Baaaaam! (The holiday & rambling about mom issues)

Thursday, July 05, 2012


How well the 4th of July went, tracking food, staying within ranges, and compliments from my brother!

Also some ramblings about my mommy issues, but I think things are getting a little better.

    Wow that was great. I loved being able to see you and watch your face as you talked. Mothers... What can I say.. They mean well (or at least we hope they do)
2 things..1 Remember YOU are the important one.. If YOU are not happy people around you will not be.. 2 You do not have to give yourself away to please others. If they love you they will be happy with what you give.
My Mum raised me to be her confidant and the one that would look after her in her old age. It took a long time and a lot of heartache to find who I was and gain the ability to say NO to her (and other, was only good at saying no to me :) )

It takes time.

    You CAN do this! I'll bet that cake was a shock to the system...salty and sweet flavours are intensified more once intake is reduced....but just promise me that you won't eat cake to help you chug that water late in the night....teehee! You're doing awesome, love the attitude! I think that if your mom brings up the walking again, you should be straight with her, like you are, and pretty much lay down the rules that you stated on here....much love♥

    You are in such a better mindset than you were last year. I know it's tough sometimes having a mom who wants everything to be about her, but you've made tons of progress in that department, so I don't see anything wrong with having a "rant" and getting things out that you feel. Oh and you have my promise that I won't be lazy or try and take a day off. We're in this together :).
