A Revelation

As a mother, I would always stress to my kids to do right and to listen. For the most part, they did and some things they did not; however, I let them know, whenever they were hard headed. Today, I was thinking about the many times; I had to lecture my kids for being hard headed and it dawned on me. What if they lectured me, every time I said I am on a diet and failed?

They would like that opportunity, which will never happen. However, what if it did; my ears would hurt, from it I am sure, I could hear them now saying something like mom you messed up again. On the other hand, my daughter would say, mom you start a new diet every Mon or is it Tue. For them it would go on for days so instead of giving them that opportunity, I decided to lecture myself today. Therefore, I purchased the smallest bowl; I could find so that I no longer have to eat out of the bigger bowls. Then I looked for the smallest plates I could find, I decided if it does not fit on the plate or spills out the bowl then I have too much.

Breakfast - small bowl of granola cereal

Coffee – French vanilla

Lunch - small bowl of hamburger helper

Diet Ginger Ale
