I did it! I got rid of the excess baggage!

Over the last decade I've done the opposite of what most people do, I'm not the only one, but it's the opposite of what 'normals' do. Hehehehe...

I've kept those clothes, those oversize clothes, in the closet, drawers and cupboards. I've done the yo-yo for years and years. Up 10lbs, down 15lbs, up 20lbs, down 10lbs... So to make sure that I was always prepared Ikept the big clothes. You know. Just in case I gain that weight back again. I never kept the smaller clothes, I always got rid of those, not sure why... but I always managed to keep the big ones. It always seems like people are keeping the smaller clothing, because they're determined to get back into them.

So today, I did what I've only dreamed. Well, okay, not really. But I did what I was UNABLE to do over the last 10 years.

I went thru the closet, drawers and cupboards in my room. Took all those 'comfort' clothes, those item that were my just-in-case stash, and I got rid of them. That's right, they're gone! There is no reason to keep them, no reason to have those just-in-case clothes, it's not that I don't plan on going back... it's that I'M NOT GOING TO GAIN THAT WEIGHT BACK!!! In the past I always set myself up for failure, by keeping those clothes, I was destined to put the pounds back on and get bigger in the process. Not this time. Not ever again.

I believe in myself, I believe that I can get this weight of and keep it off, and I believe, above all else, that I am worth it. :)

Washing My Hair in the Sink

We woke up late this morning. Jerome and Xavier decided to sleep in and Sylvain didn't set his alarm. I woke up and looked around, it was bright in our room. Oh no. That means the sun is coming up. That means it's after 7am. Crap. Turns out it was 7:45am. My dayhome is 'supposed' to be open at 7am, Sylvain is supposed to be off to work at 7:30. EEK! Jump out of bed, don't even get dressed, run downstairs and check the front door. Nobody. Whew. Then I start to wander around and turn on lights, straighten up and realize I probably have to wash my face. Make up, wonderful... unless you go to bed with it on. Anyway. Everything started out in a hurry, but slowed down after that. I was going to have a dayhome safety check done today, but she called and rescheduled. But that wasn't before I ran around putting things away, cleaning things, locking up cupboards, etc. Sheesh. In between babies snacking, playing, diaper changes. And that was BEFORE lunch! I remember I have...

Day 9: I Haven't Killed Anyone Yet

I'm on day nine of this liquid pre-op diet, and like the title says, everyone is alive and well... or at the very least, they're alive. After nine days I've discovered a few things about myself. Not all of it is flattering. 1) I like food. I don't love it. I don't need it. However, I do enjoy it. I miss the tastes, textures and flavours that food offers. For some strange reason, lettuce is on top of that list. 2) Emotional eating is not limited to anger and sadness. In the nine days I've been on Ensure and clear fluids I still need to parent. I'm a mom and need to make sure my kids stay in line. When I get frustrated with them or am upset at them or if I'm relieved or happy or any other emotion you can think of that involves my children, I eat. I have something, candy or fruit, doesn't matter, I have something. in the last nine days I've had to just deal with my shit in order for things to keep flowing. 3) I'm not as tough as I let ...

Have you met my son? Yes? Good. Have you had a meal with him in attendance? Yes? Awesome. Have you noticed he's a "picky" eater? Yes. Superb. Have you realized I will alter/change/add/not add/break down and give him what he'll eat? Yes? Hmmm... Have you noticed this happens time and time again and seems futile and catering? Yes? Ah... Have you wondered why I don't have a more "assertive" approach to his eating habits? Yes? Don't worry, you're not the only one. You didn't answer yes to any of these questions? Read on anyway! I'm sure I'm not alone in this blog subject!! Here's a list of 11 reasons my son will NOT eat that. 1. It has sauce on it. No, we're not talking ketchup, we're talking tomato sauce, creamy sauce, broth type sauce, cheesy sauce, pesto sauce, mild/medium/hot sauce... basically, if it runs/flows/is a liquid when not frozen... then it's considered a sauce. He will not eat it if it has s...
