Just Plain Mad!

OK, so I was trying my best not to get really angry but let's just say that there was just no control over it. My emotions took over and I literally think that I saw steam coming out of my ears.
On Easter Sunday, my husband, the human garbage disposal, ate enough food to feed a small army! Let me just give you the timeline.
  • 9:00am Breakfast
  • 11:30am We were going to lunch with my parent to Quizno's but while waiting for them to arrive we had to go through the drive through so that he could get 2 Rally's cheesburgers! He ate one of them.
  • 11:45am Ate at Quizno's with my parents and Shawn had a small sub as well.
  • 1:30pm Got back in the car and Shawn ate the other cheeseburger from Rally's
  • 3:00pm Easter Dinner at Shawn's family. I didn't eat and he ate a huge plate full of food.
  • 3:30 to 6:00pm At least 4 plates full of dessert
  • 7:00pm Somewhere around 4 slices of Bunny cake.

Now, you may think that I am joking and wonder why I know the times so well. Well, let's just say that with every trip to the kitchen for more I was texting my mom in shear anger. I couldn't believe that he could eat all that and not worry about it. He woke up the next day and didn't gain a pound. You would have had to role me out of bed and to my car where I would have most likely had to put my seat back to fit my huge belly behind the stearing wheel!

What is my point to all this. I let myself get very discouraged. I focused on the fact that he could eat and eat and eat and not see the effects. Shawn doesn't eat like this often but if he did can you imagine what eating like this would due to your health on the inside? So, what my focus needs to be from now on is not getting angry when people eat more than I can and not see the effects but just to think about eating healthy. Eating in a way that no matter what my metabolism is, fast or slow, I am healthy.

I found myself this past weekend being so angry and emotional about that food that it almost took over my personality completely! I was irritable, angry and just plain mean about it at times. Food should never have this much control over someone! It is time to take back the control and show food what this body can be made of! Pure power, pure muscle, and pure healthy!

  1. Girl - you hit the nail on the head. As much as we focus on the physical transformation we are trying to make on the outside we have to keep sight that we are doing good things for ourselves on the inside as well. I really had a bad week. Traveling for work which meant I missed 3 days of workouts and just eating plain bad :( It sounds like you might have been angry but that you were able to stay strong which is fantastic! Keep strong and keep positive :) Tomorrow is a new day.
