My sister, Sandy, who is ( or was before she came here this weekend) doing well on program came for a short visit with my 3 nephews so we had six boys in the home, 3 of which are teens, taller than us, and very hungry beings. What are two moms to do but feed them tons and of course test all the food to make sure it wasn't poison.
Here goes...
Friday dinner
5 pieces of papa john's pizza 50pts.
Sat. movie popcorn 20 points
fried chicken burritos 15 points each
cheese cake 8 points a piece
Sunday
spagetti with fried meatballs 15 points
you get the picture. We have eaten our points for the month but we will not let that stop us from starting again this morning. :) Why is it when we have company everything is about the food??? It's like it is a get out of jail free card. I know I am not in jail but sometimes I feel like I am because I don't want to let go of certain foods (carmel fraps) that I like. I know that there are ways to make your favorite foods into a lower calorie food but I think sometimes I am too lazy for that. How bout you? Do your visits with relatives or friends revolve around food? Do you use these visits as a time to slip, or in our case flat out fall, off program? We would love to here what happens in your lives in this very rewarding, yet sometimes frustrating path to weight loss.

Hey sis! We had a great visit and enjoyed everything to include all the yummy food, frapps, etc. Back on program today though!

I did great on my WW stuff when I was in Florida last week. Oh yeah - I was soooo proud of myself. Even managed to loose a couple of pounds. NOW, however, that I'm back home, I'm having to force myself not to eat everything that doesn't move fast enough. What the heck? I woke up this morning and have just felt fat all day long. Don't know what this feeling is about, but it's making it very hard to be good with my points. In fact, dinner tonight was a disaster! But tomorrow's another day, right? It's going to be a rough weekend (we're doing a bit of traveling), but I'm hoping that by Monday, I will have my attitude under control and will be pressing forward with my grand weight loss plan. LOL

Hi Sandy,
I didn't know you had this blog. What a great idea. I'll ermark it and put it on my sidebar. Good luck! P.S. Found out about your blog from Kari.
OMG, points? Calories? Fat Grams? Carbs? My head is spinning and now I feel I must go to the kitchen to find something to bring my sugar up...like maybe a brownie...how many points is that???
Sandi
ps
Kari sent me...that devil
Just found you all from Kari's. I know Sandy from her other blog so I feel like I know you all already. I have a blog on my weight loss battle and I would be happy to share it with you... http://itsalosingbattle.blogspot.com/
Nice to meet you all! Love the blog design!
Amen, amen, amen!!!!!
I had lost 14lbs before my niece came for a visit last summer. By the time she left, I had gained 10 of it back!
At the beginning of this summer I decided to do the SB again. (South Beach) Finally 4 lbs down, just in time for my momma in-law to come for a week. In 1 week I gained it all back (and them some).
Something about food and company, I agree!
Look back in history! The Romans had there feast, the greeks did too. So did the Egyptians. Everytime a person visited another on a settler's prarie... FOOD was offered!
Well... I'm gonna get back on it!
Let me sign off with two of the most profound quotes that I have ever heard.
"I think I can!" -Thomas the Train
And for the more 'grown-up version...
"I can not do this, but I believe that You can!"- Joni Erickson Tada
Enough of my crazy rambling...
In Him,
