Having a Tough (Mother's) Day

Mother's Day has always been tough for me.  I've never really had a great relationship with my own mom.  My mom has been out of my life for 3 years.  Even though it's been 3 years of no one openly rooting for me to fail, making up lies about me, and complaining that I don't buy them expensive enough stuff (no one in that house works, by the way), it still hurts. 

Every year for Mother's Day, my birthday, or Christmas, all I ask for is a lie free day.  In 15 years, I've never gotten it.  Usually, it's accompanied by theft.  My husband and kids can be pretty self centered, which gets to me.  Although I wish I could prioritize myself more.  I probably wouldn't weigh as much as I do now.  I have to clean up their constant messes and problems, so I come last.

This time of year was definitely the wrong time to start over trying to lose weight.  Despite feeling hungry all week (making me a little cranky, if you can't tell) and walking daily, I'm up 7 pounds.  This usually happens when I start working out, building muscle and all.  It's temporary, but still sucks.
