How to Get Back on Track When You Fall Off the Diet Wagon...

I would like a how to guide on getting back on track everytime I fall off my diet wagon. I have such trouble getting back on. Yesterday, I did well, today I did the opposite. Maybe it's hormones, but either way, something has to work. I worked too hard to drop weight over the past few years and it is working, but I always creep back up a little and then I get motivated for a bit and drop some more. I just hate when I can't seem to tell my head no. My stomach wins all the time, or is it my head? Many experts say alot of bad eating habits are mental. I can definitely agree with that. If I am happy, sad or angry, I run for the cabinets or fridge. I think television is also a definite evil to losing weight. Everytime I watch a show, which is barely, the commercials are filled with some sort of food ad. Next thing I know, I am running to the fridge looking for that item or something comparable to it. I have been having these troubles since 5th grade. I don't know where I went wrong. I don't know why I ended up with such a big issue with food, but I want to break the cycle. Maybe my next step is counseling. I'll keep you posted! Oh, by the way, don't forget to check my cooking blog out that created with my friend Theresa:  http://www.cookingdivas.blogspot.com/

Out of Order

I am sorry if I haven't been blogging much of late, but I have been sort of "Out of Order". Yes, that's right, "Out of Order". I am not functioning at full capacity these days and need to be adjusted. I can't seem to get my health or my mind on track. Thank goodness for doctors and lots of books. I have been resting alot lately and reading in my quiet time. Don't worry though, no bad news here. Just need to figure out what's been out of whack. I promise that I will tell, once I know. I am so hard to figure out, just ask the doctors, my husband or my parents. I will say that I have been extremely worn down, stressed out to the maximum capacity and pretty much at my limit. I have low blood pressure, imagine that, but I swear it must spike. I feel like my head will pop off from all the stress. I guess it's normal for mothers, but I think my kids think they are in charge, even though I try to explain that they aren't. It's not just them, it's everything. I have ADD /ADHD and have major anxiety issues and that all mixed up with trying to be a SAHM. Just trying to make everything run smoothly is such hard work, because it never seems to go that way and it drives me insane. My friend said something very important in her recent blog about Facebook and how she almost quit it. I feel that Facebook has taken over too much of my time and that if I would just not use it that I would open up alot more space in my life to organize things better. But do understand this, I don't sit on Facebook all day. I just check it several times a day and still carry out everyday things. It just seems that it's gotten out of control and has begun to creep into my life way too much. I think I will be keeping it to a bare minimum. I think I need FA - Facebook Anonymous...
