Have you ever heard a story or saw what someone else was going through and thought OMG I hope that never happens to me. I think the sitter gave me new motivation yesterday by doing just that. But SHHH I swore I wouldn't tell anyone! I suck at keeping secrets. lol There is another mother who uses the same daycare as me who is a little bigger. She's not massive. If anything I think she's a little above my highest weight. Apparently someone walked up to her at work yesterday and said an anonymous donor wanted to sign her up for weight watchers. Could you imagine? I think I would die right there on the spot. Or the person offering weight watchers would die... someone would die. She handled it better than me and said she could afford it if she wanted but it just never worked for her. I feel for her. I know it upset her but she handled it well. I can only imagine what she must be feeling today.
The pep talk I had with myself lasted until about 7pm. I was doing so good until then! I got home, hubby was all excited because the planting is done, his helper was sticking around to milk cows, I could relax a lil, I ran a milk test so I got to dink around in the house for a half hour before going to the barn. Life was good. Then the guys wanted to order pizza. Seriously? They're killing me. So today is a new day. Back on track. Self? Stop sucking. No more excuses. Eat right, exercise, and just stop it. *smacks head* If I don't behave someone at work may offer weight watcher services to me next.

The person offering the weight watchers probably thought they were just being nice, but that is very offensive. Maybe if it was a friend and she had been saying how much she wanted to join and couldn't afford it, then you offer to pay for it. Some people just have no clue. You'll do better today. Hopefully, no pizza today.

OMG, how could someone, unless like Mars said it was a friend or someone she had told she wanted to join, make such an offer. It really isn't any of their business!!! I've decided if I eat something that is bad, like pizza, I just have to make it fit in my calories. That way nothing is really off limits. I find if I say I can't have something I want it more.

I'd be insulted and shocked!

No pizza! There was one slice left and the family should have that polished off before I get home. I just need to plan what's for dinner that's full of things I can eat and stop relying on the leftovers and fast food. Maybe I should learn to cook so everyone isn't so fast to pull out the takeout menu.

DFW, it might be worth it to use a service that preps your meals for the week for you, all you have to do is thaw them. You are TOO BUSY to do all the cooking and cleanup after it, as well as all the rest of the stuff you do. RE: your coworker. That was just uncalled for, really. If it were a close friend, yes, but just a coworker, no, that was inappropriate. Skirch I do the same-no bad foods, just make sure it fits in the daily calories.

Ugh I would have been very insulted! Who says that to someone?! Maybe you can try to find time once a week for meal planning and grocery shopping. I have lots of stuff that takes just a few ingredients and 20 minutes of cooking (easy stuff!). You can squeeze that in somewhere if you are prepared?!

I'm not a fan of violence, but that comment would have earned my fist to the offending face as an instant knee-jerk reaction. It would have been out of my control and I'd have pleaded instanity before a judge. No one has the right to tell me how I should, or shouldn't look and that's basically what that fool did to that poor woman. I hope she doesn't take it to heart and is plotting an evil passive agressive revenge... Sigh, I used to think I was nice, but I'm learning I'm going to be that old bat that tells everyone to get off my lawn. No wonder why I'm thinking seriously of moving to someplace remote in Alaska! Anyways, DFW I think you're doing a lot better than you give yourself credit for. Falling off the wagon aside, you haven't given up and you keep fighting. Hang in there, just keep up the self pep talks, you'll make it.

Ugh! Unless you've been here, you've no idea. I'm sure the person who offered WW to her meant well. Or, putting the best spin on it, maybe that person had lost weight on WW herself and just wanted to share her success? Don't worry about pizza one night. It's the long haul that counts! Hugs.

Possibly the person who offered it may already be going and might enjoy the company of having a friend come along. Really depends on the circumstances. Back when I was at my VERY, VERY heaviest my sister sat in my living room and with tears in her eyes told me she hated to see what I was doing to myself. We cried and I told her I felt okay but hated the way I looked. This was almost 10 years ago. what a changed person I am now! Sometimes people mean well, they just don't always come off that way.

Hmm.. yea, it's not easy being tactful when it comes to something like that. As for pizza... I know the crust can be the BEST part... buuuuut, if you want to have your cake and eat it too, you could make your own with some high fiber flat bread! mmmmm... I know what I'm having tomorrow!! >=D!!

RE: WW - very offensive, if it was a friend who offered should have done it in person.
RE: Pizza, nothing wrong every now and again. try vegetarian and just have 1 slice. In Aus they offered low-carb wholemeal crust, so if I get Cass one I get that. Once we were at my parents and Dad wanted some, he wasn't impressed about the crust but he still had some. I also will use wholemeal wraps and make pizza on them.
RE: cooking for family. Ok I don't know how many in your family or their ages. However, one of my biggest bug bears is women who do paid employment, run around after the family cleaning (etc) and then do the cooking first. Get the family cooking, even if you have the ingredients ready for the them. Also remember that by getting kids cooking it helps them learn skills that these days a lot of kids/people use. Yes, I might come across mean but that's me. (I wrote a poem for school when I was 16 called 'The House Slave'. One line went along the lines of 'if someone asks for food', the response would be 'get it/cook it yourself'. It was funny and I found that I used that line on my hubby when he whinged about how I cooked roast potatoes compared to his Mum. She soaked them in oil old school style, I pre-cooked, then baked them with very little oil, same result but less fat and calories. I told him if he doesn't like how I cooked to do it himself and make sure he cleaned up lol.

Well that was just rude...I know how I felt when my aunt inlaw walked up to me and said your fat you need to lose weight..and let me tell you it hurts and makes you angry at the same time..Peopl need to keep their mouth shut..if a person wants to lose its a peranal thing..and only when they are ready they will lose...I like what elk2804 said to her husband..My DH and I were sitting wathing tv one evening..he wanted some food from the frig..he was just as close as me..and I told him unless his leg was broken and in a cast..he could get it himself..hey I'm his wife not his maid...he didn't like that but got what he wanted..and so did I ...LOL...

lol, yep if DH wants something enough he can get it himself otherwise he really doesn't want something. My rule of thumb is if I am going to the kitchen I'll ask if anyone wants something and if I get back after saying that they didn't want something or change their mind too bad. I also expect the same courtesy to be given to me

I would have taken them up on the offer. WW is expensive & if nothing else I would get the gratification of knowing that I was taking the money from someone who clearly doesn't stop to think things through & borderlines rude.
