Guest guest Posted September 20, 2000 Report Share Posted September 20, 2000 Carla, Congratulations on your decisions to move forward with things. I am so happy for you. My mom has always kind of held me down too, so I know how you feel. I couldn't get up my efforts to get the weight off until my mom went south for the winter almost two years ago. Now I am struggling to get back on track so that I will start feeling energetic again. I keep trying to figure out when I really strayed off course. Your post jogged something in me. I was doing so well and mom started in on me again. Not that I needed to lose weight, I had accomplished that after all her moaning and groaning about my weight. This time mom was giving me the " you can't deny yourself this or that all the time " line and getting me to eat things that I didn't need and had not missed until I started eating them again. Now that I know what caused that I hope I can stay on track. Now it's personal. To thank you for helping me see where I went wrong, I have a special offer just for you... Once you finish cleaning your house from top to bottom you are going to feel so good about the accomplishment. I want to keep that going for you, so feel free to come on over and clean mine from top to bottom! LOL - If you fell for that, I might as well request the moon and the stars too, so bring some Splenda along, would you. Seriously, Congratulations on your new found resolve. You can do this!!!

My mom is the same way. My 3 yo got a bad case of the stomach ache last night so guess what. I didn't finish the house BUT I did get the carpet cleaned in the closets, the floor in the laundry room visible again Oh yeah, just yesterday, while at mom's, she got some caramel cookies down and proceeded to eat them. Then she made this statement "They're brand new, caramel coated". LOL I love my mom, I really do, and I know she means well, but she can't for the life of her understand that those cookies which were used to make me feel better my whole life, have turned into 280 (is) something pounds for me to carry around. I will resume my cleaning quest in appx. 20 minutes from now, so if you don't see another post from me today call 911 because the dust bunnies have staged an attack LOL Carla Mancil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2000 Report Share Posted September 20, 2000 Carla, Congratulations on avoiding the cookies. I love my mom too, but I keep thinking that it will be a lot easier staying on track once she goes south for the winter again. Love her dearly, but don't want to listen to her comments about either my weight or what I can and cannot have on my WOE. Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
