Yesterday it finally happened!! My emotions broke out and I cried in front of my kids.
We ended up going out to the mall to walk around and they were hungry. When are teenage boys not hungry.
So we went to the food court.
My one son decided what he wanted and I ordered it for him. All was good with the world.
Then my second son wanted this poutine from NYF
Then he wanted this Chinese combo with potatoes but he ordered beans and then got upset cause I was asking him to decided his meat for his combo.
When we were back sitting down all I could think about is why am I here ? I ate having to pick something to eat from all these stores and having to track it in MFP.
As my son continued complaining to me and both of them started calling each other names I just lost it.
Why can you guys just eat whatever you want and not care. And I have to be so stressed about everything.
In the end I went to get a drink for my son and decided I would just grab something. So I got a Cesar salad with the chicken on top. It was very saucy and probably a lot more calories than what they claimed on the menu. I said no cheese or bacon but I should have said no sauce also. That thing was like do you want some lettuce with that dressing?!
But I ate it
I talked about it with my kids and apologized for my outburst.
Then said sorry as well and we hugged it out.
We went for a little walk in the mall and then went back home.
Not sure it won’t happen again but maybe they can see things my way a little more next time.
