Tonite is the end of two very stressful days. My computer at work DIED. Motherboard burned out. I’m filling in for the secretary of my stepdad’s company along with doing my regular jobs. Surprise, Sean has minimum days this week, he gets out of school before all the other kids, so I have to go pick him up instead of having the bus drop him home because no one would be there. Then today he had an asthma attack at school. I got a letter that a bunch of my paperwork needed for childcare expenses apparently wasn’t received and its in danger of being cancelled. I could go on and on and on.
Normally, this would be the time that I would throw my hands up in the air and head for the nearest drive thru, for a big burger and fries to help get me thru the day. After all, dealing with all this stress, I “deserved” it, right? Well, yesterday I had a different thought, one that surprised me. With all that’s happening, all this stress, what I deserve is to eat healthy! I need nutrients to fuel my mind and body, not fast food, fat and empty calories to weigh me down and make it even harder for me to cope!!
This is such a huge break-through for me! And you know what, by the end of the day today, everything was under control and looking up. And the best part, I made smart food choices, so I feel good about them too! I am so proud of myself, not something I say very often!
And I got my water in today! Yay me!!
