My drivers license weight is also a lie. I also somehow managed to skip getting my pic taken for my license , since… before COVID, my last photo was taken when I was pregnant with my 7 year old!!!!! I drink too much coffee too. And with teens down to 7 year old , I don’t get much sleep either. Was out with a homeschool mom/teen event tonight and I’m writing this at 1 am!!! I should listen to your advice Love ya!
It seems to happen out of nowhere!!! If you're at a place where you want to become more honest with your driver's license feel free to join me! I promise I'm not doing anything special (meaning no program or fancy diet)...just good old fashioned not eating junk and being more active!
New food rule - don't diet it sounds like you know what to do - if you veer off from what you want don't shame yourself - you look and sound healthy and beautiful so take it in your stride and by that I mean don't get sucked into any diet culture - I wholeheartedly agree with you about sleep and just remember your children see and hear your example just as we did with our parents So maybe try and creatively think of a way you can fit enough sleep into your 24 hours without missing out on the valuable quality time with children of different ages What will work for you will be what you can stick to - what is sustainable for you - we all have different lives so experiment, tweak and see diet as a lifelong work in progress There are some foods I went through a phase and ate everyday that I am not interested in eating now and you may have observed in your family some members tastes change over time Diet is not an exact science and no one else can really tell you what to eat - try as they might I am responsible for everything I choose to put in my mouth for good or bad We all have contributing factors or stressors that make it a challenge (medications, chronic illness, busy lives etc) though at the end of the day it is me that is responsible for how I treat and care for my body Prayer helps Some altenative snacks that may help include apples, protein bars, natural yoghurt, zero sugar cordial, low calorie jelly, tuna with corn, some cooked chicken breast sprinkled with cinnamon salt and a little bit of honey Having a savoury breakfast can also really help It is ok to have a treat even if it is chocolate and even a healthy eater may occasionally overeat It is more about learning how not to binge or at least lessen how often You got this!
Yes, thank you for this! I need to just bring back some good habits that are sustainable. We are a musical family so there are a lot of later nights. The performers don't like to eat much before performing so are usually very hungry when they get home so we usually have late night snacks. I definitely don't need to partake in that all of the time. :-) I need to find that balance between making an effort to be healthier, but not being so extreme that I won't continue. Thanks so much for watching and your comment!
Good for you! I would love to see what kind of alternate treats you come up with to satisfy that sweet tooth. I am addicted to treats too 😂 but pregnancy (and lent) is the only thing that can drive me to watch what I eat. Otherwise it feels hopeless haha.
I will let you know. I gave up sugar for almost a year once and people say that you lose the taste for it....uh, nope. I had no problem going right back. ☺️ I will definitely be attaching some intentions to this process otherwise there's no way I'll succeed.
You are pretty :)

My driver’s license weight is a lie too 😬

So maybe try and creatively think of a way you can fit enough sleep into your 24 hours without missing out on the valuable quality time with children of different ages
What will work for you will be what you can stick to - what is sustainable for you - we all have different lives so experiment, tweak and see diet as a lifelong work in progress
There are some foods I went through a phase and ate everyday that I am not interested in eating now and you may have observed in your family some members tastes change over time
Diet is not an exact science and no one else can really tell you what to eat - try as they might
I am responsible for everything I choose to put in my mouth for good or bad
We all have contributing factors or stressors that make it a challenge (medications, chronic illness, busy lives etc) though at the end of the day it is me that is responsible for how I treat and care for my body
Prayer helps
Some altenative snacks that may help include apples, protein bars, natural yoghurt, zero sugar cordial, low calorie jelly, tuna with corn, some cooked chicken breast sprinkled with cinnamon salt and a little bit of honey
Having a savoury breakfast can also really help
It is ok to have a treat even if it is chocolate and even a healthy eater may occasionally overeat
It is more about learning how not to binge or at least lessen how often
You got this!

Oh wow! We have age, weight, height, hair color and eye color.
Mn doesn’t say our hair color but all the other things
