I seen on Facebook like yesterday that at a FAMILY event in Chicago, Ill. Trojan will be giving away vibrators!! Are you freaking kidding me? At a family event, it would be different it the was titled as an adult event. Then the parents that tae their kids there are morons. LOL
For Trojan to have them displayed on a cart and a sign that says Free Vibrator Giveaway Today is unnecessary and totally irresponsible for the corporation. What about the parents choice of the appropriate time and place to educated their children about sex? And what if they don't want their 13 year old to learn what a dildo is at this time?! (Yes they are still out there, I have one) I don't understand why adults thinks things like this are okay and I do not like the way the future of our country (well human race actually) is headed. Does no one have any dignity and self-respect anymore? Am I a prude because I prefer not to talk about my sexual relations to people? I understand times change and people change, but why does that have to involve the innocence of our children?! Why allow society to take the one thing we try to preserve until the very last day it's in our control because they can? Where is our right to take our children to family events without the threat of exposing our children to adult material? Why do we have to adjust our way of life so corporations are advertise whatever the hell they want?
I just don't find this fair to the parents that work hard in preserving the innocence of their children and wanting to educate them on their own terms! We cannot allow society to dictate to us when and where our children will be exposed to material that I not age appropriate. The parents have the choice, not society.
My children ask me questions and I do not lie to them, but I do answer with an explanation that is age appropriate and guess what?!! They understand what I told them, are totally satisfied with my answer, and move on or have a follow up question ;) The information may not be what some would like us to tell our children, but the thing is they are ours, not theirs. If they want to give a child false information and mislead them because they think it's best, then by all means go have your own child!
Until next time I leave you with this..... Fitting in is not the way to live your life, being your own person is the way to go. Help your child become the best version of his or herself, not a replication of someone else.

It's been a while.....
Since I have wrote anything about anything, so I figured I would see what I can come up with this morning. I have been working on accepting me for me and trying hard not to let things bring me down. I still don't have a grasp on my emotional eating, but I am trying new techniques to avoid this horrific habit.
One thing I have recently started was eliminating all junk food from my diet. The only thing "junk foody" I have eaten in the past month is birthday cake and that was a tiny piece. You have no idea how big of a deal this is for me, to have junk food as a staple throughout my life and now to not touch any of it. I still buy snacks for my family and it was hard in the beginning, but now I find it's not so bad.
Another thing I started to do is C25K (couch to 5K) the same time I stopped junk food eating. I ended up totally skipping a whole week, so instead of being on week 4, I am on week 3. But hey, I haven't given up!!! Which is a total accomplishment in itself for me, I always end up giving up after a week or two. I found that the jogging/running is a key to me not wanting junk food. This actually makes me feel good inside, my depression has even decreased to the level where I stopped taking my medicine. I hate having to depend on medication, it makes me feel as if I have no control over my life. I do this routine three times a week and the other days I will jog for about 10 minutes, then do cardio and strengthening exercises for 20 minutes.
I still don't understand where the emotional eating began, but I have decided to not dwell on the past and just focus my time and energy on the future. I have so much to be thankful for and so many people that love and believe in me. So, why can't I believe in myself? That's what I am trying to do, believing in myself is something that is alien to me. It's something I am trying to do, even if it's by taking baby steps.
As I am not sure what to write, I will end on tis note..... Everyone thinks they know what is best for you, but the truth is the only person that truly knows is you. Take the time to understand who you are and learn to accept and love you for you. Because if you can't love yourself, then who will?
