How my children see me Mood
Thursday, July 23, 2009

I was thinking about this tonight.....some things have come to my attention recently....that I am not prowd of. I am actually embarrased. I hope that this is what I need to change. Its how they see me, that will make me change.

 

I started really noticing when my 4 year old asked me if I was pregnant. I am not pregnant, but I will admit I can probably pass for 7 months if I was wearing maternity clothes. Then I started to notice the things I did when I was around them. For example each morning when I get them their cereal, I take a little bit out of each bowl for myself. Everytime. I also have some other horrible eating habits....like eating fast food daily. I also always need something sweet after a meal....every meal. I always finish my kids food, in addition to eating my own food. And I jump on it....thats whats worse. I couldn't wait for my daughter to get done from the table so I could finish her food.

 

I can only imagine how they see me. What type of examples am I setting for them? I got on the scale tonight and I was not surprised. I am sad about it....and I know I need to do something, because I am raising mini-me's ..... and that is not what I want. I do not want my children to eat like me. I do not want them to learn my habits.
