I am doing pretty good sticking to plan, but not getting in the excercise I should be. I am realy having a lot of problems with my legs lately, but I do what I can. I am hoping as the weight comes off I won’t be having the pain I have been having.

I am having a little dilema that I am hoping some of my buddies on here will give me some advice on. It concerns my 4 yr. old granddaughter. Her mom who is a little skinny size 6 and her other NaNa seem to think she is getting “Chunky” it bothers me. I am worried that if they make to big a deal out of it, that it could eventually lead too bullimia or anerexia ( excuse my spelling).  I bought her some play clothes the other day at the thrift store and my daughter in law called me back later to ask me what size I bought her, I told her size 5 like I had been getting her. She tells me her Mom has had Natasha all week and was tired of squeezing her into her clothes so she went and bought her 6 and 6 X. She went on about how her mom says that Natasha eats all day long. I did not want to get into it with her, but I did tell her when Natasha is here she eats 5 or 6 times a day, but not a lot at a time and I don’t give her soda, she drinks water, juice and milk. My daughter in laws mother is also very thin, and Natasha looks and acts so much like me they call her little Bette Jo, I think she is just afraid Natasha will end up as fat as I am. It realy bothers me. I think if they leave her alone and don’t make a big deal out of it and let her choose to eat the way she does she will be fine. She eats good foods when she is here. She eats fruits and veggies and very little meat. What do you think?

We went out to eat tonight and I only ate half of my dinner and brought the other half home for my son. I had sweet and sour pork and if I figured everything out right with my food journal on here I am still under my calories for the day. I ate pretty lite throughout the day, because I knew we were going out to eat. I even surprised my hubby by only eating a half a roll and half a butter instead of a whole one, I love butter! I also had my dressing on the side and dipped my fork into the dressing then my salad. I am surprised with myself, but I know this is truly not a diet, but a totaly new way of eating for life for me. I know when I lose it I will have to keep up with eating right and watching my portions so I never ever go back to the way I was!

Well good night wonderful buddies!

Have a good one!
