Oh, this sounds hard. You are doing a great job and you are right, you are teaching him a great lesson in being balanced and showing that you need to take care of yourself sometimes.

Susan, It is so hard not to want to make our children happy all the time and save them from all the discomforts of the world. But I have had to find out the hardway that to save them and shortening their pain only cheats them of being strong self-reliant adults. They will respect you more for modeling that sometimes the long hard way and doing things that we don't like(eating our veggies) makes us stronger when life really gets tough and we can stand on our two feet and make confident decisions. I would rather know that someday that my children will look back and remember that wow my mom was so good at making decisions and I can do that too. It is all about self-care and modeling our own value that I believe will make all the difference. He may appreciate the newness of his step-mom. BUT YOU are MOM. Nothing can ever change that. He will always defer to you. You sound like you are doing a great job, keep making strides.

Thinking woulda, shoulda, coulda - but did nothing. And beating myself up for it!

I have too many lists. Or not enough lists. Or no list, where is my list? Did I make a list?

Okay, where to begin. Using excuses began when I was in grade school. So, I've been professionally excusing for quite a while now. Fear is the greatest reason. I gave birth and gave excuses why I wasn't ready. I was more than happy to have Kyle hang in there a little longer. He's 14 now so I could be on Discovery Channel's "Most Extreme Pregnancies." After I got through that birthing thing and brought the young master home; I finally settled in to what needed to be done. This should have been the perfect opportunity to begin anew as my husband and I were moving on a new path. Happened again when I gave birth to twins. This situation was a tad different. Way too much medical information there but suffice to say I have a great looking scar and when I look at it..A. reminds me to look into tummy tuck surgery or B. so happy I have Matt and Colin. Again another good reason to strike while the coals are damn hot. Bit the big one and gave in to the damn word. I'm pushing myself to get motivated. I mean look at how long it took me to reply to this thread. Its one task at a time and trying to be mindful that these things are not going to kill me. Oh how happy I will make me when I get out of bed and do everything on the list and not grumble and give in to excuses.

Ultimate Master Cleanse Results

I made it through ALL 21 days!  No starving-- the meals were very good and I learned some new foods that I like now!  In 21 days I had not only did I lose 10 pounds but my skin got soft and smooth. This is a cellular reset and it reset my metabolism. Most importantly it changed my relationship with food.  I no longer crave junk, coffee, meats or alcohol.  This was a great shift for me. I am not eating off the kid's plates nor eating while I prepare meals.  You can also go more Vegan with this structured plan.You can only walk during the 21 day program or do yoga.  This gives your body time to heal.If you are ready for change-- I am here for you. I have a new support group starting up for the Ultimate Reset on June 4th.  Feel free to look at the details and send me a note with your questions.  …See More
