Huge victory for me last night. My partner was out playing floor hockey (the best Solstice gift I have given *ever* complete with new sneakers, indoor hockey stick and new shorts). My oldest was refusing to go asleep. I had so much to do. Dishes, tidying (we were out skating until bedtime, so the usual [...]

Skating disaster leads to chocolate indulgence

I am not one of those parents who tries to live vicariously through their children. I confess, I don’t dream of them being amazing at baseball, or curing cancer, or winning a peace prize. I want them to be happy, well rounded people who are strong, and confident in themselves. I want them to be [...]
Freakin’ Lapses…

I have had a brutal week or two. I can’t seem to get my head out of my butt. I have been eating everything that isn’t tied down. I have even planned and had some binges. I battled the urge to purge for an hour on Friday, finally it passed when my partner came home [...]
Will it ever end?

Emotional Eating. It just comes back to bite me in the butt every time. I have been able to conquer so much, learn so much, become so much “better” at my eating and activity. But when the stress comes, when the kids are sick, when I feel lonely – I long to eat. Trouble is [...]
HALT!

So the theory goes that we eat when we are: Hungry Angry Lonely Tired I’m regularly all 4. I continue to struggle with my eating. Stress levels are higher than I’d like, but I’m trying. I’m hoping that this is PMS, and that I’ll feel better soon. But I’m finding the wait hard. My grandmother [...]
An Exceptional Week
Posted in binge, children, emotional eating, parenting on March 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This past week or so was exceptional. Way out of the ordinary. Way different than my normal. How I have struggled. The exhaustion of little sleep and carrying sick little people around was just terrible. We have been pox free for almost a week now, and I’m still only feeling about half back to myself. [...]
Shame

I found a bag of frozen chocolate candy. I thought I could handle a “taste”. I was wrong – I ate a few. I have just thrown the rest in the garbage bin outside underneath other garbage. Reminds me of when I used to toss food, then put coffee grinds on top of it so [...]
Stuffed

Oh – my tummy is sore. I ate way too much tonight. The good news is that it was just 1/2 a dinner then some bread (I cut back on dinner to have some fresh homemade bread, yum yum). However, I planned to have 2 pieces. I had 4. And a bite. The very good [...]
Prevention is better than a cure

I prevented a binge. Baking is something I love to do – but the temptation of the batter is something that I struggle with. Most things, I handle well, I have a plan for cookies, bread, brownies, whatever. But last week was cake week – I had to make a birthday cake for my partner. [...]
