Question: When the heck did my mother get in my mirror!.!.!?

It seems every day I look in the mirror I start to see my mother!. And I am not really meaning the way she was personally, for the most part she was as screwed up as the rest of the mothers I know, She had brains and could figure out all most anything and to this day I have yet to met someone that could cook as good as she could,!.

I am seeing this in me!.!.!.!.!.!. OH MY GOD!.!.!.!.!.HELP!!!!!!

your mother has always been in that mirror looking back at you from the times when she was smokin hot to not so smokin hot!.!. we all know we got 50% from mom and 50% from dad!.!. if you feel like you are seeing her reflection in you as far as getting fatter then that's not so hard to fix!.!. just start yourself on a 30 minute exercise each day whether it be crunches, squats, lunges or whatever(remember to stretch really good) maybe even an early morning walk for 15 min each day!.!.(you know we both are night auditors so we are up in the morning)!.!. but start slowly with reps of 2 meaning do 10-15 of each, two times!.!. as far as drinking nothing but water after 3 p!.m!.!. don't do that!.!. i mean put a healthy meal with that water!.!. with water only, you'll feel so hungry and miserable and that would cause you to eat things that you don't need to!.!. so what is the deal with the pepsi's!?(or was it coke) i remember the last time you said you have to have it!.!. cut those down to at least just 1 a day just to get your pepsi crave out of the way, but after that drink plenty of water or some juice!.!. it's nothing wrong with eating the foods we love and that we grew up on (seeing that you said your mother could really cook, in the south we call that "she stuck her foot in it") it's just that we have to prepare smaller proportions and not overindulge ourselves!.!. wish you the best of luck with whatever your goals are!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nooo!.!.!.
Just know your foods, and what is going into you!. For example bacon, mash potatoes and a salad, gives you eneryg carbs, protein and nutrients!. Quite straight forward!. Try to mantain this is every meal, instead of having half as much carbs and more protein for example!. Drink plenty of water instead of the pop and go for a jog!. Try to eat 3 meals a day!.
Good luck, you'll be fine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You got a DNA of the mixture of your mom and dad!. You would look like a mixture of your mom and dad!.

It is natural to be fat!. That is time to look for other interest instead of playing around with boys!.

Balanced diet would help you: one portion of starch (rice, wheat, potatoes etc) plus two portion of meat (or protein) plus three portion of vegetable!. No more wine, coffee, coca, soft drink and smoke!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Mothers have a way with us daughters! They DO have a tendency to creep in quietly, very quietly, if we aren't careful!.

Thank God my mom is still in shape (outwardly) and very pretty/graceful (even though she is seriously ill)!. So I can relax!.

But YOU, Baby! Watch where you going!. Those Genes are out to get you!. So Be very Cautious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Most of us 'turn into' our Mothers or Fathers to
some extent!. - It's both genetics and upbringing!.
The best we can do is strive to be a 'New Improved' version!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
