@SeriouslySta I am often shocked at how damaging remarks we make as parents can be. We love our children (as I am sure your mother loved you) but thoughtless remarks can have such a bad effect.

Very often, careless or throwaway comments from those you love most in the world are THE most damaging. My father was not one to hold back verbally and I can still remember the hurt and pain I felt the day he said to me that I had a double chin. I was 11 years old at the time. 3+ decades later, and I still haven't forgotten the comment, nor forgiven him for it. He probably forgot the comment five seconds after he said it.

I don't have a double chin any more.

My dad is still really unpleasant.

The only good thing about it was learning that I should carefully consider the effect on others of everything I say. I also learned how hurtful people can be. But, during my midwifery training, I was taught that it's okay to challenge other people, even when they are certain that they are right. I would certainly challenge my father now and sometimes do when I believe that he's being unreasonable or unfair. Mostly I try to avoid him as he's pretty toxic as a person and totally crap as a parent.

We don't have a good relationship.

But that's okay.

NSV for today:

I've managed to get out on the bike every day for the last 15 days. Through rain, wind, snow, cold, everything that Mother Nature has tried to deter me with.

And have been fortunate enough to see early signs that the world is ready to welcome the Spring again. Catkins, daffodils, primroses, tiny little shoots on the trees, bulbs pushing their way out of the earth. It's fabulous stuff, and I marvel every time I see it.

Resisted the free pizza in the break room at work tonight! A couple months ago I probably would have eaten two slices. Instead, I had the healthy dinner I packed for myself.

For the first time ever, I was able to do a deep lunge and touch my back knee to the ground

Non scale victory - a way of measuring your success which isn't dependant on the number on the bathroom scale.

My fiance ordered pizza last night and I resisted temptation and made something healthier for myself.

Had to stop at the store after work and was starving. Decided to get a bag of m&ms because I could fit them in my calories. Got to the checkout and they only had the sharing size bags (the size I usually get). Picked one up, looked at it for a second, and put it right back down. I felt I couldn't just eat half the bag and the whole thing would have thrown off my day. Came home and ate my planned dinner :-)

Just started my diet again last Monday, I already feel less sluggish. Yeah I know it's probably all in my head but it still feels nice.

I was able to take off my once too tight jeans without unbuttoning them.

I saw my Dr earlier this week and he's referred me to see a nutritionist and I start going next week. Pretty pumped about that.

You still have La Senza? I am jealous. They are not in my end of the world any more.

Out of town with my family, I ordered penne quattro formaggi at dinner at the hotel's restaurant, not knowing exactly how many calories it was worth. I only had some 700 cals left.
After eating half of the portion, I asked my husband, who is also dieting on MFP, if I should finish the pasta or not. He said go ahead, eat it, but I decided however not to. And I was thrilled I didi it and stayed under my calorie goal for almost 3 weeks now.
