I'm going to say other too. Generally my mother is a fantastic lady. I love her dearly and I consider her to be one of my best friends. But I guess because her weight is something she has struggled with her entire life, it's become something that she's kind of neurotic about now. I don't remember many times once I got to about 4th or 5th grade that she wasn't shouting out warnings to me about my weight. I didn't realize it until I was grown but I was actually UNDER weight by almost 10 lbs all through jr high and it was probably partly becaus of her. Here high school begins at the 10th grade, and that first year, I gained a little but not a lot. Just enough to put a little meat on my bones and put me in a more healthy weight. Then I developed chronic tendonitis in my hips my Junior year. Most of what kept me so thin all through the years is that I was a dancer on a competitive team. But when I started having problems with my hips I was taking an aerobics class to fulfill a Phys Ed requirement, and when I began complaining to the coach about the popping and the pain in my hips, she just decided that I was one of those snotty girls who thought she was too good for Phys Ed and was just trying to get out of it, and so instead of calling my mother, she made me go on with the class and gave no thought that there could be a bigger issue than a kid just wanting to get out of participating. If she had done something about it and called my mother, it probably would have been caught sooner, and it may not have gone chronic. But I was walking around like that for so long that any chance of it going away and not coming back was slim. Soon, I couldn't dance anymore and it was extremely painful just to walk from one class to another. It was difficult to do pretty much any type of workout, and I began to gain like crazy -- my mom sounding out warnings all the way, with me unable to do anything about it. I was 19 1/2 when I married Corey and I was 30 lbs over weight. In 4 1/2 years I had gained 55 lbs! As my wedding day approached my mom became annoying in her campaign for me to lose weight and I began to fight against pretty much anything she wanted me to do. When I finally joined WW three years later, she was thrilled, and in many ways she has been my biggest cheerleader after Corey. But sometimes I really wish she'd take cheering lessons from Corey, because he always seems to know the right way to encourage me when times get tough, he knows how to keep me going when things are going well, and he also seems to know when I'm in the type of mood where I just don't want to hear it and need him to just not say anything. One of my biggest faults is getting after me for eating a certain food. French fries are a good example. I love fries -- warm, slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and salty. Mmmm. She thinks I should not ever eat them. But I have tried weight loss plans that eliminate certain types of food or another, and they never work for me. I feel deprived on whatever food is on the list that I love and I begin craving it, and then because I can't have it, I overeat on other foods trying to recreate the same texture and flavor, etc. I had pretty much decided I was done with all weight loss plans before I joined WW for that reason. The thing that made me decide "just one more try" with Weight Watchers is when I went to a swim party with my dh's family and watched his aunt (who was a maintaining lifetime member of WW) eat a hot dog with all the trimmings along with chips and other stuff. I just sat there watching her, and then decided I needed to ask her about it. When she told me that there were no "no no" foods on Weight Watchers, and that it was simply a matter of tracking what you ate and doing so in moderation, I was sold. And I still feel the same way. I don't believe there is any such thing as a bad food. Certainly some foods are better than others, but none are bad. You just have to keep yourself in control and know that if you don't have enough points for those fries then promise yourself you will get a small order when you do have the points. And if you do have the points for them, don't go crazy and order the largest size just because you have 14 points available. Better to get the small size for 6 points so you can have the taste your craving and get on with your life, leaving ample points for other things throughout your day/week. But any time I ever order fries, which isn't often, I get the look, and the inevitable "Jayme, I really wouldn't eat those if it were me." It bugs the crap out of me. But, as I said, out of many good points about her this is her one fault, so I roll my eyes, pop a fry in my mouth and say "but it's not you, and I have the points for it."

Voted no support at home.


My DH isn't behind my efforts to get into better shape, and sometimes I think he even sabotages them.

I put other because I'm sick of those around me telling me I don't "need" to work out cause I'm thin enough already. HELLO! I workout to stay in shape and healthy....and just because I'm thinner than them does NOT make me "thin enough"! Everyone is different and I have gained 10 lbs in the past few years that I don't like having and will loose whether they feel I need to or not!


Thanks for the opportunity to vent ;-)

I said trying to eat healthy ALL the time, sometimes I really want a dish of icecream or a twix bar.. sometimes I actually do have one of the 'terrible' things I crave and then I don't think about it again for ages :)
