This thread is for anyone that has been away from healthy eating, had a gain and is recommitting. We accept all forms of healthy eating here, whatever that means to you. We touch base daily for accountability and to encourage one another. This is a judgment free zone.
We all struggle to get the weight off and keep it off. Sometimes this is a challenge, but we never give up and that is the key. Regardless of our situation or where we are in reaching our goal, we count on talking to each other every day and are blessed to have one another as friends.
Our motto is persistence, not perfection.

Good morning all,
Well, it's still barely morning here anyway. I guess for most of you it's Eastern time and technically afternoon. Anyway I hope Wednesday is treating you kindly.
Dinner last night with Mark's parents was about what I expected. His dad kind of being a passive aggressive ass towards my food choices and my way or eating. For the 10 millionth time he shoves a mini pan of corn bread in my face and under the guise of being polite says, "Can you have this?" And for the 10 millionth time I respond with "I CAN have anything I want, but I CHOOSE not eat things that don't further my journey toward good health. You know I'm not going to eat that, please stop doing this every time. It's a community pan in the center of the table. If I want some, I will take some." He infuriates me with that B.S. He's just a ass about anybody who does anything different than he does. He acted the same way when I did WW. "Are you allowed to eat this?" as he waves carrot cake under my knows. I did enjoy visiting with MIL though.
Jana posted this update about 2 hours ago:
Hospice nurse just left this morning. Based on mom's oxygen and heart rate- we probably have 24 to 48 hours.
I need to talk to daddy so please give me some time before anyone tries to call him.
Wishing there was something I could do for her, but I know that really there is not much that any of us can do other than lend support and love.

Recent update from Jana:
Things are still the same here. Mom is resting peacefully. She hasn't woken up since 3:30 this morning.
Waiting is so hard.
We are all a little restless.

Good afternoon, all. Lora, does Mark say anything to his DF when he behaves like that? So incredibly annoying and not likely to change. Glad you enjoyed your MIL at least. People's food choices are becoming as difficult to talk about as politics these days... And for people like me who change food plans with every passing breeze, it's kind of open season on my choices, complete with eye rolls and attempts at being considerate which are just a cover for being challenging and a little hostile. Sort of like what you ran into but just a little less in my face. I feel like saying, what difference does it make to you? You don't have to eat the way I do! OK, off my soap box.
So sorry for what Jana is going through, and having to manage her DF on top of this has just got to be immensely difficult. Sounds like her family is being super supportive, from what you sent us earlier, so I'm glad for that.
I've been at home today. It's a fast day but I haven't fasted, did watch some services on TV but mostly read, poked around on FB, and now am going to cook. I did get to my trainer this morning and picked up a couple of things at the supermarket. Back to work tomorrow but then I'm off again on Friday and it's a long weekend because of Columbus Day. I also am taking Tuesday off so I have nothing to complain about right now. Am going to visit my DF in Collegeville, PA again this weekend and am looking forward to it but not the 3 hour drive each way. Oh well.
Susie, enjoy your alone time at home.
Have a good evening, all.

Ok...finally home... I ended up going shopping for birthday favors for DGS's kindergarten class. Boy, it is hard....no food is allowed and even a pencil can be sketchy (will they bite the eraser off and choke on it?  - it is getting crazy - but that is one of the things the teacher said was OK, so I picked up some individually wrapped or boxed things (like 4 piece boxes of chalk).I was just trying to help DS and DDIL, so I didn't get home til about 15 minutes before DH. Lora - I am sorry that you have to explain to DFIL over and over and over. Is it even worth it? Maybe you should just say, Thank you, but I don't care for any ((you axx - no not really)) Andi - it sounds like you have a nice weekend in store (except for the drive...ugh). I didn't get to the gym this morning so plan to get there tomorrow morning. Jana has really been through it lately. I am glad she got her parents moved here - at least she does not have to drive from state to state again like she did with DS. I know we are all so worried about her....thanks for keeping us up-to-date Lora. DH got home and went right to bed...he had aqua therapy today and was doing squats in the water on steps and almost couldn't get up - he was really afraid there for a few minutes. He works so hard and makes very little progress, just has more pain. However, I will be thankful that he can still go to his training sessions ...and even by himself if need be. Praying for everyone tonight. |
