Day 8 mean family :(

[ipedregon]

Last night after dinner they whipped out a large box of truffles my wife got for christmas and taunted me

It totally sucked I LOVE sweets

I finally took off to walgreens and got some sugar free MINI-reeses and ate 3 of them which may have put me a little over my carb limit for the day but its sugar alcohol stuff so I don't think it's too much damage to the induction I still seem to be in ketosis

Dangit .. it's OK last time I lost 70 lbs after I was down 30 lbs my wife decided to go on it too .. so her induction pains will come soon after she she's me going down more and payback is a

So far day 8 of induction and 11 lbs

Re: Day 8 mean family

Ugh, my daughter does that to me. Luckily, my hubby doesn't. He is a teaser, so I am shocked actually that he doesn't!

Good for you for sticking to your guns!!!!

Re: Day 8 mean family

I have a mean co worker who brings in cakes and brownies... and puts her 100 calorie cookie food/thingies right up in my face and says... "I can eat these!" ha! I just about want to smack that girl... but I know she's just jealous and mad that I lose wt and she doesn't... so she's trying to derail me... hang strong!

I think you should call a family meeting and inform your family why you need to lose weight and why you need them to support your effort.

I don't think they would tease and taunt you if they knew you HAD to lose weight because your cholesterol levels are sky-high and you're a heart attack waiting to happen.

So sit down with them and explain it all. If after that, they don't support your weight loss efforts, then at least you will know the true character of your family (and you can always get them when you write your will!)

Re: Day 8 mean family

I totally agree with not2late. It is important that your family is on your side, supporting and encouraging you. They should be your backbone, and you should be able to go to them to help you get back on track if needed. Explain to them that your health is not a joke! I'm sure they'll understand and be more than accomodating to your needs, if you put it that way.

Re: Day 8 mean family

I don't understand people or why they don't want others to succeed. Taunting a person w/ food is like taunting a person that is trying not to smoke w/ a cigarette, however I bet that doesn’t happen...because in most people's minds that is completely, however in my eyes it is the same. Great job to everybody how is able to not give in to the temptations of their friends and loved ones.

Re: Day 8 mean family

Good for you, not eating those terrible sweets. That took a lot of determination and will power. If you can survive the taunts of your family in your face...think of how well you'll do when facing other high carb situations. Give yourself a pat on the back. They are only making you stronger!

Re: Day 8 mean family

Well done for resisting that temptation!
Isn't it strange how mean family and friends can be when it comes to someone else's weight loss...
Ignore them and do your own thing. You'll be the winner at the end of the day.

Re: Day 8 mean family

I totally understad . There are people at work that have no idea how I a changing my eating habits and one woman came by passing out cherry cordials, tey smell so good just because of the vanilla scent but i knew it would make me gag from beingto sweet. I said sorry i can't eat that but thank you, of course she kind of sneered and i just laughed and went bac to work.

Then yesterday they had a PIZZA party to celebrate our trainin class graduating and getting promotions but I made plans to go get chinese with some co-worker friends and one of the girls from my training class passed us as we were leaving and says, "You aren't going to OUR pizza party" I said, ""No, I ca't eat that stuff. I could eat the toping off the pizza but not the sauce or crust and how filling and satisfying would that be with everyoe eyeballin me like im a freak" Told her I was just going to go have a real meal. I got steamed broccolli and steamed chicken with mushrooms.

I still have yet to see how things go with being around my mother. Last time I did anythign with her all it was as junk food. An entire weekend of sitting on our butts watching movies and eating junk food and I think the only time we had any food at all was mcdonalds and that isn't happening again. The only thing I will get from them i the scrambled eggs and bacon if i dont feel like cooking in the moring.

I think they all think I am allergic to the stuff.. You come to think of it I think MAYBE its a possibility that human genetic makeup is alergic to all that processed crap thus the allergic reaction is t blimp out. But just my opinion... The scientist in me.

S far I haven't had anyone really taunt me with anything becaus I am a very serious person I thnk and a lot of peope that know me know that I have a naty attitude when I am messed with. lol Nt that its good but it does keep the buttheads from buggin me. I half expect someone to within the next 40lbs.

Re: Day 8 mean family

Family meeting time as Megs suggested. If they don't get it use the

power of the alcoholic quitting drinking analogy. Would they offer/taunt with alcohol???

Good luck & I hope they start to be supportive. If not at least you have ADBB!

Re: Day 8 mean family

Yesterday was a rough day all together but I came out OK in the end.

This morning I woke up and stepped on the scale, stepped off .. and on again to be sure

Suddenly I appear to be 265 ! Just 15 more pounds to my first mini goal !!

Re: Day 8 mean family

I cannot take credit for this, it was posted about 2 1/2 years ago when I saw it. I wish I could remember the member's name who said it....anyway, each time you get tempted or taunted by something sugary or carb-laden, simply picture it in your mind covered in the contents of the cat box. Works like a charm for me! It is instantly revolting.

Re: Day 8 mean family

Its insane that the people who you love and respect most are the ones who try to derail you so much. I know how this goes. I was at IHOP yesterday with my mom and she was describing in detail the stuffed french toast etc... I ordered ALL meat & over easy eggs and just went on with it while she ate her pancakes etc... I know the reason behind it all since I weigh less than her now and she says she could never do this woe because she won't try.

But I feel for you and know what you are going through. I live with the skinniest people on earth (seriously) and they are constantly snacking in front of me it takes courage and will but we will be the happier person in the end.
