Hi Everyone! Well once again it is Wednesday. The middle of the week. How is everyone doing? I could be better but I am going to start over again.

It is funny that when you have a lot on your plate in life you have a lot on your plate in food!

I am just glad I have a place to vent about it.

Well here is to new beginnings. Hope today is a better day Your Pal Penny

Penny you are right. I have a lot on my plate right now and I noticed that I was overly hungry today to. I did control myself but I didn't want to. It was very hard to. I did break down and have the saltines w/ peanutbutter. Didn't need those but it could have been worse I think. The sub I had today the chicken parm was only a 1/2 of one. So I did great there. I split it with my dad at work today.
You can do this girl. We have to remember and that includes me. That we can do what we set our minds to. Life is always going to throw us a curve ball. We will always have a lot going on in our lives since we have kids and husbands and family around. We have to remember to take time out for us. We are very important and we should be number one in this world. Just think what life would be like if we weren't in the picture. A lot of people depend on us for a lot of things and we need to be there for them because we want to and in some cases because it is our responsibility. If we are not at our best or at least happy with ourselves what good do we do anyone else? NONE! So remember in all of this that you are a person and you have needs just like everyone that you are caring for. Let your husband take over after work so that you can steal some time for you. Are you still going to the gym like you were? Maybe he would be willing to watch the kids so you can go after dinner or something. I know you used to enjoy that. You will figure it out. It is hard with 3 kids but they are always going to be there so you need to work around that. We are always there for everyone else but ourselves and sometimes we need the attention more and we are starving for it. So give yourself what it needs most. Down time for you.
You can do this. Just think where you got before you got pregnant. It took a lot of work but mostly in the end it just came naturally. That is good that you can't have a lot of the bad things with andrew. It should help you to stay eating healthy. Remember there is a reason for everything in this world. Use it towards your advantage girl.
Now get back on that horse and ride tall. You are going to win this battle and so aren't I.
