A wee bit apprehensive.

[nwhiker]

So. My sister is headed down to Colorado for 3 weeks and my mom is coming to stay with me. Because of the prednisone she's been on, she's not cleared for travel.

I'm headed down to the Columbia crossing south of Yakima (about a three or so hour drive) to meet up with sis and BIL in their gigantic truck-RV combo and pick up my mom.

What I'm not looking forward to: having to keep snacks and sweets out for her to eat.

My mom has always been a big eater in general, but never a big breakfast eater. However, my sister has found that she does a lot better when she eats three meals a day so that's the goal. The best way to get her to eat? Leave out sweets/put out sweets, and she'll claim that no, she doesn't want them, and then eat them.

The problem? So will I.

This is going to be a difficult few weeks. I'm trying. It's so hard. I mean, I fight for weeks to lose few pounds, and one weekend of inattention -not gorging, mind you, just not paying attention- will bring them straight back, sigh.
