Week 2 Weigh-In
08-25-08
Well, Week 2 wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. I tried to be good, but it’s hard, when nobody in your family is eating healthy. 2 days in a row now, we’ve had Mac & Cheese. Then Chinese, then Pizza. It’s really getting me down, because I need to save 1400 calories for dinner alone around here! I’m going to keep TRYING to lose the weight, but if my parents don’t start getting supportive, It’s going to be hard.

Not as bad as it could have been, but it could have been a LOT better.
Do your parents have a weight issue as well? I grew up in a house where both of my parents were on the large size (though they’ve change in the last few years and it has been a blessing). My wife’s parents were both very overweight as well. It’s very hard to try to eat healthy in an environment like that.
