - mom's stressed out
Doesn't appear to look like that clothing cushion is going to stick around this week. Lots of salty foods, as well as female stuff going on. I'll have to see where I'm at in a few weeks. But up isn't necessarily bad ... from where I was at last week. Except that I finally convinced myself to lose a teeny bit more. Maybe I'll put that thought on hold until after the holidays. Or maybe I should hold onto that thought to get me through the holidays. G At the meeting the other day, she already mentioned Halloween. And said they just keep coming till the New Year. So if not a clothing cushion, then maybe a holiday one. I do not want to gain back since it is also Winter. Same here, definitely do not want to gain it back. I also do want to relax a bit through the holidays. I never thought about halloween, my kids are past that age. Maybe we should write a letter to miss meringue and ask them to package their cookies into individual bags - then could give those out as treats to the kiddies. At least the leftovers would be *safe*. grin I relaxed last year after suffering through Thanksgiving. I ate but not like I would have in a former life and watched it carefully on the other days and meals around the bigger parties. Ya know what's funny? I don't remember suffering at all through the holidays last year. I kind of just took them in stride. I kept track of my points, am sure I was over the top yet not as bad as I would have been had I not counted at all. And like you, probably compensated for the indiscretions the rest of the week. I hope to be able to attack things the same this year. Only time will tell. But know what? If I cave, I *think* I know how to deal with it now. g That is a great idea - since most parents no longer allow kids UNPACKAGED items. They are for the most part fat free and more healthy than some snacks. I had thought about packing them into little baggies myself, but for the same reason you stated ... I won't. I remember my kids bringing home treats like that, and they usually just went into the trash - unless they could tell me exactly who they got them from. It's such a shame that a few rotten individuals can make things so difficult. Joyce WW starting weight: 228.8 - 2/5/02 current weight: 133.3 Lifetime: 4/4/03 |

OT - mom's stressed out
Thanks Kristin. Both of us are doing much better now, and we do know how
incredibly fortunate he was that he wasn't injured. Joyce On Sun, 21 Sep 2003 10:55:06 -0500, "Kristin" wrote: Sorry this is late, Joyce... but thank the Lord your son wasn't injured physically. I really hope by now he (and mom) are doing better! Take care! -- ~Kristin O~ 272/238.4/172 Here's our FAQ: http://www.didian.com/asdww/ and welcome notice: http://www.geocities.com/welcomenotice/index.html "Joyce" wrote in message .. . Does pacing earn any activity points? I didn't make it to the treadmill today, been too stressed out, worried, agitated, emotionally drained ... you name it. My son called this morning, was in an accident while traveling back to college (he is physically fine). He was going through an intersection, lady made a left turn right in front of him. He veered out of the way to avoid broadsiding her, hit the stop light on the opposite corner (he was heading north, hit the stoplight heading east) but missed the rest of the oncoming traffic ... she took off. Just ducky, eh? Messed up his car pretty good from what I was told ... cars can be fixed, important thing is he is ok. I wish I could thank the good samaritan that stopped to check on his welfare and stayed with him until the police arrived. It was a wonderful thing for a stranger to do, for an out of state young college student. I wish I could hug my baby. Joyce still pacing |

After that, I just was careful but not fanatic about intake. And that worked. A bit too much but not a lot too much. Maybe it was a bit easier for me since I started ww AFTER the holidays the previous year. Starting in february gave me lots of time to make new habits before the holiday season approached. I also had lost a pretty good amount of weight, so had that extra incentive working for me. I'll have to keep that weight incentive in mind this year, and hope it's enough to keep me focused.
