Its hard not to tell her, because she makes all the food in our house. My best strategy has always been to cut my food portions in half and substitute some veg or fruit in it instead. She got so mad at me tonight, I told her I'm gonna make some steamed veg and eat it before the main meal, the idea being that I'll be semi-full already and wont feel up to finishing the rest of the food. She's pouting. A grown woman of 51 years of age IS POUTING. and she's not talking to me either.

Well, she can pout all she wants to, I'm determined. I want to lose 7kgs. So far I have lost 2, so 5 to go still. I went to the dr today to have my thyroid tested again. Its under-active, so I'm hoping that if they can get the balance right that the weight loss will be easier. Here's to hoping. Hearing back from them tomorrow.

Let me find the one I used to use; it's from the US Dept of Agriculture *Kilroy rummages madly through the Internet* Hah! Here you go: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ It's good because you can put in different quantities.

Skyron, that makes it such a difficult situation but I think that I have to agree with Kilroy. Don't really tell her what you're doing and just go ahead and have some steamed veggies, and snack on fruit. It's awfully hard to watch your diet when someone else is doing the cooking, I know.
My guess is that she's feeling very badly about her own recent weight gain and therefore doesn't want you to lose weight either. It's kind of a twisted way of thinking, and maybe she doesn't even realize that she's doing it. Maybe you could start off with baby steps and suggest to your mom that y'all take a walk after dinner or something like that.
We will definitely be your cheering squad!

I have considered doing that Karen ! Only problem is I have started wearing dresses/skirts to work again. Not sure that would work too well ! I may, however, replace my chair at my computer at home with a fitness ball! Some of the suggestions in that article are interesting, but I can't see many offices going for it.

I have been known to fall off of fitness balls! But I do have one here at home and I use the ones at the gym to do crunches and squats. They really are a multi-function piece of equipment that you can have for very little money. With a fitness ball and some 10 lbs weights, it is amazing how many exercises you can do.

Skyron and anyone wanting to keep a "food Diary" www.sparkpeople.com is a free website where you can keep a food diary and it gives you the calorie, carb, fat and proteine count on whatever you enter. It gives you feedback at the end of the day. Has fitness modules, meal plans, and newsletters. It is helping me stay on a better tracks.
