I want to thank you all for your comments on my last post. I've been thinking a lot about it and it feels like a big load was lifted off my chest and I'm going a bit easier on myself. I'm trying to look at things as a healthy way to live versus "losing weight". We all say it, but do we honestly believe it? I know I've "said" it, but I have always had the "all or nothing" attitude and if I'm not going hardcore, then I'm failing. If I'm not working out 6x/wk and eating clean 24hrs 6x/wk, I feel like I'm not measuring up. To whom or to what, I haven't a clue. I've just had this idea in my head that if I'm not 100% on, I'm going backwards rather than forwards. I read about & see other people who ARE making all these things work. There are hard working mothers who make it look so easy. Why can't I? I want to be supermom too! LOL I just want to make it all happen but somedays I'm so worn out I just want to crash into bed.
I read a post from Skwigg that made me really put things into perspective. I read it, took a long, deep breath....and damn if I don't feel better and look at things differently. Tidbits

So right there with you on that one. All or nothing for me too. I'm trying really hard to take it easy and not be so hard on myself. I wonder how other Moms do it too. Skwigg is great, isn't she?
We ALL struggle with this one Melissa. Keep finding inspiration and be nice to yourself.
It will come together.

Good for you. I do the same thing sometimes and I have to stop and take a moment. There are supermoms out there but trust me they are not perfect either. It may look like it on the outside but they are just like the rest of us. Have a great week.
Hey Melissa, I know exactly what you're saying. I'm in a "no-diet" zone right now, to prevent binges and give myself a mental break. I read that same post from Skwigg and I love it!! She is a genius.
Glad to see you find some middle ground "sanity' on this darlin!
Hi Melissa! Thank you for posting the link to Skwigg's blog. Her post really resonated with me, especially the part about not dieting and to think like an athlete. I guess that's where I am right now, and hope to remain there for a very long time. Also, I think the key is consistency (not necessarily perfection) and the ability to forgive yourself when you fail and move past it.
Hang in there!
Thinking of you!
Have a good weekend.
I start to feel the same way and then don't post also. Plus being super busy and not finding time to get on the computer is usually another reason. Don't worry about whining once in a while, you're human.
Sounds like you're being sabotaged with chocolate. I don't know how to get around that. I had a little issue myself last night. I made these pb cookies (see my blog for recipe) and ate 3 in a row. Woops!
