OK, so maybe I don't hate all fruit but I've probably gone a year at a time without eating a piece of fresh fruit. If my 3-year-old didn't love it, I would probably still forget to eat any.

Taking It Seriously...

I have been having a hard time taking my diet seriously this year.  All those extra calories nursing the baby has been burning have left me thinking I can eat whatever I want.  As of this week, I officially gained back all 6 pounds I managed to lose this year. I have managed to keep off the 40 pounds I had lost up to the end of last year though.  I tend to think that my eating habits are a lot better than before I started on my journey, but clearly they have room for improvement.

I think I have probably slipped back into a little bit of depression.  Al has had a rough cycle at work and I haven’t been getting out of the house much.  I probably need to call my girlfriends and make some playdates!

Meanwhile, I’ve already completely blown through my points for the week, and I have no desire to stifle this craving for the ice cream in the freezer that’s calling my name.  Why is it in there to start with?  Never go grocery shopping when you are hungry and just because something is on a good sale doesn’t mean you should buy it. :P

  2. I would say the best way to cheer yourself up is a road trip to see friends graduate on Saturday but I would really hate to tempt you with the yummy cake we will be serving...
    Hugs to you and I am proud of you for all the hard work you put into your dieting and eating changes. Dont let a little run of bad make it worse!
    Wish We could move back to Manhappiness so that I could take you out in the sunshine :)

  3. Weaning can be rough on the energy and emotions too. I'll be praying for you and if there's anything else I can do LMK.

  4. Welcome back. Congratulate yourself that at least you didn't gain back any of last year's loss. Sounds like you're getting back on track.
