Anger ... a great dieting tool

So we've been away for a while.  We went to the beach with my mom. We had planned on visiting with some old Friends who were at a family reunion. I'd say that went so so. My mother was so busy being territorial that we hardly saw them.

So we went to the beach and really it went pretty well. I didn't come back weighing any more or less. But then we were home and the week we came home we had 2 birthdays and a baby shower. I know that for me the only way that I will be able to maintain a new eating pattern is by not totally denying myself during special occasions. So I didn't. And for that whole week i hovered around 280.

Then we had guests. Teenage guests. Whom my kids adored. But my mother and the guests couldn't be bothered giving my kids (or their parents for that matter) the time of day. I just kept getting angrier an angrier until today i blew up at my mother. I was so mad I wasn't hungry all day. And I'm weighing in at 278. If I wasn't afraid of ulcers or cancer or unhappiness i'd stay mad forever and get thin!!!
