Moley30 has hit 3 stone off!!!
Friday, October 27th, 2006 Eeeeek! Weigh-in tonight. Have I made 3 stone mark?
We stayed at my parents last weekend and it went well. I totally take my hat off to parents or couples where a)food is in the house and b) food needs to be prepared for others to eat. My mum’s house has so much food she wouldn’t need to worry for months if she was snowed in or if there was a
food shortage.
We looked after my niece and nephew for the weekend which was interesting as they didn’t seem to scoff like they tend to when my parents are there. It seems its a routine that they have got used to but only associate it with my parents, not necessarily their house where all the food is there to have.
My niece is 10 and she chose to watch a programme about obese children and how they were given a fitness regime and diet to improve their health. It led to my niece starting a deep conversation about weight and exercise. I was desperate to make it clear to her that she is an adorable child who is popular and she isn’t fat. She had mentioned being fat a few times over the weekend. I realise that her worst person for reminding her of being ‘fat and ugly’ is her 13yr old brother. Typical nasty brother! He is joking but I can see it is going in deeper. Made me realise that my brother who is 5 yrs older NEVER commented on my size even tho we argued lots. My niece is aware of the need to exercise and she said her friend had encouraged her to join a dance club which she really enjoys. She told me about her cousin (my brother is with their auntie if that makes sense) so she is in weekly contact with her. The cousin is a socially challenged child who demands lots of attention. It appears the cousin has made comments which have gone deep too. I can see my niece heading in the same direction as me and we discussed how to deal with said cousin. It was quite a discussion as my nephew even went on about the cousin and her personality traits.
My niece and I are together again this weekend. She is very aware of what she eats and even told me that she only eats badly at my mums. For some reason my mum feels she should nurture the children with what she thinks they will like e.g. choc, crisps, cakes.
How do I deal with that? Finding the diet difficult in the evenings now as hubby and I both consider what meat we could potentially eat and still stay in ketosis. I think its that point in a diet where I usually begin to find ways round cheating which then spiral.

…… stop it, back to the question in hand!!) but everything went wrong at work and I didn’t get home until 1am. I searched every where for a take away open that would still deliver but had no luck. I ended up cooking a manky old frozen chicken and mushroom pie that I managed to burn and had to throw half of it away. At the time I was really upset but looking back I am glad as this meant that the first few days were much easier. I didn’t get the serious withdrawals.
. I really enjoyed myself and didn’t have the raging hangover the next morning.
and most of all fitting into smaller sized clothes.
My friends all let me smell thier food…. its ridiculouse really, but I am so happy with how fast the weight is coming off on SS that I can put up with looking silly for another month yet! November 23 I will be having a nice thanksgiving meal and then start AAM. I really can’t wait! I am a tad nervy that I will stuff my gob, but am planning on cooking one day and freezing individual meals so I have what I need ready to go and can’t add a scoop of this extra or some of that extra.
