Feeling Better

My last post was a little intense because I was terribly frustrated. Sorry about that. I took Friday off and went on a field trip with my youngest to a local water park. We made family trip of it and one of my best girlfriends was there, too. It was nice to sit back by the pool and soak up some rays while talking about old times. We all had a great time and it was good for us to get out like that.

Today started off rough because my oldest had a serious attitude this morning. Of course, that caused hubby and I to argue, which is never good. We talked it all out and came up with some great "battle" plans to deal with the boys. We had a family meeting this afternoon, informing the boys of the new rules and procedures, and then we printed them out and posted them on the fridge. No reason for them to say they don't know what's going on.

I've been doing pretty well with my food considering all the crap I've been dealing with the past few days. I'm eating "normal" foods but I'm just paying more attention to how much I'm eating. I've started using smaller plates so that it looks like I'm eating the same size portions as before when I'm really not. It's amazing how we can knowingly trick ourselves into thinking and feeling different, isn't it?

Time for me to get going now. It's getting late and I've got quite a bit to do tomorrow and I need my rest. Have a great night!
