@mdanziger, thank you for the condolences :) Husband and I are on the same track, and we often talk about the weight loss, and we "pick our battles" so to speak, with the mil, and we have agreed that she can cook her way, we will just eat what we know is right, if she doesn't cook that way, there is a fridge in the house ;Dthat we can make our own stuff. And like Umpa has said, "if she realizes" that her efforts are going "uneaten" maybe she will slow down? But till then, it's one heck of a bridge to break. But I'm game! I can't begin to tell you how many uphill battles I've already had with her! So heck, what's one more?! ;D

@Morgan, you have "No idea" how much of a controll freak she is! OMG!  She won't let anybody else but her cook, of course, unless she's busy or just doesn't feel like it! It seems when we were by ourselves up north, we lost all the weight, because, well, we lived by ourselves, and "we" controlled everything! Now she does! But, I am takeing a stand! I will post often! This morning, for breakfast, I had apple and cheese salad. Not sure the carb count, but I didn't have that much of it. For lunch, I am going to make me a salad. For dinner, I am only goinng to have the meats. No sides, or deserts. And yes, I have to go through detox again!  :'( But it will be worth it, when I start looseing the weight again!
@Umpa, we have all fallen off the bandwagon! :'(I am sad to say. But like I said, we haven't gained a whole lot, we just feel miserable! So, we are starting from rock bottom! And will no longer cave in! She had to have the lapban done to loose her weight, and I almost think sometimes, that, that's the reason she cooks that way. Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't. But, just because she cooks it, doesn't mean we have to eat it! I know I've failed many, many times. But I think I am actually to the point to where my back is against the wall. Know what I mean? I know I can do it, I've done it before, just this time will have to take a little more will power!
@Andrea, you are so right on the roller coaster few years! But, the food, like you said, is where I can take control, and will!
Thank you all for the support and the hugs! ;D One slow step at a time!
"I will no longer let food controll my life, Eat to Live not live to eat! I will not let food controll my emotions, and I will not eat, just because it's there!"

I am what they call an "oldie but goodie!" I know the rules, I have lived by the rules, and have lost the weight! And the way of life really does work!! Heck, I am proof of that! I went from a 22 to size 16. But I digressed big time! I have been blessed with the ability to "hide the weight" so to speak, but I know it's there! I am uncomfortable in my own skin. I think the first thing that triggered it was my moms death this July, and this being the first Christmas I wasn't able to go to her house for Christmas, like we had all these years. It was a hard reality, but I "barely" made it through. I think I literally ate my way through my emotions. I am disgusted, and embarrased with myself.
I have made up my mind though. (and yes, I know I've said it a million times on here!)I have made up my mind(again!), I do not want to be 800lbs. and miserable. Not that I'm anywhere near that! But I'm to the point to where I just want to sit down and cry! My mother n law still cooks loads of carbs, and doesn't show signs of stopping! I told my husband, I don't care, I've got to do something, or I will end up as big as the house! I have to get out and excersize and do something! i think most of it has been a little bit of depression. I have made it through my first Christmas without my mom and surived. So if I can do that, I can loose the weight!
I am sorry for being longwinded! And I am sorry "Doug" for being so darn wishy washy! I just need a little "shove" in the right direction!!

You are so true Doug! I haven't looked at the scale in a while, seems we all tend to do that when we get off track? But much to my amazement, I started out at 240, and now down to 193. Not much, but it's better than where I was at! So far, I have been doing good! My husband was laughing at me ;Dnot really laughing, but, my 18yr. old gave me the idea of cutting up celery into little baggies cause we have a mini fridge in our room ;Dwhenever I feel like "venturing" where I shouldn't, I go for the celery! Cause my way of thinking is, if I don't go into the kitchen where all the bad stuff is, I won't eat it. So far it's been working!
Also, she made dinner this past week, with of course the meat, and of course with the sides one night she made those small white potatoes, didn't even touch them. And she made some kind of beef tips with rice, didn't even eat the rice. So far I'm doin good! ;D

Thank you everybody for listening & being here ;DReally means a lot! Also Tony, I'm sorry for your loss! I lost my father n law yearsss ago! And it' s still hard! (incase y'all havent figured out yet,  ;DI'm a very emotional person! ;D)And yes my mother n law has the fat to skinny book. She knows how she should be cooking, and won't! That's what irritates us so bad! But like my "18yr. old" said! (shocking!)He said he used to eat it just because it was there, but he says he's not eating that kind of stuff anymore! He's wanting to work out and stuff like that, so we've all taken the plunge! Even though my mother n law does all the cooking, we don't have to eat it!
Hope everyone is haveing a happy Wednesday!!

