Really? Why not target areas if you want to create a certain silhouette?

Mainly get rid of my "turkey wings", "hamhock thighs" "muffin top tummy" and round out my "plateau" of a bum lol

Thanks you guys! I was just scared to do so because I have a lot of natural muscle mass but I don't want to look too bulky when I lose the fat

Grandfather is not helping and he has the POA. He is still trying to adhere to her wishes

Thank you so much, I just hope we don't have to do that.

Thank you for your support!

I completely understand, Mexican food is one of my absolute favorites. Especially with a good margarita and an extra shot!

Thanks I've never thought about a cookie cooler rack

If only my family were that simple lol

Thanks! I'm applying everywhere in town but no offers yet. Hopefully something will come into place for me.

Yes, but she goes in the fridge at night while everyone is asleep and throws food away.

Thanks everyone, you guys are awesome! Before I was feeling really weary about taking this journey alone but now I feel more encouraged.

I thought I was the only person that purposely exercised so I could eat that one little slice of pie lol

My family has a history of diverticulitis and red meat is one of the agitators so I am trying to prevent my chances of getting it.

No, she "supervises" lol. We have to watch her because she will add things to the food and sometimes throws it away or burns it.

No we basically do bacon, sausage, biscuits, pancakes, oatmeal, eggs, and grits. Lately I've been sticking to the oatmeal and grits with an apple on the side or a poached eggs with shredded cheese.

I know what you mean but when you have a grandmother with dementia that is possessive about her kitchen and gets violent you will learn to minimize your time in the kitchen lol. Most days I do my best to cook separately but it's becoming more and more of a battle the sicker she gets.

Well I am trying to take red meat and fried food out of my diet. I have already discontinued rice from my diet but I love bread and sweets so I am trying to wean myself off of them. However my family continues to request red meat, fried food, and sweets. They are on a fixed income so it is expensive to try and cook two…

I do all the cooking in the house, but we are from the south where everything is either smothered or fried and they refuse to eat it any other way lol

I actually do all the cooking right now because my grandparents are sick.
