Checkin' In

We've been in Alabama for Thanksgiving and came back this past weekend. Seems we've been running'round ever since, trying to play catch-up.

Thankgiving was fine.  We never told my mother-in-law about my WLS. She just wouldn't get it and what's the point really?  She's 84, a total worry wart, and it would just shake her up too much.

The only problem about not coming "clean" is that she is such a food pusher! Always has been and always will be.  I mean, we don't do anything but eat, sit, and talk about what and when we'll eat next.  I had to get out of the house... it was a matter of maintaining sanity.

She tells me I don't eat enough... we fight over it (sarcastically, but there's truth in it) and it's a game we play meal-to-meal.  I just hate that it happens in front of my 4 year old.  :(

I think by the end of the trip we were successful in telling her to relax with the food pushing -- we reminded her of how happy she is that I am healthier and what it takes nutritionally to go further and/or stay where I am weight/health-wise.  She's getting, s-l-o-w-l-y... bless her heart.

Hope everyone had a lot to be thankful for... I know I did.

Holiday is over... back to the gym today!

Glad to hear your Thanksgiving was fine.... Sorry you had to go through all that with your MIL, at least she is starting to "get it".... I know so many people like that, and I don't think they will ever change....

She should not be doing stuff like that in front of your 4 year old either.... She should think of that before she starts being pushy with the food..... 

Personally I didn't eat much, but I still over ate and I ended up getting sick from all I ate.... My day was miserable.... My DIL was almost 2 hours late showing up with my grandson, my 17 year old ended up staying at his cousins house until 10:30 pm, I dropped half the mashed potatoes on the floor and then proceeded to drop half the stuffing on the floor too......  Needless to say I did my share of crying that day, but I guess it was just a typical day for me lately..... Oh well......

I am just thankful that my son (the one in Iraq), is still safe and healthy.....

 

Well, back to the laundry.... Hope you have a great day....

Hugs,
