I've been OP since early April, and I've lost 42.4 lbs (yay me). In the last few months, I've pretty much leveled out to where I'm consistently losing 1 lb a week. Though, this week I lost 5 lbs and I'm not sure why. Thursday, day before weigh in, I went to Outback and had a salad with vinegar and oil dressing, baked potato with no butter and no sour cream, and a 12 oz outback special. So, while I didn't kill myself with food that's a MUCH larger than usual meal for me. So, when I weighed myself Friday I was amazed, and more than a bit concerned. So I mentioned to my wife that I'm going to check my weight over the weekend, mostly to see if there was any 'bounce back' that could surprise me in a week. Then Saturday night my wife wants me to go eat BBQ with her family, while I love her family I wasn't in the mood to burn through my flexpoint so early in the week. Of course, that got us into a huge arguement where she said I was acting like a 'woman' and that I was obsessing about my weight. She's right, I am obsessing, my weight range is 155, I started at 243 and I'm down to 201. I'm so close to breaking 200 I can 'taste' it. I love my wife, but I think I have to love myself more. If she can't understand my motivation than she can go screw. Would she rather have you healthy or dead? I know things are not that extreme for you, but do ask her! And then try to relax. You can do this BBQ thing. A smaller portion of meat and healthy choices of salads shouldn't mess you up. You NEVER have to pig out if you don't want to. And if the in-laws remark on your reduced appetite, explain! It's not the food, which is fab, it's that you are trying to keep within the bounds of sensible eating and not gorge! And while you will lose more slowly, you can do WW 5 days a week if you like. -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Then Saturday night my wife wants me to go eat BBQ with her family, while I
love her family I wasn't in the mood to burn through my flexpoint so early in the week. Of course, that got us into a huge arguement where she said I was acting like a 'woman' and that I was obsessing about my weight. She's right, I am obsessing, my weight range is 155, I started at 243 and I'm down to 201. I'm so close to breaking 200 I can 'taste' it. It sounds like the arguement was probably more about the family visit than about your diet. I bet that usually she is supportive. It's possible that she is now much happier with your shape and doesn't know why you want to carry on. So far as barbeques go, you can do some great low fat/calorie stuff, but maybe not the usual sausages, bread and sauce stuff. Get a couple of mackerel or trout, etc gutted and cleaned etc. Wrap them in foil with a very little butter and some herbs. Leave it on the barbeque till it's done You can also do something similar with veg. Carrots/brocolli/cauli/swede cut into small pieces, and partly microwaved. Put it all into a foil package and leave on the side to reheat and finish off. Eat it with a baked potato, and you'll do fine. If you want to be a bit more traditional get some lean steak and grill that. Stay away from the sauces, and coleslaw Ray -- rmnsuk overall - 273/203/182 swwc - 205/203/192 |
