Trivia Question of the Day: What 'funny' dad/husband said this?
Wife: "I think the hormonal fluctuation of PMS is screwing with my sleep. I'm about ready to bawl my head off over everything."
Husband, "I kinda picked up on that a couple of days ago."
Hint: I didn't find it funny.
Yeah, it was my husband. My generally awesome, amazing husband, who at times has 'foot in mouth disease'.
Thankfully for him, it was via email and I assumed he was being an idiot and not thinking. If he'd been here in person, it could have easily led to tears or yelling. Probably both.
I don't know what is up lately (yeah, I got it, I'm getting older, probably menopause type shit), but the emotional ups and downs have been crazy for me. I have managed to pretty much avoid feeding my cravings, but I will say that after three days of craving sugar, I decided to allow myself a Snickers bar. I actually bought one on Friday and then didn't even eat it until Saturday.
It was DIVINE... and it was ENOUGH! That was a new one for me! I was happy to have had it, I didn't beat myself up, I just enjoyed it and then that was ALL. I didn't use that as a reason to beat myself up, or cave and eat everything in sight (something I've done in the past)... I just had a treat. It was nice. I felt good about having made a decision rather than just clinging to some hard and fast rule and I let myself BE. I didn't fall apart and I didn't then cave on my whole journey to health.
I think I like this new me. Listening to myself, being kind to myself and letting myself have weak moments without throwing the baby out with the bath water.
I feel victorious!
This may not seem like a big deal, but it is HUGE for someone like me! I tend to be all or nothing, black or white, no in between... and even a small, tiny indiscretion would often have me giving up completely. I'm growing up, y'all! :)
I am living by THIS motto now:
