Ugrh, mothers! They are the worst when you try to lose weight! Or mine is for sure. I have to face temptations all day everyday and even now at the very beginning of my weight loss journey!
We are redecorating our condo and she tries to be the best and sweetest "boss" for the guys who paint the walls and do the new floors. She cooks for them every day, she buys them cookies every day and today she baked a cake!
They of course try to be polite so they eat like one or two pieces out of like a hundred. And the rest? Well, it sits right in front of me. Again, all day every day. It smells great, looks even better and I just keep remembering how great it feels to eat it...
And not only the goodies, but also regular lunch - today was a tripple wrapped chicken breasts (egg, flour, breadcrumbs) with mashed potatoes (with milk and fried onions). It smelled so amazing! And then the cake, raisins, apples, nuts, with a tick layer of chocolate glaze. I mean... how am I supposted to lose weight in this enviroment? :'(
I didn't have any of it... yet. But I can feel every day, little by little, how my willpower is getting weaker and weaker. I have to hold on until the end of the week, I hope my parents will leave on Sunday and then I won't have to face so much temptations, because it kills me fast.
On the (smallest) bright side - this morning the scale moved! Well, kinda, only .2 pounds, but I was really frustrated to be 4 days on the same exact number, so I was really glad to see 204 lbs instead of 204.2 lbs.
Guys, please, keep your fingers crossed for me, I really need all the strengh I can get from you to resist the food in my home!
