I brought dessert which is always expected, and I made a pecan pie with kahula so I wouldn't touch it (I don't like booze in my baked goods). I also brought a big salad because I never know what "veggies" she is going to buy. She did get asparagus and portabello mushrooms that I cooked on the grill. She boiled some corn to death with my potatoes and was sort of upset when I said I wasn't eating them (the rest of the family likes potato salad). Oh well. I threw a boca burger on the grill for my protein as well, as she won't cook non meat for me either.
All in all, a fine very on plan day. I guess having to cook (and clean up by doing all thedishes) after my inlaw family is okay, haha.
You just gotta love those MILs, NOT! I so feel your pain. I have to say, it sounds like you handled it like a pro!! Way to go sticking on plan when you are in a stressful situation with people who stress you out and are non supportive.

So today I mixed half a choc pudding and half a cappuccino in 10oz of water and two scoops of instant coffee. I shook it all up over ice and poured it into my reusable Starbucks cup with a straw (looks like their iced coffee cups only reusable) and took it to my families to celebrate fathers day. Everyone was saying how delicious my drink looked and kept asking why I was cheating on my diet and drinking one of those high sugar coffee house drinks and they didn't believe me that it was Ideal Protein...and man it tasted so good.[/QUOTE]
I saw one of those cups and thought, how cool is that! What a cute story!
PITA...I bet it felt pretty great hearing your brother say you look half the size.
CALGARY...You look soooo amazing! Absolutely beautiful!
I was at my grandpa's today for dinner and my family was talking about my weight loss. My aunt said, "so, I'm guessing you've lost a little over 40 lbs. or more?" I was so excited to tell her, nope, 34! Love the way this plan doesn't make us look saggy and baggy and we look like we've lost more at times. Of course, my friends, I can tell you, it helps when our clothes fit us right. Since I got my correctly fitting clothes, the compliments have been pouring in, so any of you who are down about not hearing anything yet, splurge on an outfit that fits and wear the heck out of it, it'll be worth it! And might I add, I love jeans with butt pockets, it just seems to give that extra little boost! TMI??? Sorry!!
Thanks everyone for the support and encouragement. I wouldn't be this far along without all of you and I just feel like I have such good friends on here and I've never met you all.
