I know and that URKS the heck out of me! I NEEDED chips last week, in the worst way. So there I was holding low sodium Lays in one hand and Light Lays in the other. I opted for the low sodium and just worked around the calories...but it just doesn't make sense. I had the same dilemna with Triscuits. :rolleyes: These companies are blooming IDIOTS, idiots I tell ya!
 
I didn't do bad! I guess I worked that off! Too bad I discovered my butt was still there!! Lol I really thought I worked it off!!:D
 
Hello Ohappy,
I learn alot from reading diaries I am telling ya!
I used to think well I don't like salt or chips anythink along that nature
so I figured no sodium worries but it seems to be lingering everywhere!
It's hard to keep up with that to I am already watching calories& fat! I am trying to keep an eye out on sodium to.Well hope your having a TERRIFIC
TUESDAY OHAPPYDAY! Tammy

Hi Tammy, Glad to see ya! I know what you mean about the sodium. I never gave it too much thought before and even once I started changing my eating habits I didn't think it was an issue. You figure you're watching fat and calorie intake you're doing good. I stopped using my shaker and was thinking I was in good shape until I read someone's diary (Mal's I think) and was reading about sodium and water weight gain. Next thing you know I'm noticing LOADS of it in EVERYTHING! It was quite depressing. It makes me wanna soak and/or boil everything before eating it. :p

I went through a very similar situation. I let my daughter's father use and manipulate me for a long time...I let him do it out of guilt. I wanted to give her "a family" like I had, mom, dad, dogs, etc. But I realized that he wasn't ready to grow up and staying with him was hurting more than it was helping. Because I was teaching her that that was what love was, that that's how a man should treat the woman he loves and I couldn't do that to her. I don't want her growing up and finding a man just like her dad and thinking she doesn't deserve any better. So I had to let the fantasy go and do what was really best for her.

Whenever I'd date someone else he'd pull the "I want my family back, let's get married" BS, but it was just to control me because as soon as the new guy went away so did he.

He's a half-assed dad (and that's being generous). I told him to stop toying with her, either be a REAL dad or leave her alone because he doesn't understand the damage he's doing to her and I see it everyday with the girls I work with. It makes my job as mother THAT much harder because I'm combatting society AND all the wrong ideas she's forming as a result of his idiotic behavior. I will NOT participate in the reering of yet another girl/young woman with trust and self-esteem issues because of a sorry ass man! Its hard but I do all I can to combat his negativity from positive male relationships (my dad, positive male friends), I send her flowers for her birthday, celebrate her whenever and for whatever...because if I don't do the stuff that a dad should do the first time some little boy says she's pretty or buys her something she's going to be willing to do whatever she feels it takes to keep him. She is a precious gift and dammit she's going to know it. No "missing daddy" syndrome for my baby because her mother happened to fall in love with an asshole. *sigh* Dang...sorry TLA, I just realized that I just went off on a tangent and told all my business. :eek: :p

Oh well...it's too much to delete. lol Just know that you're not alone honey, but it will get better. Just be strong and whatever you do don't let him know that he's hurting you. That's what he wants, don't give him the satisfaction. *big hug*

Believe it or not, while I know that you are very sincere...this cracked me up. I needed a little chuckle.

Most of 'em do suck, but I'm trying to keep the faith and believe that there are some good ones out there. I just didn't love myself enough to attract those good ones before, but I do now...so they'd better start lining up dammit! :p :p :p

I have a refrigerator magnet that a buddy of mine gave me after a certain boy treated me in a such away that no person deserves to be treated... the magnet says - Boys are Stupid - throw rocks at 'em... :D it's my prized possession :D
 
I hear ya woman...I have an asshole magnet...and he knew what I didnt want and made it a reality I held very little close to me...I have been a single mom since 16 and he just ruined it all for me but hey...some people get kicks from hurting others...

and yes mal...thanx for that smile...

Yea...you're right, he is an asshole. I try to take comfort in the fact that while I may not be a witness to it, Eric will pay for what he has done to both of us. Karma is a b**** and he'll get what's coming to him....they both will!...at least I hope so. I know that's bad to say...but it's the truth. :eek:
