Well this morning's weigh in was 233.0 lbs. Back up again and I am stressing out. Which is causing me to raid the kids candy.......been mostly eating the gum that I don't let them have......but I have had some chocolate too. Any of you with girls out there - how old were they when you first let them have gum? My oldest is 7 and her hair is down to her butt, same with my 6 year old and the 5 year old is shoulder length. Already had to get it out of the 6 year olds hair once this year - she didn't like that.
The other thing stressing me out is i had been looking for a job in February but got nowhere. I had one interview and passed all the testing and then never heard from them. Well I got a call from them the other day. Have an interview set up for tomorrow. The pay is good BUT I will be driving 45 minutes twice a day, filling up my tank every other day, have to find daycare for the girls AND do all this in the next week because if I get the job I would start May 8. Plus after daycare cost the money left over isn't that much and won't be anything if gas prices keep going up. The joys of trying to be a working mother. lol :)
This plus the "monsters" I watch have been being just that - monsters. The little 6 year old girl tried to teach my 6 year old to stick up her middle finger yesterday. My daughter immediately started yelling to me that she was trying to do something bad. And I put that girl right into a time out. This is like the third time she has taught/tried to teach my kids something bad. I am supposed to be watching them through the summer. Right now I am not getting any money from this but she is providing food - when she remembers. Any ideas? Should I keep watching them but make her pay me? Her son has ADD so he is a handful too and he picks on his sister until she hits him or worse. Or should I just tell her I can't handle the stress I am getting from them and to find a new babysitter?
So needless to say my diet has been shot this week. But I hope to get back on track today. Right after the schools volunteer breakfast this morning! lol Have a great day and I hope to be back tomorrow with an update of what I decided. I needed to vent on other non-diet related things - so thanks for listening/reading. :)

Hey it's me Eva I was reading your journal and I sort of got mad that you are doing something so nice for someone and they are sort of taking advantage, I mean people know what they are getting away with, the mother of those kids knows what she is doing, you don't need to be mean about it but let her know that the situation can't go on like this, she should compensate you for your time and stress or try and find someone else she can not pay to watch her children, I bet you she'll have no luck at all. Just a suggestion. Anyway don't get too discouraged about your lack of luck on the scale I know if you keep it up you will get to where you want to be. Good Luck.
Try to stay motivated, I know that it is hard!!! I have been trying to increase my fluid intake to help me feel more full. To answer your question that you posted in my journal: I love Arizona diet green tea!!! It has helped me to avoid drinking diet soda, which I love!!!! I find that any green tea is a great alternative when drinking lots of water gets to be boring.
Have a great weekend,

I always say try to eliminate the stress from you life if you can identify it. Sounds like you know one of the reasons so I say stop babysitting them. Of course when my children were little they were really the only kids I had alot of patence for.
