Thursday and ramblings
So it's 2:30 a.m. Thursday morning. My Mom had a doctors appointment yesterday morning and she has another one in 2 weeks to get a mammogram. The mammogram usually goes straight to a tech to see if it needs to be looked at by a doctor, but hers will be going straight to the doctor bypassing the tech altogether. I don't know how I feel about that, it makes me think something bad is wrong with her and they already know it or at least suspect it. Also, she's lost 11 pounds. I don't know if it's because she's subconsciously trying to lose weight because of me or if it's because she is sick. I do know that for the past month or two she eats and 15 minutes later she's trying to hurry and get to the bathroom. Her food goes straight through her. I'm just worried about all that adding up to breast cancer. But before I freak out, I'm just gonna try and not worry too much and see what her tests say. I'll keep you posted.
So I've done really good this past week, even with a whipped cream icing birthday cake in the house that just tastes Divine with a capitol "D". I had a tiny piece today, about the size of a peanut butter cup, so I didn't do so bad. I'm gonna have to either make everyone hurry up and finish it off - or freeze it. I can only stand temptation for so long, and I can only show good judgment for so long as well. I know where this could be headed if I don't take action now. One of three things are gonna happen tomorrow: 1- they eat the rest of the cake- 2- I throw the cake away- or 3- I freeze the cake in the chest freezer. (I don't eat things like that once it's been frozen, I'm really funny about things like that, so it would be safe from me thawing it out and eating it 2 weeks from now. Because that's something I simply would not do. Yuck...
I'm taking my MIL & SIL to Sams today. They always wanna eat a slice of pizza when we go, and the slices of Sams pizza are so HUGE!!!! I think I'll get a piece but cut it in half and give it to my son. Onetime my son who's 14 ate 2 HUGE slices of pizza and a really big cinnamon pretzel and a large Coke in one sitting. So I'm sure he'll be able to eat his full size slice and the other half of mine. He's tall and skinny and he's just like my husband, they can consume about 4,000 calories PER DAY and stay the same weight. They must have a great metabolism or something. My son and hubby are so skinny, it makes me wonder why scientists can't study people like them and figure out what they have inside their bodies that we don't. I just think that if they did a study about people who can eat whatever they want and as much as they want and never get fat they'd eventually open up the door to obesity and figure out why one person can eat a 4 oz. piece of cake and stay the same weight and another can eat the same 4 oz. piece of cake and gain 2 pounds.
I still have this idea where they should & could come up with a nasal spray that you spray up your nose and it makes you able to not smell anything for about 2 hours at a time, no matter how strong the scent is you just couldn't smell it. Just think, you could walk by a bakery baking fresh bread and not smell it. I've actually smelled food in the mall food court before and instantly became so hungry I thought I was starving, when just 5 minutes before I wasn't even thinking about food. So smell of course has a huge impact on a persons brain when it comes to food and the level of how hungry you are OR the level of how hungry your BRAIN is making you think you are...
Here's another idea- make a mouth spray that you spray like a sore throat medicine and it makes you not taste anything at all for let's say 2 hours at a time.. OR it could make all the food you try to eat taste really horrible like it's spoiled or rotten. I bet either one of those products would help people on their battle with weight loss. I know I'd certainly try both products if they were ever to come out on the market. That would be a great thing to have in case of a last minute dinner party and you don't wont to blow your diet, you could either use the nose spray and not smell the food and everyone knows if you can't smell it you wont be able to taste it. Or you might wanna use the mouth spray, which would make all the foods taste like they are spoiled OR it would have no taste at all and so you only eat a bite of this and a bite of that. That would rock! Oh well, I'll keep hoping, dreaming and wishing for science to get on the ball and do something great like that.
Besides my hopes and dreams of science I've got nothing else to talk about. 
I've got a busy day ahead of me. I hope that you are all doing great and using today to get closer to your goal!!!!
I'm off to catch up on blogs and to see who's updated while my laundry finishes and then I'm off to bed.
