WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period!!

Over the Hump Day! A new Nurses Aid started at my Mom's house today.  She has fought us since last August because she doesn't want people coming and helping her. She can be VERY stubborn! Praying it goes well because I am getting totally burned out. We took the locks off of the door to her apartment so she can't lock them out.  A Physical Therapist brought her a walker yesterday and she is feeling more confident moving around.

thanks, Linda.  Her partner's mother is coming in tonight so I imagine the next few days are going to be rough.  I am so glad DH is there to support her.  He said she is doing ok, still shakey but ok.  I plan on flying up as soon as I can get through this Medicaid Audit.

Hi Roz,

Hope the nurses aid can become friends with your mom.  I bet she would enjoy the company if she can get used to having her there.  I'm sure she would rather stay at home than have to move somewhere else.
