Found my transfer addiction

[amytug 996]

Well it's not TOO terrible! It's not shopping til I drop. Too poor for that. It's not smoking : been there and done that as a teen. It's not drugs: I got surgery to make me healthier.

It's baking. And cooking. I LOoooove looking through cook books, especially the old church type or "my grandmas favorite recipes" types and finding yummy goodness to bake. The whole process from reading, imagining the steps, buying the ingredients, laying everything out, Mixing it all up, the smells floating through the house, My children and husband giving me a rating on a five star scale, Smiles on happy chocolate covered faces, cleanup, all of it.

Only bad part is, I've been making mostly junk and I'm working so hard to keep it out of my body and now km feeding it to Mu family more than ever before. I just have so Let's extra time now as a stay at home mom who's not eating all day, so I want to do this entire process about four times a week.mostly sweets, I don't like cooking as much as baking. I have 6 picky-ish eaters and a hubby who will eat anything so I like I stick to basic stuff for them really.

Note to self: find healthier things to mix in the kitchen.

OMG I would die if I spent my time baking!

(Well I would die a slow death anyway of gaining more and more)

AGREED! I wanted to (figuratively) murder every single one of my neighbors when I smelled the grills being fired up yesterday. I can't imagine baking a cake right now. Unless I planned to use it as a pillow. For my face.

Maybe you could make some healthy treats for the fam, like homemade Protein Bars with oatmeal or something like that? Even if they don't have a weight problem, it could still affect their health. Maybe try something crafty, like making jewelry or knitting? Volunteering somewhere? PT job?

Lol I'm actually not eating this stuff. This Happened before when I was doing low carb too. I just live vicariously through Mu family. It IS very strange because my biggest problem was (is) sweets. I AM crazy. Lol

[makemyownluck 785]

I AM crazy. Lol

Well... at least you know what you are. :)

Smart. And my husband and myself and both of our families are overweight and his side of the family seems to be dropping like flies from cancer. I really need to find a new hobby. Never been too crafty. Exercise is growing on me but I don't know that I'll ever call it a hobby. . I REALLY want to paint the rooms in my house, but no money for that. Hrm. Been cleaning the yard ...... Hrm

Yeah my mom was and is a feeder, I think she went from being kind of big, to stuffing other people.. She gets some kind of joy out of it.,

I do hobbies.. I like making things I get pretty consumed when I find something to make.

Oh man, I'm already addicted to knitting... thank goodness I have a deal with my husband that I don't buy any yarn unless I have a project for it!

That's exactly what's happening. I don't wanna love them with food. and just because they are active now doesn't mean they will be when thy are 30, working a desk job. (Or whatever) then they would have to break old addictions themselves when they grow up. They don't need happy childhood memories of sitting around the table eating. I don't want them to grow up an have warm fuzzies associated with food. What am I doing?

Must. Stop.

I need to work this hard on finding HEALTHY lowish carb recipes we can eat as a family. I usually don't eat what they are having and it stinks.

Amy you will be fine, and your family will be fine!

You know what your doing, and you are making thoughtful choices. Along the way.
