My final weigh in for the NYNY challenge is 200.8! Thats about 7lb up on my previous weigh in. I have pigged a bit (OK a lot) over christmas, mainly due to all the yummy edible stuff so kindly given to me by the children at the pre-school I work at, along with the christmas cake and then my son's birthday cake! There has been so much unhealthy stuff around and I have done a very poor job of resisting it. There is loads left and I am feeding it as quickly as possible to the kids (who are utter pigs and skinny as you like) to get it out of the house. Jane

sorry you gained but think how bad it could have been, one of my friends had a lot of food gifts one year, she found a nursing home and just dropped it off on her way home, good luck this year, Lee Just Me <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > My final weigh in for the NYNY challenge is 200.8!

Resisting all the good stuff during the holidays is very hard, especially when it's received as a gift. Good thing you have help at home getting rid of it. My mother gave me what she couldn't afford to have in her house, and I, in turn, gave to my kids what I couldn't afford to have in my house. What my kids didn't eat on the road trip home, they threw in the trash. On Wed, 31 Dec 2003 19:05:16 -0000, "Just Me" <[email protected]> wrote: >My final weigh in for the NYNY challenge is 200.8!

Thanks Erin, I'm hopeful that the pounds will drop off as fast as they went on, I usually find that after a big gain I can usually lose it all and a bit more pretty quickly.

Happy New Year to you too, Today I have re-committed to losing this weight - I never lost my commitment - I just put it aside for christmas I'm back to my old WOE today - even though there is plenty of christmas cake and birthday cake still hanging around - I'm just going to have to resist it now.

That's a good idea, donating all the food gifts, I don't think my own children would have been too happy though, at least I have them to eat all the stuff for me.

Thanks Kristin, I decided before christmas that I wouldn;t stress over food until new year - and now I'm right back on track and heading on downwards.

Well, we're not so open as I make it sound. My mother suffers hurt feelings when I reject food so I take it home to spare us both unnecessary anguish. On my way into the house from the car, I deposit it in the trash if it's something I can't/don't want to have. I spare my mother the details and just tell her the food was delicious and her thoughtfulness greatly appreciated. Somewhere along the way I managed not to pass onto my kids the Depression-era attitudes about food that my parents held. So when they tell me they don't want something, I'm fine with that. When they tell me they tossed the leftover cookies and fudge that they decided to take with them, I'm fine with that too. And when they tell me that the Swedish pea soup survived the 2-day car trip in the cooler and what a nice pleasure to be able to sit down to Mom's home cooking after they finished unpacking the car, I know they're sincere.

Hmm, well, after investing hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in therapym, I finally learned that I can't change my mother. But I can change how I respond. We're all much better off. I've tried hard not to repeat her mistakes with my own kids. So instead, I'm practicing a whole new set of flaws on them. <G> Prairie Roots On Fri, 2 Jan 2004 02:55:19 -0600, "Miss Violette" <[email protected]> wrote: >and that explanation is even better than I imagined.

LOL! I could have taught you those same things for much cheaper. <G> In my moms better days she was obsessed with the weight of my nephew, to the point it was the only thing she would talk about and drove me nuts. I kept telling her that it was useless to give so much time and attention to something she had absolutely no control over. I take the attitude that if I can't personally change something, then I will not get upset or obsessed about it. So far, it works for me. <G> Funny, I do the same thing with my own kids - try hard to not repeat the same mistakes I feel I was raised with. When they complain, I tell them they are guinea pigs ... parenting is totally experimental. When they have their own kids, they can get even. <g> Joyce On Sat, 03 Jan 2004 09:40:27 -0600, Prairie Roots <[email protected]> wrote: >Hmm, well, after investing hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in therapym, I finally >learned that I can't change my mother.
