Does anyone else feel like they have a cranky toddler living inside them?

@amymoreorless Guess your husband knows that your toddler needed a snack and a timeout!

One day last summer, I cried because I wanted a milkshake. It was Friday and my husband was taking the kids to Wendy's for frostys. I didn't WANT a frosty. I WANTED a real milkshake. But I didn't have the calories for that, either, and I wasn't willing to "waste" them on a milkshake on a Friday, since I wanted to blow some surplus calories later that weekend. So really - there was nothing to be done.

So I cried. I think there may have been some hormones at work, too.

I'm so hangry I'm half way choking back tears. So tired. So hungry. Last leg of the race. It has been a long, difficult year. The inner toddler is having a melt down and all I can do is be an adult about it.

I'm SO GLAD I'm not the only one who has flat out cried over being hungry/having a craving. Good grief, dieting + hormones is almost too much for a person to deal with!

Lay offa my stuff. ) I agree my son is 17 6 ft 3 inches and 150 pounds, and he's a long distance runner and can eat anything he wants but always goes for my coke Zero to drink at night while studying. My toddler is a monster in the morning without caffeine.

Omg! We are living parallel lives! I have a 17 yr old son with almost the same height/weight. He has a cabinet full of junk food, and what do I find in his bedroom? One of my Quest bars--with ONE bite taken out of it, then thrown in the trash! Arrrrrgh! You have all kinds of junk food at your disposal, and you have to get into my food?! I spent $2.29 on that thing, and you took one bite and threw it away?! I started to tell him that if he had microwaved it, he would have liked it a lot more. Then I realized I would be encouraging him to eat more of my Quest bars, so I quickly shut up! Lol

Lol only one bite I would have murdered him! Today Melinda is mad that the scale is up 3 pounds from yesterday. Um we pigged out on popcorn, pizza, and alcohol! Give the salt time to settle!

Today's tantrum was about not wanting to go to the shop and wanting my boyfriend to stay with me instead of going to work so we could spend all day doing nothing lol. I've gotten so much more needy and spoilt since dieting it's ridiculous.

Oh yes, and acknowledging this fact has helped me a ton. Does a toddler like to hear no? Nuh uh! But does the toddler still have to deal with the limitations imposed?? You bet! So I just talk to that inner tantrum thrower and tell her to stfu.
