Happy Sunday……..
I didn’t get a chance to blog yesterday! I read your blogs and then my in-laws showed up and they were here most of the day! For most of my buddies you know of my issues there. I am doing much better dealing with my M-IL. I just keep telling myself I have to accept that is the way she is and not harp on the fact she is a mean person. In a way I now kind of feel sorry for her. She is not doing as well as she could be, but that is her own fault. She does not work on her physical therapy on her own, only when the therapist comes. She craves the attention that she gets for being helpless. My F-IL does everything for her and he jumps when she calls. It annoys me to know end that if she did her therapy she could be doing so much better, but she would rather sit around and cry about how bad she hurts. My mother on the other hand is almost 12 years older and does any and everything she can for her physical and mental health. Yesterday was a long hard day for me to deal with. I kept my mouth shut, even though I thought I was going to bite a hole in my tongue. I don’t discuss my husbands mother with him anymore like I use to. I know he sees it and it bothers him , after all she is his mother, but there is nothing he can do.

Well this week I lost a pound. I am happy, but yet something just nags inside me that I could be doing better. I have to admit I get a little jealous when I read some of buddies weight losses of 3,4 and 5 pounds. Now don’t get me wrong, I am genuinely happy for your great weight losses. I know I would probably lose better on a more restrictive diet, but could I live with it? The answer to that is NO! This is the first diet I have ever stuck with this long and have lost almost every week. I will stick to what I am doing. It is a slow process, but I know I will do it! I will lose this weight no matter how long it takes.

I hope all my buddies having a great weekend!

Off to read some more blogs!
Sorry you about your MIL. Some people just can’t help it that they are irritating. Luckily, me and mine get along very well.
Congrats on the 1 lb. loss!
Every little bit counts. And like you, I’ve found something that works for me. So while I may not lose 3-4 lbs a week (Kudos for those that do), I’m approaching this as a lifestyle change so that I know deep in my heart that what I’m doing now is what I’ll be doing for the rest of my life.
Have a great week!!
Great job on losing another pound. You do what works for YOU!
As for your MIL…my favorite way to handle people like her is to ”kill them with kindness”. That’s what I always did to my MIL… when she’d start in on me I’d be just soooo sweet to her! Kinda funny in a way cuz it would just make her steam!!! And Micheal loved the fact that I didn’t just stand there and take it or give her back some of the same hatefulness.
