My weekend is going ok. I definitely have tried to make the best choices, but have to admit I have not done great. My sister and I went out friday night, dinner and a movie, I did good at dinner, grilled chicken, broccoli, and salad. Water to drink. We went to the movies. No popcorn. Mostly b/c I was being thrifty and really didn't want to spend $6 on something I would regret the next day. But then Saturday we took the kids to Build-a-bear at the mall and then ate in the foodcourt. I got my kids a dinner, sesame chicken and fried rice, BAD! I couldn't decide what I wanted so I just ate their leftovers, which wasn't much, but not a good choice. Then dinner, we had more company, made tacos, chips and salsa ect...I could have made better choices, but didn't. Then caved and had an ice cream cone LATE that night. UGH!! I was up a pound this morning, but maybe b/c I ate so late. and lots of sodium. I usually don't eat past 8. This was after midnight. So, maybe if I get in a good workout today and eat light tonight it will be gone.
My sister worries me. She is over 300 lbs. In such denial. Says she is dieting, then eats so much. She will fix food for her daughter and basically eat a meal while doing that, then fix her own plate and eat again. And then says, "I did pretty good today" She knows she has a problem. She has been overweight her whole life, unlike me, who was always small until I had kids. You can't tell her anything though. She has heard it all. I wish you could put all the food she consumes in a day, in one big pile, and let her see how much she eats. She always says, I don't understand why I am so big, I don't eat that much. Such denial. But I can't do it for her. She has to do it for herself. We have all talked to her about it. her health, her future, seeing her daughter grow up and be able to play with her. She just has to make up her mind and follow through. Anyway. I guess I just needed to vent about that. It is hard to watch sometimes. I just care about her. Anyway. tomorrow I will weigh-in. Fingers crossed!!
