A yummy (and happier and healthier) mummy - for good this time!

Oh Lisa, sounds like you've had a tough day! You are definitely not a bad parent, children through tantrums all the time. Ignore other parents... I hate that others are so quick to judge!
Well done for getting back on the wagon after the weekend and don't beat yourself up about it... we all have those off days... me especially! xxx

Reece got tired and threw the biggest tantrum I've seen from him in the middle of the playground because he couldn't go on the swings. I had parents tutting at me and i felt bad for my friend because she was getting glared at due to association.
I felt embarrassed and ashamed because i couldn't calm Reece down straight away and like a bad parent. It was awful and i cried when i got home.

Ahh, Lisa! This sounds all too familiar to me! My little guy can be such a drama queen when he's not getting his own way!
I have to be honest... I don't get as embarrassed or upset as I used to when I went thru the same thing with my daughter - the looks from other people, while it was happening, really bothered me!
Usually, I find other parents are pretty sympathetic and will give you a smile if you make eye contact with them - sadly, it's the older people that seem to be tutting... Why is that? Have they forgotten what it's like to raise a toddler?
 
Thanks again ladies!! Reece has been much better today- still a challenge at the moment but nowhere near as bad as yesterday :)

Had my hair and makeup trial this evening! Loving the hair but a little bewildered with the makeup- i think i look completely different but maybe thats because i don't generally wear much makeup anyway...

Might post a shot and please be honest if i look a little fake (i think i may need to sort out my eyebrows and im a little worried that i have hair on my upper lip...!!! Eeek! But i might just be being paranoid- i hope! Damn insecurities!)

I think you look lovely Lisa- and quite the opposite of fake! It looks really natural- your complexion is gorgeous & there's just the right amount of glow!
I can't see any hair on your upper lip though I agree you could thin/groom your eyebrows just a smidge. Nothing too drastic (hate this 'HD brows' phase) but just a little tidy up :)
Was your beauty lady nice? I'm quite worried about this lol.
Welcome to the green side ;-) the extra hexes get addictive don't they lol x
 
Haha Rosie! I hate fake eyebrows so rebel by not plucking.
My beauty girl was lovely- although she is a friend of a friend (who i took along with me) so that made it easier as an icebreaker.
And thanks girls! The more I look at the pictures the more I like the make up :) Also found out my ring has arrived in the shop! Not collecting it until h2bs has arrived too though! Starting to get excited now!!

Also starting to get a cold :( Runny nose, dry slightly cracked lips and a dull headache bit trying not to comfort eat the junk!!

Reece is great thanks Jade. Definitely in the "everything is mine" stage but getting better at giving things back when asked!! He's so funny- makes me laugh constantly and is so affectionate at the moment that I cant complain :)

Went to the cinema yesterday- took Reece to see his first movie :) Was expensive to see just one hour of Peppa Pig (especially considering only one episode was new!) but he loved it and was so well behaved. Was clapping and pointing out the characters on the screen. Too cute.

Haha Rosie- was definitely that F&Bs trip that made me wana buy the gnocchi.
Have a quick google- loads of recipes came up including a very tasty looking veggie one with tomato and spinach.
Mine was lovely but if i made it again id probably add a little more paprika or chilli for a kick, and more cheese! And add the cherry tomatoes in later so they had more of a bite...

Thanks for the congrats! Was lovely seeing a lower number on the scales!

Came home sick from work today- feel so weak with this cold bug and have a migraine and temperature to top it off :(
