2022 Resolutions List

[NH Homesteader]

Today is, mom’s had it and half your toys are getting put away day. I can’t deal anymore. Only a few things are staying out and they’re being rotated. Most toys are going up high where toddlers have to ask for them. I’ve tried the casual chill mom thing and it’s not working.

New decluttering phase here:

After removing most of DS6's toys, he started raiding the basement and finding sh*t I didn't know we had. (and some good stuff too). I don't need to go find the clutter, he brings it to me.

I'm failing at the eating well thing. I didn't make a resolution because I had been eating well. I cannot say that is true in the last 3 weeks. I still feel okay. So much easier to make healthy choices when the other ones cause instant pain.

Have fallen down on sit ups. Too damned tired, even when I wake up. Getting plenty of exercise though! LOL

as mentioned a bit ago, I backslid on food. I read Hooked. (I intended to get a different book by the same name, but ended up with the book I needed!)

It was insight on why I fell so hard for junk food again. I learned that what food we like and what we want are not the same, and that we like what we eat rather than what we like. 😲 thats helpful!

I need to go back to stratgeies that have worked for me in the past: separate food from marketing (repackage food into canning jars) and eliminate "natural flavors" which are the ingredients that have addictive characteristics.

I need to change some habits - I was bribing DS6 with a strawberry sundae from DQ after school but ordered for myself too often. I took him to the grocery store and let him pick out anything from the ice cream aisle. He picked twin popsicles - those are safe from me! I need to keep my kitchen clean (no food visible) because I'm very suggestible and feel hungry when I notice a food package.

I know that by changing these habits and routines and eliminating "natural flavors" my eating will shift back to healthy. And at some point my taste perception will shift back to normal so that junk food tastes vile again.

Spent about 2 hours in the basement. Have about a full trash can pile of stuff sitting off to the side. Did not find the rest of my canning jars yet
