My son and daughter-in-law will be here next week. My son has been dieting big time so he can go into the navy and he's done really well. He's gotten to his goal weight and even lost more. He exercises about 3-4 hours a day.

Now he wants to come up here and eat. He wants cake, meatloaf, chili, a snack night while be play board games, nachos from bingo and I'm afraid to find out what else. How am I going to control my eating with all this around?

I ended up eating about 4 pieces of that damn cake. I thought I would of had more control but I just don't.

Today I had a strawberry shake, a meal bar, 3 homemade tacos and was doing pretty well. Even almost got a whole liter of water in. Then hubby goes to work, and I was pissed at him, so I had left over Heath bits and chocolate chips so I ate those. Nothing is safe in this house!!! I'm on my third diet root beer and am still so thirsty due to my diabetes.

Thankfully tomorrow we'll be out making deliveries so I won't be home to sit here and eat and will be getting in some exercise.

Like I've said, I know so much of my problem is just plain old boredom, so I've started crocheting again making stuffed animals that I want to sell at the Farmer's market in town. Hopefully I'll be able to keep my food intake in check by getting more involved in something.
