Okay, so I’m still fat.
I did try to do things correctly and eat in a healthy way, but somehow it just didn’t work. I’m pretty sure it’s because I have no willpower.
I used to have willpower. I went about 12 months in high school eating maybe 500 calories a day – and I’m 5′9″ on a sturdy frame. I actually turned yellow due to malnutrition and my period stopped. Crazy, right?
Well today my skin is pink and glowing do to all the healthy fats it’s receiving in my current diet. And believe me there are plenty of them coming into the system.
I’m growing more convinced that will power deserts us:
- When we have a husband on the Michael Phelps diet who never gains weight and leaves junk everywhere.
- When we sleep six hours a night in six different segments – thanks, boys.
- When we have an outrageous schedule that leaves little or no time for fun.
In my little world, food is my fun. “Hey, I can’t watch TV or read, I have to work. But I can sure eat some Skittles to keep me awake just a little while longer! Oh, and there’s a brownie – yum!”
Case in point: As I jot this down, my hubby walks out the door to the store asking, “Hey, do you want any candy bars or anything?”
Naturally I say no since I’m trying to pretend I have self control for a hour or two, but later I’ll just eat his because he leaves it on the counter and I’ll need the artificial energy.
Plus it’s just sitting there half eaten, and as we know – I have no self control.
Don’t worry about me. I think my self control is hiding under the shadow my butt seems to be making these days. I’ll find it again eventually.
Just goes to show the rules of pregnancy are always changing. A new study followed pregnant moms and their babies for eight years tracking diet and health information. It would seem mothers who ate nut products every day (or almost every day) during pregnancy had children with up to a 52% greater chance of asthma symptoms like shortness of breath and wheezing.
