Well I seem to be doing much better. I told my parents what I was doing and I think they're just happy I am doing something. Hopefully I can stick to this. I feel like if I don't I'll be disappointing them.
Funny thing. Both of my parents have been "dieting" on and off for a year. Last week the doctor told me father he needed to lose 40 lbs. So my father is low carbing. My mother had back surgery and was told she needed to lose weight and is counting calories. So my father was making this salad yesterday and my mother was sitting there making a face like who can you eat that because it looked pretty high fat and high calorie, but it was low carb. My mother was sucking down low fat popcorn and he was giving her the same look. I was sitting there asking them are you hungry...well than don't eat it. Just found it funny 3 different "diets" at the same table and how different they worked.
I was there for about 2-3 hours and my mother just kept reaching for stuff ....snacking...but not actually eating a meal...I finally asked her are you hungry why don't you eat something and she said no she wasn't hungry...Then she started doing again and I glanced at her and she said you know what I'm going to skip dinner and go upstairs so she won't snack (we were sitting in the kitchen).
So I said why don't you eat a meal and then you should be ok. Eat whatever is you want to eat. Then I told her that when I come over seems like you haven't really eaten a whole meal all day, your hungry but you don't want to over eat so you snack....and then eat stuff you're not really interested in just because you can eat small handfulls of it.
The other thing that happend was their car broke down and she couldn't walk 4 blocks. She's been watching calories, but not excercising. She says she needs to have something done to her arm and she'll end up back in physical therapy and she'll get regular excercise then. So I made the
face and said what happens when therapy is over?
Then I realized I had become the thing I always had hated.
The person who has lost weight and swears they know eveything. (and all I've lost is 1lb LOL) So I said try only eating when you're hungry and shut up.
