The bad things have been allowed back into the house and I'm finding myself really really stretched to avoid them. I'm not quite completely out of control but its a near thing. Frosted flakes are not a food group and I've gone through almost a whole box in 3 days. I baked gluten free oatmeal cookies and they're almost gone over the past 4 days. Gluten free pizza isn't bad and I only had one piece but it didn't satisfy and I ended up eating again a couple hours later. Guacamole is great but not the bag of chips.
My only saving grace has been the exercise I've been getting, mainly yard work and walking. I'm back up 3 lbs, and its a lot better than 5, or 10, but I feel as bad as if I'd regained it all. The thing thats driving me nuts is that I still have good things in the fridge. There is a whole container of spinach in there that is starting to go bad, I spent the time to cut up a whole thing of celery, the cherry tomatoes are on the counter in easy reach with the pistachios next to them. So why am I making these poor choices?!?
Stress from money being tight is one factor. Haven't had an interview in 2 weeks even though I've sent out countless resumes and even hit up the local Texaco station. Its got to be something that God is making me wait for but patience has never been my strong suit. I'm really enjoying the time with my daughter and honestly, I'd be ok as a SAHM until school starts for both of us in September if I could afford it. Just living off of the system isn't working for me though.
Speaking of the small child, she is begging to be pushed on the new swingset out back. Will check back soon.
