JMA312's Journal, 18 May 2011

Joyce, my mom and dad do the same...."One little bite won't hurt." I just keep telling them over and over, everytime I see them, sorry I can't have that. I also take a little luch cooler with things I can have and eat that with them, so that we can enjoy breaking bread together, even if there is no bread involved on my end! Unfortunately, mom's memory problems mean that I have to "remind" her every time that I can't eat the pizza she has ordered, or the KFC she went and got for us all, and I always just say "Hey, put it in the fridge and reheat for later. That way you don't have to cook and it won't go to waste." Hard though, isn't it. We need to have a lesson on how to handle these things. Hope you have an awesome day, and remember, you are still down 30 pounds from a year ago, and that's nothing to sneeze at! 

Stef - maybe we could have a retreat for Ladies who care for their elderly parents! (oh, probably not a resort big enough to handle us all!) Joyce - so glad you are hanging in there. And proud of you too for resisting. Few more days and it'll be soooo much easier! Stay ahead of the curve and keep to yourself for a few more days, and lots of Induction Friendly foods at home :) 

thank you Stef & Paula, all you say is soooo true! It is good to hear someone else is in the same boat as I, even though it is a tough place to be I think we can make it together. OH, Paula what a wonderful idea, lets go!
