Isn't it amazing how our attitudes and moods can change so quickly? It is a lot like the weather - one moment all sunny and bright, the next moment rain and thunderstorms.
I am sure how we handle those changes is more important the changes themselves...and it is all part of the journey.
Yesterday I was loving life, by this afternoon - not so much.
I am looking forward to bouncing back tomorrow.
The day was going great until I chose to let my "I know better than you" get in the way of actually encouraging one of my children. I am 100% frustrated and disappointed with myself.
Yet, the one interesting thing is I noticed as I started beating myself up over my inability to stay the calm, cool mother that I wanted food - not any food, but junk food. I wanted a cookie or some chips or even some fast food. I wanted the food to make me feel better when I felt so terrible.
I only partially gave in....actually, I started to give in when I realized what I was doing: eating for comfort.
Knowing is half the battle, right? I now know that when I am down on myself I like to turn to food. Time to change that habit! Also time to start working on my patience. :)
Happy Walking!
