Well, definitely not doing as well as I'd hoped. My eating has been okay, but still not where it should be. My current weight is 228.6, so that's 1.4 pounds lost so far this month. I've been doing much better so far this week, so hoping I'll start dropping soon. I did get some exciting news Monday afternoon, and had a meeting with the person yesterday. Please pray that everything goes as I'm hoping This would be an exciting change for my life that would definitely relieve a lot of stress, and I would be working right across the hall from my best friend! I should hear back by next Friday. This next week is going to be torture.

Good morning! Man, it is a little chilly in our part of the country...so NOT what you expect for July.
Marina Brasil - Hang in there girlie! I don't know what makes someone who loves you say and do such stupid, harmful things. I have in-laws like your father. They want to criticize your weight, but then are *****ing when they have a family dinner full of stuff you don't need and you don't fill your plate. CRAZY! I wish I had some wonderful advise for you...but everyone has to deal with family in their own way.
dare 2 dream - Good Luck with the new position!!! Fingers crossed for you!
Sending everyone some willpower and extra energy to go with it! Have a great day!
Today should be my low for the week based on the trend of my diet, which means no loss for the week, though there is still tomorrow morning...I'm due for a woosh, but I'm not sure my body agrees lol
Marina_Brasil: 10 days with parents would be a challenge for most people, and your situation sounds particularly puzzling. What goals can you set for yourself? What sort of plan can you make? Maybe something like "I will eat a giant salad for at least one meal a day." Or, "I will eat no more than one snack a day."
No surprise on my poor week -- exercise has been completely on plan, but the summer evening cocktails are simply unforgiving. On a positive note, although the scale is up, I "feel" smaller then i felt at the beginning of the week (in fact i'm somewhat suspicious of my scale result this morning but will keep it since i do tend to keep the low results that i'm sometimes suspicious of - Ha!)
boating mommy I guess my dad is just really insecure and self conscious when it comes to his body. Since he lost weight he is always competing with whoever is near him when it comes to food. I don't believe he does it intentionally, though. He respects when i say i don't want what he offers me, but he'll offer me lots and lots of food, including those type of food i can't have near me or there's a good chance i'll binge eat. Thanks for the support! I'll focus on having a nice time and avoiding sugary food. (Oh, and i must tell that we had snow in my city last year...the weather is crazy! I live in the south of Brazil and it gets really cold in winter, but snow is rare in my city although in some places even more to the south it snows every year.)
gardenerjoy My main goal is to not gain weight, which will be hard! I also will try my best to stick to my 3 meals a day and maybe something sweet everyday, which is also really hard because my mom will buy everything-chocolate and the house is always filled with sugary treats. My partner will be joining me at my parents for the last 5 days so it might be easier to be together because we support each other a lot.
Woodstock I'm in the same boat, exercise has been on plan, eaten almost entirely vegetarian this week, which makes me feel good and feel smaller as well, so I'm just going to keep on and try to be patient...
Marina Brasil have a wonderful visit, sounds like you're aware of your challenges and coming up with a plan. Whatever happens weight wise, when you get back, you'll get back on your routine. Lately I've been looking at where I was this time last year as inspiration to keep at it, I'm up a couple from my low this year but still down from last year.

The problem with traveling for the Holidays is I would be down 12 lbs if I hadn't gained 6 lbs back. But the important part is to just pick yourself back up and get back on track.
