My Eyes are Bigger than my Stomach
In terms of what I can realistically expect of myself, what I can handle. My sense of that is so of it's not even funny. And then one day something clicks and I feel like I'm having some sort of meltdown all because I'm being stubborn. I'm stuck somewhere between working mom and stay at home mom because I work from home. If I hear one more person say "That a great Mom job." I will scream. It's not. I read parenting books and want to think about my parenting 24/7 but then I have to work and my brain needs to be somewhere else. And on it goes...
Then I see I've gained a pound. Then I don't really care what I eat for supper - calories, fat, etc. Just whatever. Who cares.
Then I wake up and say - something has to change.
Well - two things are going to change. I'm going to put my food back on the list by going back to JC and my super cool counselor and I'm changing our child care situation to make it fit our family. Big changes - but needed.

You are so right, it´s not a perfect situation. AT first it may sound like it, with you being home and there for your little man all the time, but on second thought, it is rough. I, by now, like the fact that my little guys, who are, admittedly, somewhat older, go to kindergarten during the day and I work from 8-4 and then go home. I am going to be working at home one day a week, but it will be quite the same - the kids go to daycare at 8 am and I work while they are out of the house. Makes it easier to seperate between personal and private life. So I definately think it will help you to get some help with the child care. You will be a lot less torn, too!!
Good luck!

Do...
Do what you have to do, to get where you are going.
If you aren't "selfish" and continue to put everyone's needs in front of yours, you will still be fighting this battle when you are my age. You, your family, your employer, your friends... everyone will benefit your being the best you can be.
Glad you've come up with a plan and are ready to move forward. = )

Changes...
Glad to see I'm not the only one who feels like they need some major changes. You've got to take care of yourself and what's best for you (like the others have said as well). I will say that you've given me idea on how to get back in the groove again for losing weight. Start checking in with my plan regularly again.
See Steph...you always share something that motivates or inspires me. Thanks for the blog!
