I have been keeping a food journal everyday for the past three days. Starting off, I just recorded what I ate and how many calories I consumed. I felt overwhelmed with how much calories a day I have taken in( still overwhelmed). Since I have noticed this, I have tried desperately to cut the numbers down. I feel completely empty inside because I have cut back somewhat, but I gave in to my temptations lately.
This morning I woke up in a bad mood and didn't want to even try to make breakfast for my family. So guess what? I took myself and my three kids to McDonald's.
I instantly felt ashamed of myself. Not only did I feel ashamed of myself for eating there, but also I feel that way because I let my kids eat that junk too. Not a very good example for my kids... I want all this weight to be off me, but in reality, it isn't easy.
I don't know what to do....

Wow! I am overwhelmed with all the encouragement! Thank you all tons! Usually, I actually do pretty good for my kids. They usually do eat oatmeal, yogurt, fruits, and such. Sometimes I even look at them and think, Why am I not eating that? Why don't I just eat the same thing I gave them to eat? Why am I the picky one? I normally don't get breakfast at McDonald's and I hardly ever let my kids eat there at all. I'm telling you though, when you feel bad, it can drag you down. Rather it be depression, stress, anxiety, or just feeling lazy a little, can really damage you quick and fast. I'm a prime example. What's amazing is, I have a 6 month old baby now. When I first found out I was pregnant last year, I knew I had to be on a diet and exercise for the baby's sake. I never questioned eating healthy or going to the gym. In fact, I went almost every day up until I was 8 months pregnant. I knew that my baby's well being depended on my state of health. Now that he is here, I don't know why I feel like I can't get back on track.

Tiffany, I used to find myself standing with the refrigerator door open looking inside and wonder "How the heck did I get here!" It was just a habit. Eventually I'd find myself there and think to myself, "Okay. Do you have enough good stuff thawed that you won't be making a horrible choice when the time comes to eat?" That one change made a big difference to me. You're doing exactly the right thing right now. You're sorting it all out in your head. - Melon: Keeping FS open is such a good idea. Nothing like a constant reminder.

Tiffany, I find that cutting out the really bad carbs help me to lose weight and not worry about counting calories becuase if you are filling yourself with veggies, lean meats, water, you will be full and satisfied.
