Everest is still winning !!

Well i keep getting nagged about updating this blog by a certain someone (you know who you are!) so i guess that is what i am doing. So if you do not want to read a few paragraphs from me moaning i recommend you stop reading right now, because i have nothing good to report.
I think i just have to accept that i am unable to stick to anything. Just the slightest bit of stress and i go off the rails.  I guess Everest will have to wait a bit longer!  I have to weigh myself tomorrow but i am not expecting it to be good news. Anyway i will start again (again!) and see if i can get any good results over the next week - time is going so fast it should be easy to be controlled with my eating, but it isn't. Food is taking over my life, i was trying to unimportantise food but counting points and/or calories is becoming  a continuous never ending obsession. 
I am spending so much time cooking healthy meals that i am letting other jobs fall by the wayside and now things in the house are out of control. I have no idea what is wrong with me, most people can run a family and  a home with great success but it seems to take me all my time, leaving very little time to do stuff for myself. Then it all gets on top of me and the healthy eating goes out of the window.
I think i must get tough and start running a tighter ship - i think it  maybe time to take the advise given to me by someone who has had many more years experience of living than myself. He thinks i need to be tougher on my family and get them to clear up their own mess and try to maintain the work i do. So i will try it - those kiddies will wish they had stayed at school! I will stay very calm but just make them understand that it is impossible for me to continuously sort things out for 6 people. And i dont care how long it takes - i have got to get some help or i wont be here to pick up after them anymore, then they will have to do it themselves! I really do have to get selfish if i am going to beat this.
