Frustrated

I have worked our butts off today getting things ready for a yard sale tomorrow.
Since I had to return something to the store I thought I would get some fudge bars or fruit bars as a treat. I was looking for inexpensive as I am still waiting for a travel reimbursement from work. I found 3 or 4 things to my daughter. These were things that I could eat at 90 or fewer calories and not a lot of sugar or fat.
She kept pointing out all these other things that she liked better.
I have explained MULTIPLE times that my diet has changed and I am not buying a half gallon of blue bunny ice cream or hagendaz, etc... she is usually really good about the changes and has seen her weight go from 133 to 126. And a size 7 to a 5.
I ended up walking away from her. I was angry. I buy her things she likes and I struggle to stay out of them. All I wanted was a freekin fudge bar. I could have spent more money and got both but I didnt.
I think I am pouting, lol.

OK MOM!  First thing you need to let her know is YOUR the mom and she is the daughter and you have made the decision to do what is best for your family.  If she doesn't want what you need to succeed, she can buy her own when your not around.  You need her support.  You don't say how old she is but, it wouldn't matter to me.  (Yeah, I'm a bad ass.)

She's 15. And the last child at home.
I could have, and usually would have gone that direction with her. Although, honestly she is usually super good about this sleeve business.
I just cant figure out if I was tired & cranky so I didnt handle it well, or if she really was being bratty.
I did read her the riot act. Reminding her I am still working this all out and expect that she be a bit more flexable with both budget and food choices.
But, part of me thinks this 51 year old was channeling a cranky 2 yr. Old

I have a 15 yo daughter too. She can be amazingly supportive one moment, and a complete flake the next. I think it is 15 yo girl territory. When I am tired and at the end of my rope, I get flaky, too. It sounds like you guys were just not at your best- nobody communicating well, etc. perhaps have a rehash after everyone is in a different place mentally?

It's so hard not to get frustrated when you're working your butt off (literally) and really just want a little understanding & support.  But I swear the understanding and support gene does not develop until our kids have kids of their own sometimes! 

Hang in there...you are doing great and are probably going through a little cranky phase (I have them once in a while since surgery).  So many changes, in such a short time, can mess with your inner peace button!

Thanks for the support. Do u have a fudge bar ?
Lol...!

Luckily mine is 5 almost 6.  She is pretty flexible when it comes to treats.  They all look good to her!  Luke and I (mostly I) have been talking to her at mealtimes about what is healthy to eat and what is not.  She has my genes and his, and we both have problems with our weight.  I want her to be healthy growing up too.  Luckily she is at an age where we can change her eating habits.  I find the biggest thing we have had to teach her is how to chew her food completely and put her fork down between bites. BTW I have a fudge bar, but I am pretty sure it will melt as soon as I walk out in this Texas heat!

Thanks. I appreciate the thought.
I was lucky that my kids have always been great eaters. They all enjoy yogurt, salads, etc...
I did a great job with them but a crappy job with myself.

Ain't that always the way though? We moms almost never take care of our own needs.

I am like you with my kids! We spend a great deal of time talking about healthy foods, and mommy getting healthy. They seem to respect I cant eat certain foods (I am impressed with my little boys... they are only 3 and 5).Luckily, they do seem to have my husband genes... skinny little things! Have you ever seen a 5 year old with a six pack? Mine has it! lol and I have no idea how... My husband, however...haha now he IS trying to get healthy by going to the gym, but his eating habits are terrible... even though he now adds a salad to his days full of chips, subs, fast food, and pizza. lol I think once I am able to eat meats we will all eat differently because I wont have to make my own little slop while they have dinner. I will be able to make us all very tastey low carb foods. I have some great recipes! I just need to get use to cooking... I hate daily cooking... LOVE specialty cooking like christmas and thanksgiving... I make great meals! BUT every day cooking... hate it! Hate it SO much... if our family ever makes over a certain income (which could happen in a few years when my husband and I are both working) I will be getting a cook of some sort. lol I would rather have a cook than a fancy house! haha
