Happy Thursday Check In

Re: Happy Thursday Check In

Doing great today...day 11 for me...only cravings is for fat, specifically mayo which I've always liked. Water no problem...up to 72 ozs and I know I'll hit 100 oz + before bedtime.

Only thing I did was eat a little extra in the last two days...all legal of course..i.e. an extra hardboiled egg and an additional Flaxmeal muffin...but other than that, cheat free and I feel really good about that

BTW....I added Almond SF Syrup to the muffin mix this time and it does add a nice flavor.

Have a great evening everyone!

Oh, folks, dear folks, it's not the full moon, you fools!

It's MY MOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has that effect on everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am just back from going to "coffee" with her and my dh for FOUR AND A HALF HOURS. He was lovely about running interference and not letting her be too, too absurd, but the fact remains that she's a nut. She tried to get her digs in but honestly, I am so exhausted and strung out, it didn't even register.

I'm about to eat some veggies with parmesan and then take a nap. Dinner tonight with her. Dear Ex doesn't arrive until tomorrow noon, but he can take over from there at least until midday on Saturday.

I'm holding my own, following the woe, not even tempted to cheat (not even tempted to eat anythign at all, actually, so I'm forcing myself) and staying as calm as I can....

Your support means soooo much to me!

So..........we went to "dinner" with the monster. She announced that since she's spent $1,000 coming here because nobody will return her calls, she can't afford to take us all out to eat (the woman only inherited a million dollars and a house.......) so my dh said well, we'll take YOU to Carl's Jr. That was a revelation for her.

I didn't eat anything, just had water and we sat outside at Starbucks to eat. I just couldn't bear the thought of a burger but I also couldn't think of anything else I wanted to eat......my two younger kids were there, and had a mono-syllabic conversation with her.

She's still under the impression that somehow the two older kids will see her. Unfortunately, (!) they don't answer their cell phones or listen to their messages. And when she suggested in front of the younger kids that I could convince the older ones to see her, my younger daughter said "You don't know them very well, do you? You can't convince them to do ANYTHING." I almost died trying to not laugh.

So I'm home and I made myself a comfort-food dinner: 3 eggs, scrambled with 1/4 cup sour cream and da Vinci raspberry syrup, lightly mixed and nuked for 3 minutes. Yummy!

I'm feeling ok. Still strung out, but again, not as bad as yesterday. Just dreading the next few days. My dear Ex called and he can't leave for our place tomorrow until noon, and it's an 8 hour drive. But he did promise to handle Saturday all day!

Thanks for all of the posts and pms!
