Since January of this year (2 weeks after my littlest was born) I've been ATTEMPTING to attend the local Monday morning WW meeting, which is the only designated Mommy & Me WW meeting in my area. I try, each and every Monday, just to make it to the meeting w/ a 3.5 year old, a nearly 2 year old, and my now 8 month old and some days we just dont make it out the door. Half the time, however, we manage to make it to the meeting only to have me leave in completel frustration because
1) I'm seeing very little, if any (sometimes its a gain....like today, up 1.2), weight loss and
2) The kids are just too much to manage
On the rare days we do make it through I reward the older kids with fun prizes like stickers and stamps. we havent seen one of these days in an extremely long time.
Today I left after 15 mins because the little one was ready for a nap and didnt want to sleep in his carseat, the older one woke up WAY to early this morning and was super cranky so he kept yelling at the nearly 2 year old and then coming to sit on my lap and suck his thumb, and then the nearly 2 year old decided to flat out step on the back of a 10 month old girl crawling around. I have never seen her do anything like this and I know she did it on purpose. Of course I snatched her up, apologized, scurried out of there as quickly as I could and reprimanded her.
I came home and promptly put all of them down for a nap and started to raid the pantry. I calmed myself down and am now sitting here at the computer crying and feeling so frustrated. I have tried and tried for 8 months to make this meeting work and am now giving up.
Its time for me to step up and make the weight loss happen on my own because I absolutely refuse to show up there again only to the kids ruin my day (frustration to me = eating) and ruin everyone else'e meeting.
Thanks for letting me vent. Instead of eating out of anger/frustration I'm typing this and already I feel much better!
