Raves and Rants

I'm so proud of myself.  I've been on the treadmill walking and jogging.  However, it is hard to do while a three year old stands there the whole time and says, "Mommy, what are you doing?"  And did I mention he was eating fruit snacks at the time.  He only gets away with it because he is so darn cute! 

I've not been snacking, particuarly at night after dinner.  Plus it's been less difficult - amazing! 

I'm so happy!

On a negative note - I had someone say to me this week that they are worried about my health and well being since I am overweight.  Now, I know this person was just being nice.  Well, maybe nice isn't the word, but you get my point.  My reaction inside was; I don't need you to worry about me.  I sometimes want to wear a sign that says, "Don't feel bad for me.  Don't pay attention to what I'm doing or eating.  It's none of your business.  I'm working on myself and I don't need your helping looks or words?  They don't help - they make me feel worse."

Yes, I know that's very harsh, but jeez!  It's harder for some of than all the rest.  I think the comment she made really hurt my feelings.  In my opinion we don't have that kind of relationship to say things like that.  Now if my mom made the comment, I would have had a whole different reaction. 

At least my vent made me feel better, now I can get back to the good place I'm in.
