My New Diet

ModelMom's picture

Ok, I give up. Every year I swear that I am gonna start eating healthier and every year I fail miserably. I feed my kids super healthy, fresh foods. I'm something of a nutrition nazi with them with the occasional french fries and happy meal thrown in for a little rebellion, but I suck with myself.

I do like healthy foods, but I am just too damned tired to make anything healthy for myself. My husband works nights mostly, so I make my 3 year old a simple dinner, my daughter is still mainly spoon fed, so that leaves me to eat once they go to bed and while I sometimes throw together a big salad just to get some greens and reds in my system, I mostly just want to eat bread, salami, cheese and chocolate. So bad. Add in the fact that the only liquid I seem to imbibe anymore is coffee and I am really in for some nasty check-ups.

Maybe I just need to move to France where cheese, bread, chocolate and coffee are perfectly acceptable forms of nutrition and the people there are quite healthy and fit. Italy would work just as well......

(BTW, the reason I don't sit and eat with my kids is because my daughter is going through a completely rotten stage right now and if I sit with my son she will either freak out in her high chair or grab at my legs while I am sitting and throw a tantrum far too big for her little body. Not a fun stage right now. Not at all.)

Any European country

Sassys

tends to have a better diet than the US...except weird places like Bavaria...they eat things like "Sour Brauten?" (SP?) Anyhoo, welcome to the world of womanhood! It sucks at times!

My girl can't be contained

My daughter can't be contained in most seats unless I use the five point harness deal, which I never bother to do in the high chair. She's not interested in food much since most of it has made her sick, so she doesn't spend much time seated and eating quietly.

I nuke lean cuisines for dinner. I'm hoping that's going to help me lose some of this weight. I still eat chocolate though. Sigh.

I'm also on the "trying like hell to eat better" path! Er, it's not working out too hot! But, I've just tonight gotten "rid" of the last of the junk food (raw cookie dough) and hope that my will is strong enough to keep from replacing it!

Oh, and in case you're wondering why I put quotes around "rid" - that's to ease my guilt for not mentioning that I've rid the fridge of the junk food by EATING it all over the last 3 days! *sigh* We are strong, we can do it! No sugar cookie dough will rule me! *sob* I hope......

great minds think alike, my friend, because i too get "rid" of bad foods by eating them all! i figure that if i eat the entire box of cookies right now then i wont be able to eat them tomorrow! makes sense, right?!

That to throw away perfectly good food is wasteful! There are starving people in foreign countries, for goodness sake! Though, in all seriousness, it does bug me when they show diet experts throwing peoples food away to start a new diet. Why waste it?? Box it all up and take it to a homeless shelter. I'm sure they'd be ok with the extra carbs!
