I think I did pretty well. My mom has a whole home gym practically...a treadmill, an elliptical, a Total Gym, the bike attachment for the Total Gym, plus hand weights and a tv/dvd so you can do a video workout or whatever. I worked out 3 or 4 of the days I was there. I probably ate way too much, but I know I had way less sugar than I normally would have. Haven't gotten the chance to weigh myself since coming home because our scale needs a new battery.
I started out the week paying close attention to what I was eating and when I was full, etc. After a couple days I didn't really pay so much attention, I suppose that's easy to do on vacation though. Overall I'm not upset with myself about how I ate when I was there.
I did notice some things though that may have given me some insights into the way I am and how I think about myself. Most of them had to do with behaviors of my mother. Things that maybe I picked up suboconsciously, like never really wanting to get involved in anything. Not sure if it is a self-confidence issue with her, or if she thinks she's too fat. But she seems to sit on the sidelines of life and watch other people. Which is a lot like myself. She also seems to play the "victim" a lot. For example, she'll be having trouble with something (oh, the trash can for example, it could be anything)...after struggling for a bit she'll get all frustrated at my step-father like it's all his fault and he should have noticed and helped. Not sure yet how that could relate to me, still thinking on it.
