KayBuckaroo's Journal, 07 September 2018

Done with work, and it’s the dreaded pick up time from school. I saved my bbq chicken breast to eat right before I left the shipyard, so I’m not ravenous right now. Fresh out of junk foods at the house, only fresh veggies and fresh fruit. I’m planning my salad in my head, and I’m even going straight to the grocery store for my calorie free dressing. It’s mostly vinegar. I got overtime that I signed up for tomorrow and Sunday, that’s going to help get me back on track too.

My weight shot up like 7 pounds, and I’m horrified by this. It’s the first time I’ve had a big gain in a very long time. Months. Is it weird that I want to go get fast food? To just say, screw it! But, I’m not going to. I just hate this period of repentance. I hate the cravings all loud and obnoxious. I hate that my new little shorts will barely button. I hate that I just put myself back one month, maybe 2!😤

As a self admitted impatient person, hooked on immediate gratification, this is such a difficult situation. I’ve got some soul searching to do. To remember my “why.” And I’ve got to start exercising again, not just assuming work has done enough for me.

What is happening is my 5 year old is hijacking my feelings, and I’m willingly allowing it. His bad behavior is determining my mood and my reactions. Because he’s naughty- absolutely awful at times- and therefore embarrasses me, I hide my feelings and then I hide myself. To eat. Alone. In front of the tv. Under a blanket.

If that’s not just a stones throw away from ED behavior, idk what is. So, first thing is I have to get out of the habit of immediately going home to immediately eat. How’s about I replace eat with hydration?

Next. I used to prioritize getting the carcinogenic paint off my bare skin. Wouldn’t that be a good idea?

Lastly. The days of grabbing crackers, chocolate bars, marshmallows, etc and heading to my recliner are GONE. I’ve got a big yard: remember, outside? 🙄 And just because Matthew is grounded to his room does not mean that have to punish myself.

I’m about to get him from school. Wish me luck. Then, it’s the grocery store for ONE THING.

Awesome! I had 3. Tiny apples. And now it’s time for carrots, with mustard

I feel your pain about working sat and Sun I'm in the same boat. you should invest in a lockable container for your crackers and chocolate. having to get a key out is adding another step where you can say to yourself, what do I want more the instant gratification of this bit of sugar and fat or those bloody shorts to button up.

Been there done that. Definitely know the science behind locking my food, but that’s rather institutional and I want to be able to live with normalcy

I remember my little naughty boy he is now a respectable, hard working, thoughtful human being and a 31 year old man. Where did the time go. Here is a thought for you to consider. How about if you catch your naughty boy being good and tell him that if he has a good day at school you will spend some time with him in your back yard right after school, it keeps you away from the snacks and he gets time with his fun Mommie. Good Luck!

And I definitely want those shorts to button up! I’m probably just not gonna have it in the House tbh

If it's not in the house then it's not an option 👌

the weight is mostly water gain and you will quickly lose it if you eat correctly for you. the bloat is temporary as you know. try to relax and unstress as you plan. that is the best medicine for you.

Little red fox! Yes yes yes!!! I focused on the good he did today and we’re having blueberries and watching Jurassic World. In bed. Tomorrow is gonna be good to get outside while Daddy grills. Rainy today.

Baskington I truly hope so. It’s that magical time of the month and I’m feeling huge 😦

Yesterday I had cake AND ice cream. Granted yesterday was my official monthly cheat day but no excuse to go overboard. Okay, we both know we messed up. Soooo, we are human. Back on the horse again.

7 pounds... pretty sure that goes along with the pms and stress and not a real gain. It would take you a couple weeks of high calorie days to gain 7# of fat I would think. Probably months (I gained 10# in 7 mo). Hope the young man was better for you today! I find that when I ground the kids I’m grounding myself too. That can be a good thing. Give yourself a time out and if anyone asks tell them you are thinking about your recent behavior and finding better ways of handling it. If they are upset you can tell them they can see ‘bitchy Kay’ instead of they’d rather lol. Works for me...sometimes. Hope you had a good evening!

5 year olds are naughty - as are all other age groups of children - and most adults. It's sometimes just because it works. They get lots of attention of teachers and the like if they're naughty and ignored - sort of - when they behave.

Mini, so true. I always try to shower him with praise.
