My mom doesn't cook or shop so we would wait for my Dad to get home around 8 every night to have ANYTHING. When my sister finally started driving it was like freedom, we could go and get McDs or whatever we wanted.<BR/>I have been with my counselor for just over 5 years now and it really is a great thing. We talk about everything even though the purpose of me going is to discuss my eating problems. Some of my closest friends still don't understand why I need to see her but it really helps to sort things out that are going on in my head and be reminded that I am on the right track. You are on the right track too, you are living a healthy life and whether or not you believe me you are a good Mom.MMalloyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386002188542563122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069087084873863028.post-20210131974905566432007-08-15T01:27:00.000-07:002007-08-15T01:27:00.000-07:00I think it's great that you can be honest with you...I think it's great that you can be honest with yourself...

I...I hear what you're saying Steph and can relate. I was born and raised in the south where everything came fried with lard and lots of comfort foods were provided. <BR/><BR/>It was a huge adjustment for me to learn how to eat healthy and its always a constant battle not to fall back into the old habits we learned as a child.<BR/><BR/>You have come so far and have a lot to be proud of. I know you will work through anything placed before you because of how strong of an individual you are. You are an inspiration to me.

I felt the same way watching my watch the entire time, maybe it'll get better as we get used to it.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your spinning or whichever class you choose, sounds like fun!<BR/><BR/>I am trying hard to follow suit in how to assist in raising the kids with healthy eating habits. I do have to separate my diet food for a purely cost-conscious reason, but there is usually something just as yummy for them to eat (except for the middle one who is addicted to salad and tomatoes, she's becoming my accomplice in the veggie-eating world). Hope you had a great day.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865953013005021835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069087084873863028.post-58085493055981221302007-08-14T12:37:00.000-07:002007-08-14T12:37:00.000-07:00Just a word of warning on spinning...your arse wil...Just a word of warning on spinning...your arse will hurt. good news is that you get used to it...but be prepared for that.

I think it's a great idea. I came from the clean plate club and I never make my son clean his plate. Dh and I both don't want to do to our kids what our parents did to us.

With a little Heinz 57 and fat free sour cream - OMG!! Orgasmic - yeah orgasmic NOT organic!! You gotta try roasting them - seriously!!<BR/><BR/>Greta & Gurdy - thanks so much for commenting......I have my days when the food obsession becomes too much and I manage to have some kind of fantasy about cheetos or gravy!! Lately I have been craving breakfast from McDonalds but that is a no no for me.......more a matter of principal than anything - I was such a fast food junkie that I swore if I ever got the balls to quit eating it that I would never go back.....so far so good!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10635172141262602694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069087084873863028.post-73551787810473552902007-08-14T09:34:00.000-07:002007-08-14T09:34:00.000-07:00OMG....The following is an excerpt from Gret & Gur...OMG....The following is an excerpt from Gret & Gurdys post from today..OMG tooo funny. Reminds me of something you would do steph...LOL BTW she is talking about eating ALL her veggies each day...<BR/>"I also decided to take a walk over to the freezer section to see what I could find. And what did I spy? BRUSSEL SPROUTS! The girl who hates veggies actually likes brussel sprouts. Unfortunately for my office mates they smell like ass when they cook (bought some in a cool self-steamer bag, wicked!). I mixed some in with my mush of cottage cheese and mashed avocado. OMG its SO good. I know, I AM a freak. But damn, if I can get my veggies in this way I'm good.<BR/><BR/>Update- another person from our office just came in and said, "WHAT is that smell?". I said, "um, brussel sprouts". He said "oh good, I have a big meeting with consultants coming up in 15 and I thought the sewer was backing up". Ooops.<BR/>tee heee.<BR/><BR/>HAHAHA....I CAN SEE ALL YOUR PEEPS SITTING IN A MEETING WITH THOSE TURTLE HARD HATS ON WITH THE AROMA OF POOP IN THE AIR!!

Thanks for sharing. I know as a child I was allowed all the wrong foods and yes I did over eat to feel better and not one damn person in my family ever bought anything healthy for me. Yeah all I ever heard was "well if you lose weight I will buy you a WHOLE NEW WARDROBE" That was their bribe but it never worked. Needless to say I could not lose because I did not have the education in healthy eating nor was I the one buying and cooking the meals!<BR/>I try not to teach my kids all the bad habits I learned as a child. Like you I do not have the "clean plate policy" either at my house. I offer a HUGE varity of foods and only ask that my kids try something before they say they don't like it. I find if I include my kids in the meal planing and preperation they are more inclined to eat it...even if it is healthy foods!<BR/>Kudo's to you for stoping the cycle of abuse! I am so proud of you. Your going to make a wonderful mother one day!!<BR/><BR/>{{{{{HUGS}}}}}Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10569147026030724204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069087084873863028.post-59445099298877697232007-08-14T09:01:00.000-07:002007-08-14T09:01:00.000-07:00just wanted to say hey.....been reading your blog ...just wanted to say hey.....been reading your blog for a few weeks now and I love it and find myself here every day.
