I am so upset right now I can hardly speak. Last night my daughter, almost 15, got drunk for the first time while out with her friends. When my husband and I went to pick her up she was crying and saying how sorry she was and that she felt so much pressure to be skinny!!!! I feel sick!!!! I let her eat whatever she wants but if she comes grocery shopping with me I guess she sees me reading label for sugar content, etc. She dances competitively and she's at the age where girls naturally gain weight in their hips and get curvy. She has a great, strong figure but she's no longer a little boy shape! Nothing wrong with that! I've just been reacting to her talk about wanting to stay in shape so I was thinking I was helping by making South Beach foods for the whole family. I had no idea she would take this to mean I was somehow disappointed in her weight!!! My job is to be a good mother and when something like this happens it is devastating. I have made it a point not to talk weight in the house but just good eating and when I see my kids ordering pizza and pop with their friends one night(they have jobs so it's usually their own money) and then sugar cereal for breakfast and fast food for lunch, I'm going to say "hey, how about I make you guys a spinach salad with grilled chicken and mushrooms?" Is that so wrong? I think Samantha just blamed me for her stupid drinking mistake so she wouldn't get into as much trouble but it really hurts. Thanks for letting me vent here. Being a mom can be such a thankless job at times.

I got a cute haircut yesterday and it reminded me of something a girlfriend said when our kids were really little and we were in the midst of losing baby weight. She said it's really important to get up and put a bit of effort into your appearance because it just makes you feel good and that contributes to wanting to stick to your regime. Even if you're in the house all day with the screaming baby you should try to take 5 minutes to fix your hair and put on some makeup. I find when I don't do this, just go straight into my little painting room, I have a hard time getting inspired and I feel like any minute the no-talent police are going to come and haul me away. So, today I'm grateful to have girlfriends, here and online, who are so cool and supportive. I raise a glass of sparkling apple juice to you all!
