Worry
I was reminded by a dear friend today of this:
"WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES; it takes away today’s PEACE"
This is SO true. I just have to remind myself of this.
Sooooooo today ended up being a bad eating day. But I've been doing really good, so I'm not going to be hard on myself at all. Today, I got a text from a lady who is like a second mother to me. She said she was coming over to play with the boys tonight....and expected me and my husband to go be alone for awhile, no matter what we do. We don't have a lot of people that we trust with Alex, our older son, so we rarely have a babysitter. We JUMPED at this opportunity. We ended up at Romano's Macaroni Grill. My meal honestly wasn't TOO bad. I had a grilled chicken breast cooked in olive oil and seasoned with fresh lemon juice. It was served with a side of pasta, which I ate about half of. Buuuuut I had some gelato for dessert. It was a pretty small serving and topped with some fresh strawberries but it was wonderful. I'm sure I'll pay for it on the scale tomorrow, but I'll just be good tomorrow to make up for it.
With all the stress lately, I was very thankful for her coming over. What's funny is that I hadn't even talked to her about everything. But she was over on Monday to cut Alex's hair, so I'm sure she sensed it then.
, we almost never go out for the same reason. I wish we could just have a typical teen-age neighbor watch them, but we can't trust it. I've also thought about hiring someone with ASD experience as respite, but $$ Cha-CHING $$! As for the meal out, I think you did very well with your choices, especially for an Italian restaurant! I hope your scale agrees!
