Okay, this morning I weighed in and believe it or not, I have lost 8 lbs since I have been here. Now 8 might not seem a lot, but considering I have been here 3 1/2 weeks, that is a good loss. So it really got me to thinking about staying on track and not eating a lot, yet still having to feed my mother who does need to eat and gain her strength back and gain some weight.
At dinner I told her she needed to think of what she would want to eat when I am trying to only eat a salad or even a smoothie sometimes for dinner. Last night I made an omelet with veggies in it and a little cheese and it kept me full which is one reason I like eggs a lot. So I plan on having eggs a couple of times a week, and while I like that, I know Mom is going to get bored with it.
I still plan on having regular dinners 2 or 3 times a week, chicken and veggies or sweet potato, etc, but the other times I want to eat/drink lightly. Mom was agreeable to it and is thinking of different things she could eat when I don't cook, and then I won't feel guilty about just having a salad or whatever while she is having what she likes.
So a plan has been worked out.
