Out Sick


The stomach flu has hit Shrinking Mom HQ. First the daughter, then me. Today is the first day I really feel "normal" if such a thing could ever be said about me. LOL :) Unfortunately, I've fallen back into bad eating habits. Creating new behavior patterns is hard.

I'm trying not to feel like I let myself down, like I've failed, but that mindset is tough to change. I guess developing new habits is like raising kids: when they get sick or if there's a major change in their life kids often revert to behaviors normal to younger ages. So that's me. A little toddler who got sick and now has to be reminded yes you really can eat well and balanced and be healthy even when you're sick.

Still no scale in the house, so I think the first weigh in will have to wait until Wednesday. Missed acouple of days in the food diary, but am back on track with that too. Went for a walk Wednesday before I felt sick and last evening, so there are positives this week now that I think about it.
