Brilliant!!!

I can't diet - I need to lose too much weight".
??????????????????? Work that one out.

I can understand this. I looked at my DH and said I can't do this I have 200 pounds to lose. that is too big, too much, I can't do it! I have broken it down into 10 poud min goals ( 369...359...349 ect...) and I am doing it, but I can understand what he is thinking.

Yes, I tried that one with him - don't look at the whole try thinking about a few pounds at a time - that's the way I'm doing mine.
What gets me about him is WHAT he eats, no vegatbles at all (unless you count french fries). Everything is bread, cream, ice-cream and he's obsessed with meat. It's almost an eating disorder. Considering he's always upset about his life (no girlfriend, living with mum etc) it's amazing the way he blames EVERYTHING on his overweight. Basically underneath he's a decent guy, but it's "always someone else's fault". The food, his mother, the women he doesn't go out with. I've put him on God knows how many lonely hearts pages, but the gals are always "too old, too, thin, too blonde..." In the end, you just think "fine, be like that, but don't give me ear ache the whole time about it". And don't critisize me for doing something about my problem.
Oh, dear rant rant rant.......

SERIOUS VENT :yikes As you all know, I worked all last week at spreading the word about the ADBB Dinner in Dallas. My brother never even called me, didn't send the money that he volunteered, and I still haven't heard from him! So you might say I'm plenty pissed, and have been, all weekend. It is best that he not call for a while, because the words I have in mind for him are some kind of colorful. :mad2

I get really frustrated with the difference of opinions of medical staff at the hospital...

My doc said it was ok for me to go on the Atkins program and the Head Boss Lady at physical therapy in rehab is dead set against it!!!

Seems there can be a happy medium for all of us!!! Use make me upset!!Johnny :guns

[Checkers]

Hi Montanarebel,
does you're results with weight and diabetes mean anything to the physical therapist? Does she even understand what you get to eat? Sorry you're getting frustrated with the health professionals in your life.

[MontanaRebel]

Does she even understand what you get to eat?

I told her exactly what I eat and she is still dead set against it...she liked the fact I was not taking in sugar!! Johnny :guns

[Checkers]

That just seems unreasonable of her Montanarebel. At least the people that tell me it's bad are clueless about what I eat. I was just looking in my fridge a minute ago and I knoo that if a stranger walked into my house and looked in the fridge they would think 'Wow, this person sure eats a variety of nutritios and delicious foods!'.

[Buddrfly]

It all boils down to atkins-ignorance, Johnny! She probably knows next to nothing about this woe, because if she knew the facts, there's no way she could be against it.

[love2beeamom]

Yeah, there is so much ignorance. I work in a hospital, and am so amazed at the stupid comments people make. My coworkers have told me:
#1 - I am killing my kidneys with all the protein - which I go on to explain that I don't eat any more protein than they do, I just leave all the junk off that goes with there meals

#2 - I am gonna have a heart attack from eating too much fat like all the bacon, eggs, and cheese - for which I assure them my cholesterol was normal..in fact my good choleserol was nice and high

#3 - I am drinking too much water and am going to start swelling- I just was amazed that the nurse who told me this was so uneducated about the whole process of our bodies retaining fluids.

So, yeah... people need to read the book!!

[spirittalker]

Ok nother vent. I really really hate it that only the guys say anything about me losing weight. That and my dear friend. Other women do not say a word. I wonder if it's jealousy or competitiveness.

[FightingTheFight]

Tell you what Johnny, you tell her to show you her Phd in medicine then you can start listening to her.

[MontanaRebel]

Well for one thing I walk my own path and not someone elses...

I try to get all the info I can and make a sound judgment on my decision.

I talked to another physical therapist there who I like as well(male) and he does not like the program either...(I am afraid they are all on the same page at this hospital). He said he did not think I was getting all the good nutrition I needed and just stared at him...

So I just smile and will show them the results in the months to come...When they say you are really losing weight and looking good I will say yeah it is that damn Atkins program go figure!!! lol

Johnny :guns
