WW: +.8 (-48.2)

Well, not surprised, consider how I've been eating this week. Any of you want to help smack some sense into my father, who's trying to micromanage my eating?

Firefly! Firefly! Firefly!

Sadly, this does not mean that I got a ticket to an advanced screening (as much as I wish). I got my Firefly dvds today!

I know the feeling. Hey, I had assorted body parts literally cut off and STILL gained weight for two or three weeks post-surgery. *sigh*

.8 could be anything. (I think I've said that before, too.) It might have to do with something you ate (or a couple of somethings) or it could just be a little too much salt with supper. It could even be that you exercised especially hard the day before a weigh-in. Hard exercise (or a new routine) will cause the muscles to swell a bit -- and that means a few ounces of water will be retained. And THAT means a false gain at the scales the next day.

I have no good hints for your Dad. When people try to get in my business with my food plan (or what I might have on my plate at that moment) I tend to get snippy, I'm afraid. "Do you remember what I looked like a year ago? Do I look like that now? No? Good. Then let me make my own choices because I DO know what I'm doing." Does it help? Not always. Sometimes.

I think you're doing great!

Yeah, I know .8 could be anything. And I think the most frustrating thing is that normally when I gain, my dad, mom, and grammy are like, "what'd you do this week?" and my response is "I don't know! If I did, I would've fixed it!" which is true. And this week I knew what I did wrong and I plan on fixing it and it seems like they don't believe me. It's not like I was crying wolf before by knowing what I was doing wrong but not doing it or something.

Thanks!

And I hope you don't mind me asking this, but do you know anything about the protocol for dogtags when someone who's retired/honorably discharged dies? Is it up to the person do dispose of his dogtags as he desires or are they buried with him?

Sometimes, it's hardest for our families to realize that we *do* know what we're doing. Jim and my Aunt Nelle both second-guess me till I want to fling nuclear weaponry. Often the only thing that keeps me from flinging said weaponry is realizing that they only do it because they love me BUT that they simply don't trust me not to gain 572 pounds next weekend. *sigh*

I think (though I'm not 100% sure) that the dogtags are disposed of as the person wishes. They can be buried with him/her but don't have to be.

Yeah, I think that's my family's problem too. And it's like, "Dude. I've worked *way* too hard to get this far, I'm so not going to just throw it away."

Thanks. I figured that you might know, since you come from a military family. Inquiring mind wanted to know for a fanfic. :-D
