Has any of this ever happend to you?
I go work out in the mornings to wake myself up, stay healthy, but mostly to get rid of the guilt I carry from yesterday's poor eating habits.
I come home and deal with stressful homework that I completly don't understand, try to get the house cleaned and keep a booger-nosed boy entertained. When it comes time for his snacks, fruit snacks that is, I indulge...twice. After all, my homework is stressful, so I deserve it.
Running errands goes crazy, and at the last minute I am asked to watch my neighbor's children, both of them not having one nap today. I try to focus on stressful homework and end up playing mediator to the fighting, hitting, crying kids. Deciding, once again, that I deserve it I allow Ben and Jerry to melt my stress away. Twice.
My sweet husband takes care of our more-whiney-than-usual child while I trod off to Barnes and Noble for some little R&R, which really isn't relaxing because I'm trying to wrap my brain around "The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui" and still, after 3 days, just don't get it. My lollypop agrees that I deserve it, so I give in.
Husband says, "do you need anything? A big bowl of ice cream perhaps?" (he obviously doesn't know about all of my indulgences today) and after thinking about how droopy the bags under my eyes are and how knotted the muscles are in my back, I say "yes dear" because I deserve it today. How sweet is he to think of me!
Tomorrow I will go to the gym to get rid of the heavy guilt I carry from today's poor eating habits.
I DESERVE IT.

Its a comfort to know that I'm not the only one in the throws of the vicious cycle. Thank goodness for gyms and for the "I deserve it" attitude, because when you really think about it, that is why the gym is there right? And hey, we're creating jobs and stimulating the economy by paying for a membership. We REALLY deserve it now, consider it a "bailout". Way to be patriotic girl!
Yes I completley understand!Is Isaac hitting or biting?? Or both like my child??
I can relate completely! (Although I don't have stressful homework and I don't go to the gym-so yesterday's bad eating habits just find their place on my body and stay there).
I love it! I am on the eat light high protein breakfast, tons of veggies and fruit lunch, sensible dinner and a pack of oreos for stress diet! Don't worry you are not along I come to think of it as motherhood and life in the 21st century!
My philosophy: eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow you die. Just do so in moderation-so don't feel bad because I'm pretty sure that chasing after children and the stress in and of itself makes up for it. That's what I keep telling myself! haha
Love this :) love you :) keep enjoying your indulgence1
You are funny! Sounds just like me about 6 months ago...I have successfully broken the VICIOUS cycle in my life but it takes super willpower every single day, not fun:) You do deserve it!
