Mother’s Day

Monday, March 21st, 2005

For all mothers out there, happy mother’s day :)

As the saying goes … “it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”

I figured out two days ago that it’s not always easy to control our eating habits, and the best way to overcome these crazy cravings is by playing tricks on our minds. Though I tried so much hard to think of healthy food only, the other day at the co-op I couldn’t stop myself from buying a pack of spicy & hot flavoured pringles because I just couldn’t resist looking at the pack resting on the shelf.

When I got back home I felt like eating some but -I’m glad I didn’t- instead I said to myself I might as well have sth nutritious like a so-called ‘traditional’ lunch, and I told myself that if I still felt hungry later on, I’ll have my pringles.

So, I made sure to eat all my plate, and got myself a bowl of salad, and had some dressing on that as I recall, and when I was done I swear I could barely move and I felt so light headed, then I decided that it was a good idea to nap a little until my hubby got back.

There remained resting, in one of the kitchen’s cupboards, the pack of pringles …

139 days …

I’m getting so much bigger, shouldn’t I worry or as they say: ‘better safe than sorry.’ Does that give me the green flag to eat whatever I want as long as it’s healthy?? My husband’s like, ‘no no no, you can’t eat fried potatoes and you can’t have this and that!’

It’s really good to treat yourself from time to time with whatever that feels just right and grab a bag of crisps or a bar of chocolate! It feels even more right to have vanilla ice-cream that’s rich in calcium esp. when you’re feeling down about your weight … defintely yummie … is it time for dinner yet?

The list goes on and on. I know for sure I shouldn’t take drugs or use any sort of chemical products that are known to effect pregnant women, which I’ve surely tried to avoid in the past 4 months of my pregnancy, but as far as I know I can’t always trust what they say. Sometimes it doesn’t seem to make sense esp. when someone comes up to me and says: ‘you can’t wear your car seatbelt or you can’t walk up the stairs?’

It’s not like I’m racing the winds or climbing the Himalayas!

Two more days and I’ll be done with my computer course and I’ll be going back to work and I really miss my mates …

ASP … what’s that!!! As soon as possible?

The class is about to start. But all I can say is that it’s a 24 hour course (one week and a half), and all about intro. to web design or sth like that. I’ve got to ask my husband for more details on that. Okay .. laters ..
