UGH!!! I have that whole I want to eat everything in sight thing going on right now. I thought I could make it manageable by limiting myself to things like veggies, fruits, yogurt, oatmeal,... I think healthy things just intensified my desire to eat my weight in chocolate. GAH! Tomorrow I will come up with a new plan.. that includes alot of protein. It may be an entire side of beef but it will be a better plan. Until then.. I'm eyeballing post its because they're reminding me of banana flavored laughy taffy. I can't decide which is worse.. the desire to eat everything I can or the desire to not spend money doing it. I wonder if the two are connected? I told myself I wasn't going to spend any money this week and instead was going to bring food with me. Result?? I ate a weeks worth of "snacks" in 1 day.
The only saving grace to any of this is magic boobs. If I did the math right I'm burning at least an extra 600 calories just by being the owner of magic boobs. Now I just have to wire my mouth shut.. *smacking head* Oh and I need to restart my 30 day challenge.. because I forgot for 2 days in a row. Does this indicate commitment issues? I'd like to think it indicates commitment issues and not a lack of brain cells. I'd wake up on the couch at 3 am and think.. "Pfft.. yeah right squat this." Then stumble my way back to bed. So technically.. that's commitment. Or its part of having small children and a husband who thinks he's dying when he gets a small cold.
Speaking of dying.. This is going to make me sound like a cold slightly unhinged mother but... well you don't know me so I can sound like a slightly unhinged mother. I couldn't exactly say what I thought to the school nurse. My 10 yr old got elbowed in the face during gym today. She could have a black eye.. although 5 hours later it still wasn't a black eye so I doubt it.
Nurse: I was just calling to tell you your daughter was injured today in gym class. There is a little bit of a dispute between your daughter and the other student but she was either elbowed in the eye or she was hit in the face by the students shoulder.
Me: *thinking ok.. shoulder.. whose going to know better? the kid with the eye or the kid with the shoulder?" Ok.
Nurse: We were wondering if it's possible for someone to get your daughter. She seems fine. She isn't showing any signs of a concussion but if she starts to show *blank blank blank* you should take her to the drs. (I stopped listening. I'm still trying to figure out where a hit to the face in gym that doesn't require medical attention equals a free trip home.)
Me: So... she's fine and she doesn't show any signs she needs to go to the ER?
Nurse: No... but it probably hurts.
Uh huh... So I call the husband. "Hey honey? Can you go pick up the preteen? She smacked her face on some kid."
Husband: "Huh????"
Me: Preteen smacked her face on a kid in gym class. The school is sending her home.
Husband: Are you taking her to the doctors?
Me: Nope.. apparently it probably hurts. School is sending her home. It wasn't my idea. *crickets* Tell her to use her good eye and clean her room.
This happened at 9am.. its now 4pm. According to the preteen she's near death. Her face hurts. She might get a black eye!! Oh and she tried to take an asprin but she almost died. She could have choked to death but it's ok she made it to the garbage can in time to spit the pill out. She isn't sure if she can go to school tomorrow. Now if the nurse had just told her to suck it up and stop being a baby I wouldn't have to listen to the preteen's description of dying for the 100th time in her fake I'm so sick voice tonight. I should sell tickets. The acting is a little over the top but the "Moooooooooooooom!"s are hilarious. I'm going to count my blessings my other two are boys. So far Little Man is a tank and Jason is being brought up with this tank giving him lovins.. I should be safe. I may not be able to make it to work tomorrow though.. I may sprain an eyeball attempting to not roll them.

Omg I love banana laffy taffy, I've never tried eating a post-it, but I can't imagine they are anything alike. Just remember when it comes to a preteen in a 3 act drama about her near death situation, YouTube is your friend. I promise the T thought of all her friends seeing that will be like magic.

LO?l, I needed to laugh today. Love these preteen drama things, sometimes. Reminds me of my daughters at that age, they do make it (my youngest is 34) they are going through the early teen drama with their kids, I tell them it's payback. I remember eating everything in sight when I was breast feeding but the docs were telling me to gain weight. No solutions from me, sorry.

Oh my .. NOW I can comment .. yep, teenage drama queens can definitely make one feel like the coldest hearted Mother in the world, can't they? Double if you're the stepmom (me). I'd like to tell you they grow out of it. Any day now for Blondie... any day.... yep... she's only 30fifteen but you'd swear she was only 30twelve as immature as she is with the slightest illness. I think Cutty encouraged it. When she was delivering the first gson he screeched 'Go get a Nurse .. she's in Pain!!!' and I strolled out of the room murmuring 'great... woman in labor complaining of pain.. I bet they never heard THAT one...' I told her not to have sex. It's her fault. Sorry... I got side tracked with the memory of teenage daughters.

I have two daughters, so I can sympathize. My oldest (27) cannot take pain and whenever she's sick, she always makes it worse. She's finally realizing that trips to the ER is going to cost her some big bucks, so lately she's been toughing it out. My youngest (25) once was complaining about her wrist hurting from (fun) fighting with her sister and my wife made her go to school (7th grade). The gym teacher sent her home because it hurt so much she couldn't play volleyball and we took her to the ER and found out she had a broken wrist. We still hear about that one.

Don't despair - I too have had episodes of where I eat a week's snack in one day. I know it is difficult with children but you need a 5 or 10 min break where you find a corner and sit there and breathe. It sounds like you might be restricting yourself too much in the eating department but we have to find a happy medium. Your decision to add protein is a good one as nutritionist advise you to add protein to your diet as well as fiber rich foods.
Hang in there - remember it is a lifestyle change and some days may be more challenging that others but don't dwell on the past - shake it off and pick up the pieces.
