after pregnancy i became a junk food crazy

- brandy3 2 Comments

growing up i hardly ate junk food. my mom said i was so good i never begged for candy at the store.  after my first pregnancy it got worse all i wanted was junk food 24/7. it got worse with my second, but i learned to control it with my 3. now that i have two toddlers. it’s so hard to keep the junk out of the cupboards. my kids love candy chips everything you can think of.

when i got the email parent bloggers were doing a blog blast about snacks. i thought that i’m going to embarassed by taking pictures of all my unhealthy food. but who cares this is me. i am eating chocolate fudge poptarts as we speak. we do have some healthy snacks, my kids are not to fond of them. but like freeze dried fruits, cheerios, etc. which is wht i am glad to know that brothers all natural makes a great snack my kids will love

my husbands in college and packs his lunch, so there is part of the junk food right there, but it’s mainly my fault. i do the shopping. my snacking confession is i am dpressed a lot and snacking is helpful to me. i odn’t over do it. but you know it always feels nice when your down to just graba bag of chips and chow down.

this is my cupboard and as you can see it’s not very good.  pop tarts, chips, jello, and they are hidden but hershey bars.

my pantry is not so bad, popcorn and graham crackers

 in my fridge i have ready to bake cookies, soda, and juice

so i am not a health freak i love to snack. and i do give my kids occasional snacks. but we do eat healthy too. salad or vegetables every night with dinner. plenty of fruits with breakfast and lunch varies.

moochers

- brandy3

it’s a mothers progrative to do what ever she can for her child. no matter what age the child is. a mother could never throw her child on the streets. when a child reaches adulthood. it becomes more of a fustration, if your child has no where to go, no job etc.  what are you going to do? how are you going to proceed? of course your going to let your adult child live at home, and do what you can. when do you say enough s enough. when does the mooching become to much?

i see this happening a lot even in my own family, and i’m in disbelief.  the main question i have is when do you finally give up, and say no more mooching? what lengths should you go to help your adult child?

depression

- brandy3 2 Comments

i think i’m suffering from depression. it’s like everything is hitting me at once. i take care of three kids, all under the age of 4. pretty much with no help. my husband is never home and when he is he’s hiding in his room. my mother in law just died and it’s been tough on all of us, exspecially my 3 year old. my dh is incharge of her estate and will not let me help. he says it’s not my place. which is ok i understand to some extent. i still feel like i’m not part of the family.. so yeah i’m depressed. anyone offer any advice.

i usually don’t get to personnal, but i’m on the edge of my seat and don’t know what to do
