Eating 4 Cookies does not Equal a Vacation from My Children

...a short rant..

I think I have gone over this before. Why does my brain think stuffing myself with comfort food will make me feel better.
My kids are great. I love them. They are so fun and funny. But my hubby has been so busy lately it has all been on me. Not complaining. Two
of those days he was building our new fence all day in 100 degree weather while I was inside the air conditioning. So totally not complaining. But I hear the words,"I need a vacation" run through my head as I shove a cookie in my mouth.
So now as my 4 year old pretends she is a dog eating her spaghetti with her face in the bowl and my two year old, snot dripping from the nose, laughs hysterically every time I tell her not to do something, I feel worse because I overdosed on cookies. I need a vacation. Not to Hawaii. Just to somewhere by myself for like 2 hours.

My Food and Weight Issues Background

I am writing this blog because there was a time in my life when I was completely out of control with food and I was very deeply in shame because of it. I didn't feel there was a lot of information out there that I could relate with or that could help me. Since then I have done a lot of healing and have come a very long way. I still struggle but it is not the same way that I used to. Through out my blog I will be speaking from personal experience about my battle with weight and with food issues like binge or compulsive eating. I am not a nutritionist, a psychologist nor am I a physical trainer. Everything I speak about is from my own personal experience. I do believe it could help someone and that is why I write it. But please, if you plan to lose weight or start exercising - see a doctor and then come join me on this journey!

40 days More than a Diet Challenge

Are you ready for a challenge? Saying you are going to eat certain foods or abstain from others is one thing - but how about getting to the root of your food issues that have caused weight gain? Would you like to stop obsessing about your weight and actually do something about it? What if you could actually eat normal - eat in moderation and enjoy food.

The focus of my blog will be learning together to not allow food to have control over you. I hope you will come along with me on this journey. We will focus on our big and small victories and successes and we will learn from our mistakes. Don't expect to be perfect, but don't give up when you mess up. You can do this - you are worth it!
