pretty healthy eating day, but still need to put protein first.....just glad some foods taste ok now
i hope all of you have a great day !
Thanks Deb! I know, bbq from all over was here in my little town, it was awesome!
I know this is life and I cant be perfect. Logically I know that, it's that darn little naggy voice in my head that does not want to stop at times. Ugh!
Kind of like a teenager! My are now 18 and 19, does get a little easier, but can still make me want to pull my hair out some days!
How do we all do it?
We all have so much going on in life, that it can be so overwhelming! Maybe that's why I chose food instead of drugs or gambling or etc.
Thanks again!

I can't be perfect everyday.
I need to take transplant rejection meds 12 hrs apart. I can take no calcium or iron within 3 hours of those meds. I need to drink more water. I need to move more. I need to do more laundry. I need to live with a mostly petulant 14 year old boy and feed him and get him where he needs to go. I need to track my food. I need to make sure I've gone to the grocery store. I have to assess my wife to see how her physical needs are and if she is in a big pain day. I have labs drawn every month. Therapy every week. Doctors..so many doctors.
Can I do it all everyday?? Hell no. I just trying to get better. I'll focus on something that has been lacking..ie drinking water. Then you wake up the next day and you have to start all over again. I think I should get some slack days but nope...just start over trying to do it all.
I would have eaten that BBQ with no regret.

I use my time on OH (and netflix..let's be real) to work on my daily fluid intake. I also chew chocolate calcium chews. If there is food nearby I will eat it.
I miss the big storms. I grew up in Oklahoma and my father was fascinated by weather and shared that love with me. We use to go watch them and also there was a lake nearby that you would see them starting up. My son was 4 before he heard thunder. Seattle has sedate weather.

It doesn't sound like you are having a very stress free life right now. That's a lot of kids in the house!
My suggestion is putting yourself first. Decide what you want to eat and make it. If the others don't want that they can cook their own meals. My son loves Oreos. He may have them at his grandmother's house that he goes to every Friday.
I wish your husband was more supportive and loving. You deserve that.

I know my husband and kids do not have weight issues, so food is always a battle.
I try to keep things around from them that doesn't bother me. Like ice cream makes me dump something awful. Doritos or potato chips don't bother me, but keep me away from pretzels and graham crackers. Those are no longer welcomed in this house.
Don't let his hurtful words take away your power. Both of you ladies sound like very strong women, so fight for your health. My biggest fear really is that my type 2 diabetes will return. So I am trying to focus on that, but some days are rougher than others.
Keep posting and reaching out. We are here for each other and as Mary Gee stated, We can do this!

Thanks Mary Gee!
I am right here with you, cheering you on too! The carbs are tough. Once I am away from them for a few days the easier it gets, but once I start, oh boy!
Keep fighting the good fight. Some times I guess I just need that mental check. Being prepared always make things easier. Made some hard boiled eggs and some sliced turkey rolled up around a cheese stick in case I really feel the need to snack or have an easy lunch at hand.
Thanks again, and together we can do this!
Good luck to you too!
