Confession Thursday
Re: Confession Thursday
@ystaalenburg I have a love/hate relationship with people commenting about when I'm down weight. It's awesome to hear that all your hard work is noticeable, but at the same time it makes me more self concious when I gain any weight back.
I have to confess that I was super annoyed with DH yesterday. We stayed at a friend's house New Year's Eve because we were both drunk. Not black out, throw up, or pass out drunk, but definitely more than buzzed. Anyway, his family plays boot hockey every Saturday and then has a big tournament on New Year's Day. I went home and spent the day in the kitchen for my prep day and he played boot hockey.
He was dropped off about 4 and I was in the middle of everything. Making ingredients for meals and he stumbled in the door and then passed out on the couch. He was wasted. I get having a couple while you play, but I don't think getting detroyed is necessary.
He woke up a couple hours later, still drunk, as I was finishing dinner for the night. He immediately started whining saying that his hangover was starting. Which I don't see that as being possible with how drunk he still was. I brought him up food and all he could say to me was, "This sauce is too sweet, why don't you put in a pizza?" I have never come that close to smacking him as I was at that moment. Yeah, it did turn out a bit sweet but it was still good. He was just lashing out at me because he asked me for sprite while I was cooking. I told him that he did it to himself and if he can get that wasted and still play boot hockey, then he can get his own pop.
He did some other "jerk" things like I brought him a pulled pork sandwich. I was mad at him, but I was just trying to get him to eat something to hopefully sober him up a bit. I brought it on one of the new buns I made. He promptly insulted me on that as well. He just didn't want to eat and was being a drunk a-hole There were a couple other things, but I won't get into it.
Not a super awesome way to start the new year. He was nicer later in the night but wasn't sober enough to apologize to me. I'm going to have to remind him how he was yesterday and if he knows what's good for him, he'll apologize.
@ystaalenburg You've been working hard, don't let people get you down. You looked amazing on NYE and I am sure your friends wished they worked that hard to look that good, too.
I have been off for work for almost 2 weeks. I do not want to go back on Monday, at all. If I could send in my letter of resignation right now, I would. Too bad I make more than H and I support our family
#1 So while I'm focusing on adding healthy choices into my life along with H (working out, eating healthy), I'm also hiding my scale for a month, or two. It seems to get me down more than encouraging me. I might bring it down every 2 weeks to check on my progress, otherwise I'll be hoping on it daily which is not encouraging.

#2 I think my stepdaughter is behind in maturity. She just doesn't act like a 7, almost 8 year old to me. It's mostly little things, like I always have to ask her if she wiped after using the bathroom and it's always "opps I forgot". Or she wants to know "how many bites" until she's done. Um... all of them!? She also wets the bed every other night. We stop drinks after 7, potty before bed (930-10), and it still happens. I feel like at 7 years old, she shouldn't need a pull up. H can't ask biomom anything because she gets defensive and it's a big fight. I found myself getting kind of losing patience with her, and I feel bad. Part of me thinks she does some of the stuff to get attention. The acting out stuff, not the bed wetting.
