Day 237

Wednesday 24th August 2016

I have realised recently that I am a lot calmer than I used to be. 

Last year I used to lose my temper or get in a mood really quickly. I had a low tolerance threshold. I am one of these people when things get to much I can’t cope. Anything anybody would ask me would get me distressed 

Kids can be really annoying sometimes but on these occasions I would act a little unreasonable. I have acted that way with Matt too

I was like a boiling kettle getting hotter and hotter until eventually I hit boiling point and I had to let off steam. 


The only way I coped with it was by going to bed when I felt like that. 

If I think back my family had to put up with a lot. If I think about it now though it must have all been because of my weight and the fact that I was tired all the time. Letting off steam was a very common occurrence back then. 

Matt and the boys have this look they give to each other that said “she’s off on one again” and they knew to leave me alone. 

I have thought that I haven’t had one of these episodes in a long time. No mood swings, no losing my temper. I have to say it’s been a happier house all round.

The kids can still be really annoying but I seem to be able to cope a little better with it now.