Hi guys! Long time no see! As many of you know, my mom passed away towards the end of July of this year. And although I really haven't eaten THAT much of it, I have been eating some sweets. I "know" I shouldn't, but I have. "Comfort" food, I guess? I have been depressed for a while, still am, but, we live with my mother n law for right now, we are currently looking for houses, but she buys sweets, knowing that we are trying to loose weight. But, we have all talked about it(& she has even had the lap ban done, and still buys sweets!)I am so tired of the way I look and feel all the time. I have come to the realization, that if nothing else, I can controll what I eat! Just because it is stareing me in the face, I do not  have to eat it! She is the cook in the house right now, and we all hate it, because she cooks, carb heavy! But, we have also talked about it, we are just going to eat the meat and vegetables, and nothing else! We were talking one night, and agreed, that if we keep eating the way we are, we're going to balloon up the way we were! I have decided to start walking in the evenings, when it is cooler.(if that's possible in Florida!)And just takeing account of what I eat! I am in controll of how I look and feel!

General Discussion / Need some prayers!
« on: July 17, 2012, 11:40:42 AM »
Hi guys! I just found out this past Saturday, that my mom is in a nursing home, and that she has less than six months to live. She has nemonia along with Louis body disease, which is dementia, alzheimers together, and she has parkins disease in her legs. I go visit her twice a day, and I'm not going to lie, it hurts. When I get in my car to come home, I cry home. We were up north for three years, and the last memory I have of her, she was still the same! The thing with this disease, it makes you look older. She is 64, but it makes her look 84. She isn't doing good at all, frankly neither am I. I don't eat much, and I am always tired and wore out, emotionally. My dad died when I was two, and don't have the first memory of him. And seeing a parent like this for the first time, is a real shock! Don't know if I can handle it. And would appreciate some prayers!
Love you guys!

Thanks guys for the support! And it's not too nosey! He's got type 2. He just takes Metformin for it. And Mouseissue, you are right! It seems like, anytime, the school system or government gets involved, it messes up everything!!

Hi guys! Summer has been in full swing and so have we! I like it better in the bus, at least I'm going in only ONE direction! haha...This is going to be long, so bare with me! Well, since we have moved back down to Florida, my 16yr. olds high school, wanted us to go to a clinic, downtown! We have a primary doctor that we go to, that is way better! I will never go to the one downtown again!!!
My 16yr. old got diagnosed with diabeties while we were in Missouri, in 2010, I believe. They did the required bloodwork etc...of course to "come up with that decision!" Well, the dr. today, tells me(are ya ready?!)that he wants my 16yr. old to totally quit takeing his diabeties medicine for...FOUR whole months!! He takes Metformin, Simvistatin? And cholestrol medicine. Honestly, I'm no doctor, but do you know what could happen to that boys blood sugar in four months??!! Even with "Direct" supervision from us, at home?!! Geese, when my husband came home, I told him everything the doctor told me! He wants him to come back in four months, to "reassest" everything! And to basicly start him over from scratch! Do you know what that can do to his system? Totally mess him up big time! I thought our primary doctor sent him over there, but my husband said, no, it was his "school" doing all of this!! The doctor, with almost a grin told me, that the dosage he was on for each medication, was bare minimum, that he was going to probably be on a thousand milligrams!! Seriously!?
I know I've harped on this before, but how can the school system be so darn ignorant??! And doctors, for that matter! Didn't they have to go through years of training to be a doctor?! So my husband informed us, that he would continue takeing his medication, and the next time one of us has an appointment over there, I am going to tell the doctor everything the doctor downtown told me!
Would love y'alls input!
