“If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.” ~Edgar W. Howe

I love my children and it’s been a fantastic summer, but it’s time to move on!!! The older I get, the more I embrace structure. It makes me feel in control,organized and calm. When that sense of structure is missing, guess how I handle it???? Do I really even need to say it??

I’ve needed our meetings as much as anyone out there, if not more, in the last two weeks. I’m grateful to have WW and such a strong support system in place to help to keep me from my old ways of eating my way through stressful times. Even when I’m struggling and not doing great on program, I’m still doing far, far better than I would have in pre-WW days.

I know it’s a busy time, but try to be give yourself a little “me time” and go easy on yourself when your your food choices are not optimal. “This too shall pass” and we can get back into a brand new routine for fall. It’s going to be a fabulous school year! Hang in there with me….we are almost there!!!!
