No kids=No willpower....

If you have children, this post will make a lot more sense than if you don't. Things are very different when children are either in bed sleeping or at a sleep over. That's when the good food comes out. The hidden food that you bought and don't want to share. Or the pizza that you order and you again, don't want to share. I literally share everything I have with my kids and very rarely do I do things for myself. I don't even poop by myself most of the time. Apparently, it's family conference time when I do my business. Warning to anyone who doesn't have children, once you do, you lose every ounce of privacy you've ever had. Anyways, back to the point of this post. So with both children gone this weekend, Hayden to his Dad's and Jaedyn to a friends for 2 nights, Matt and I ate horribly. Friday night we ordered Chinese food. I'm sure there's healthy versions of Chinese food that I could have substituted my meal for, but let's be honest, that's not gonna make this hefty mama happy. So in all it's deep fried, battered goodness, unshared Chinese food was a success. Then Saturday night while out doing some running around, for some reason the van decided to go to Taco Bell. We don't go to Taco Bell much and obviously the right time to go is when I've started a diet. I'm not even going to explain to you all the delicious calories I consumed but I do realise that I was probably born without willpower. 

The definition of willpower is 'self-control: the trait of resolutely controlling your own behavior'. I definitely have none of that. I feel like I use all my self control up in other aspects of my life. Containing my road rage can be a really daunting task and that takes an incredible amount of self control therefore I have no choice but to order Taco Bell to even things out in my life. If you've bought this excuse then I feel as though I have accomplished something. So, it's Monday. A new start to the week. And yet again, I see myself mentally preparing for a clean eating healthy week (with the exception of today) So with a teething sick coughy infant, a sick coughy 5 year old and a 9 year old's huge Castle project due, I begin on my quest yet again. Let the healthy eating, lame excuses and crying because I ate too many cookies week begin!!
