Group, walk and talk. I have had a hard week and again it looks like I won't lose weight, but I am hoping that I will break even.
It has been hard trying to make sure that someone else is eating and worrying about their eating as well as my own. I am not good at feeding people since I don't cook. And even if I did, I am not sure I would be cooking the right things for an eleven year old.
But I have eaten out more then I have in the last year, and each time I go out it is a little harder. The first time I was super careful followed all the rules, but now I look and read and hopefully make the correct decision, but I am not as careful as I used to be. When I taste the food, if it taste too rich I stop eating it, but if taste okay I may finish it. Point in fact I got a beef salad, and the first bite was like heaven, so I started to worry that it was too caloric so I ate about a fourth of it and waited for TH to tell me to have another bite, but I didn't and he didn't (probably because I ordered something and the little one didn't.) But not finishing it was really hard - and I knew if I had finished it I would have kept eating - ice cream cookies cake- so I had to stop you see.
I had to stop to prove I could. So even if I have gained weight this week, I have not lost the battle because I was able to stop eating something I really liked. I am still in control.

Yes the devil spawn didn't order anything, but TH/TSH had also looked at the menu & was appalled at the calorie listing since his attempts at weight control were going down the drain too.
ReplyDeleteI do get T3's point - the 350 calorie cookbook has some great stuff & it's not that hard to make (even T3 could do it if she wanted to spend the time laying out the ingrediens).
It's been hard trying to exercise, entertain an 11 year old & feed an 11 year old - we've got some R&R in the near future and then T3 will be embarking on a journey with the "can we share that pea" inspirational/much beloved sister/sister-in-law
