Merideth's 2nd note to self - ah ha!

* tantrum-ing 9 month old. (just b/c there is now a 35 inch distance between us doesn't mean i am gone forever.)

* bickering 4 year olds. (can't your almonds be called both "almonds" and "nuts?" can't we all just get along?)

* dog peeing on kitchen floor. (again? really?)

* taxes due. (oh, how it pains me to write that check!)

* husband absent. (new oooold truck bought with dishwasher-might-soon-die fund requires that many hours of love and attention?)

. . . so merideth eats.

Merideth's First note to self - self regulating

you know, in high school, if i overindulged over the holidays or whatever, and my jeans felt a little tight, i would almost subconsciously make little adjustments for the next couple of days and be right back on track, sizewise. it was just a natural thing to be ... i started to type "thin," but that's not right ... fit? normal? not the least bit chunky?

so, i'm thinkin' my first step needs to be analyzing what has stopped me from self-regulating? oprah? dr. phil? please feel free to contact me if you've got some insight...
