I guess it doesn’t count….
to put food in my journal that I plan on eating. If you have read through my past posts, I believe I mentioned I have issues with not eating enough. I used to REALLY not eat enough, and while I still struggle with that, I have added on the new “eat crap” habit. Sweet Jesus, I’m messed up. I have been adding foods the last couple of days that I plan on eating, then have to go and take them off when I don’t actually eat them. I think that will stop today.
Now for the fun stuff. I have been working with my husband for the last year. My daughter started a few months ago, and as time has gone on, we have realized only one of us is needed. As she is working until she starts cosmetology school in the fall, I decided I would take the time off until she starts. We don’t need my income, but I feel like a failure, not contributing to the household finances. I am no Mrs. Cleaver…I don’t know how to cook (great for my eating habits), I have a housekeeper that comes once a week and all I really have to do is make my bed every day and pick up my younger daughter from school. I AM BORED OUT OF MY MIND!!!! I was going to volunteer at her school, but they don’t have opportunities, as they have the student’s do much of what parents would typically do. They also don’t have PTA (what?).
Anyway, I would appreciate ideas from anyone who is a stay at homer, and doesn’t have small children to be responsible for. It’s hard going from 40 hours a week to nothing, almost over night.

This may be off the wall, but you never know which crazy suggestion might actually click.
Take a look at http://www.slowfoodsandiego.org/home.htm. If you were involved with the Slow Food movement, it might help you gravitate away from junk food. My experiences with the slow food people have been wonderful. They are, in general, a kind and eclectic and creative bunch.
Thank you for the tip. I will check the link out later this evening.
