It's 7am and my mother is on my mind as she should be, however my thoughts are not good. I am thinking she should quit the WW program let me explain why I feel this way. I picked my mother up and we went to the WW meeting. As we were approaching the scale she said I am bloated and I know I did not lose any weight excuses were all over the place they were piling on and I understood each and everyone of them. But I was not ready for what happen next my mother went from 217lbs to 221lbs that was a gain of 4lbs in one week.
What is this cha cha slide back my mother is doing did I lay it on to thick telling her that she lose weight last week. I am proud of her!! If you read the blog last week you will know that my mother has gone through it emotionally and giving her tools to lose weight without a program was working. But as soon as she became accountable to someone/something she felt the need to cheat or give into the things she use to resist. And maybe she was bloat and that was water weight.But see how easy it is to gain 4lbs in one week.
I did not jump on her either because I understood where she was coming from and that she has the determination to renew her vows to her self and get back on the wagon. However, I also know the dangers of weight gain it will creep up on you and tap you on the shoulder and believe me by that time you realize it your fighting the good fight again.
So I am not going to tell me mother that she should quit for now, but if she continues to gain I will need to have a chat with her just to remind her of the struggles she had and that weight loss was not one of them and she strived very hard under pressure to keep the weight down. What I also noticed is when someone gave me complaints I got so relaxed I thought eating a little of this and a little of that would never affect me. Guess again I went from 250lbs to 198lbs then back to 250lb and then 253lbs who the hell am I kidding ... So now that I am apart of the WW I am feeling like a turtle losing one pound a week. But one plus one is two and 1.4lbs equal 3.4 lbs later I am 250lbs and still losing.

Aww :( We have all been there. She just has to want it for herself and be doing it for herself. I really think that your mentality about it is more than half the battle!

Need to get me back.....My mother wants it but there is so much standing in the way of sucess and sometimes it is just life itself. And I agree with you the mind is the first place to start if you can get the mind to agree with the body the progress or victories are to follow you know. Thanks for the comment....
