So here it is...5:38pm...I'm home from a hellishly busy day at work and am sitting at 840 calories for the day so far.  I'm not hungry, but the stress of the day is making me want to raid the fridge and eat a bunch 'o crap I know isn't good for me.  Late night eating has ALWAYS been my downfall.  I have GOT to get control of that!!!

I have to get over this hump of doing SO well all day while I'm at work...and then getting home and craving everything that's bad for me.  And it's not like I don't have good things to eat here...veggies, yogurt, lean meat, etc.

It's all my son's stuff that I want...corn dogs, burritos, frozen pizza, chips, etc.  I guess it boils down to one of two options.

Either I take control of myself and just say no to the crap.  Or...force my kiddo to go on a diet with me and take away all the stuff he likes. 

My son is 14, 6'1 and 147 lbs.  He's not a couch potato by any means.  He plays in a rock band, skateboards and is always active doing something.  So, for that I am blessed!  It's probably why I allow him to have some of the things he likes to eat and can make himself.  I still play "mean" Mom and make him eat his veggies though!  *lol*

The upside is school starts tomorrow, so I won't have to keep all the easy, quick fix stuff on hand like I've had all summer. 

Whew...okay, venting helped.  I think I'll go toss together a grilled chicken salad and savor every crunchy bite!

Love to all!
