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!

Blah!It felt sooooo good today to get back into my routine. I had a great eating day today. I only had 1200 calories and burned 1008 in the gym this morning (a personal best for me!) I even got my water in!
My lowest weight last week was 140. This morning it was 143.5. I don't know why I do that to myself...

Hey there Strangers!!!!!! Sorry I have been MIA, but I have had a ton going on..... Actually spent a month in the hospital for my depression, and I am still working on it with my doctor...... Anyway, I thought I would check in... Not proud of my progress, but I will report anyway....
Starting weight - 309
Lowest weight - 177
Current weight - 223
It's been a rough road lately needless to say.... Although my weight has at least been pretty much the same for the past few months
I have to admit that I did trade my food addiction for another addiction..... Alcohol.... It has been pretty bad, but I did go to my first AA meeting last week and I have been clean and sober since 10/17/08.....
Hope to get back to the board and talking to everyone again.....
Hugs to ALL,
Shawn M.
