On those tough days when the kids burn you out - stress eating is inevitable. It's just reality. When that happens - focus on what you DIDN'T eat and the little victories.

Little victories, that is all you can focus on. If you look at the big goal you'll just get demotivated. I am a visual thinker ... and there are a couple quotes from Michelangelo that have always helped me stay focused on the right things ...
