I know that not eating can make the mind not make good decisions either.....that is not something your children need either. One can want to be thin......what I have found that just cutting out my snack food if good for quite a bit of weight.

There are times when I just get lazy & don't feel like cooking for myself....I ate last night...microwaved a meal that I had cooked several days ago & had left overs.....woke up & didn't bother eating this morning.....when I took my shower to change my pain patches today, I almost passed out in the shower....got all shakey....realized that I hadn't eaten today & needed the food....it was the same shakey feeling I had while going through the trauma 5 years ago when I couldn't eat & ended up in the hospital.

It is important to take care of yourself for your children......I don't have children, but I have 6 dogs that are my children & require my attention....the mind forgets to feed them when I don't eat myself...I can loose a day & not even remember that I didn't feed them when I don't bother eating myself.....I have to make sure my priorities are straight....most of the time I am just too lazy to make anything, not because I don't want to eat.....but the effect is the same.....& it ISN'T GOOD!!!!.

Take care of yourself for your children even if you don't care how you take care of yourself.
