Liz, remember nutrition education was really limited back in the day. When I was in my late teens and 20s everyone was all about low fat, no fat, etc... Remember that woman on TV Susan Powder or something like that who espoused eating baked potatoes and not eating meat??? Entenmann's came out with fat free danish that was loaded with sugar, then there were fat free potato chips, etc... We all just got fatter and fatter.
So, DH's sisters may just not know. My Ron still holds on to believing that fruit juice is a healthy beverage. I know a lot of people who believe meal size is more important than the macronutrients the meals contain. BFF will eat half a turkey and cheese sandwich with potato chips a Coke for lunch then have some chips or crackers and dip for a snack and complain that he doesn't eat much so he should be losing weight. He is very much a calorie in, calorie out believer, but doesn't realize that 4 Ritz crackers have more calories than a small apple or a hard boiled egg and spike blood glucose, etc...
So, 202.2 today for me. Had a good session with NUT therapist. While I was grooming Buster yesterday I was struck by the idea that I might be sabotaging myself because you know, if I'm not trying to lose weight, who am I? A lot of my inner identity is wrapped up in thinking I should always be trying to lose weight.... When we discussed this idea she asked me if I was feeling rebellious. I was honestly able to answer no. But then something started to trigger me and I realized I was having issues around believing that to get below 200 I needed to withhold food and I have significant issues with "Don't take my food away!" type thinking. When I start thinking I will be deprived, my eating disordered thinking kicks into high gear. I felt good getting to the crux of that.
Another gray and gloomy day. The sun is threatening to break through the fog. Fingers crossed it does.
DD, hope the orchestra concert was great. CC, glad you had fun last night and fun playing with your new robot washer! Diane S, glad you are getting sun!!!! Paula, enjoy that lovely pool. Have you seen any gators yet? Those prehistoric creatures give me the heebies!
Have a super Saturday everyone.
She is all levels of messed up when it comes to her health. I have been known to refer to her as our family's own personal "Judy Garland". She's got a medicine cabinet not to be believed. She suffers from a severe level of migraine headaches and has chronic pain to the extent that about 15 years ago her doctor declared her disabled. She became dependent on dilaudid for pain management, became obese for a while due to the meds and inactivity, and on and on... Her medical issues never stop. On top of it she has always leaned toward hypochondria and has a low level of tolerance for even the most minor affliction. So, yes, I think she has an eating disorder now, too!
I get mine through Noom.

It can operate both by The rechargeable battery or by plugging it in so you can do indoor and outdoor!
119 - due to pizza intake last night.
It is incredibly foggy out this morning. You can't see anything across the marina. Really weird. We may have to walk in it as it isn't supposed to clear until 10 or so.
A yoga break yesterday was really nice. I plan to repeat that today, followed by a golf clinic.
I was thinking about the houseguest effects. We don't really have to take them places to entertain them but while they are here there is constant chatting. Tough to get much done because I feel weird to walk away to get something accomplished. 5 more days! Then 5 days alone until we leave for Massachusetts.
Strange what they eat and their perspective on it. Pop tarts for breakfast, hot dogs/grilled cheese/chicken fingers/hamburgers/pizza for lunch/dinner. Snacks like butter pretzels and Cheetos in between. The older sister who is probably 35-40 pounds overweight says she doesn't know why she is heavy since she only eats small meals. Which is true but highly caloric small meals and snacks. Luckily they buy their own snacks.
Time to get some laundry started then start a walk in the fog. I hope it clears earlier than forecasted!
Have a sweet Saturday!

That robot is amazing! Can you do the outside with it using an extension cord?
Thats a somewhat disturbing thought about breathing in the red dust. I guess that could happen anywhere there is a lot of dust in the air though.
