It breaks my heart that I'll be playing with the baby and then all of a sudden have an urge to find my phone and play my candy mania game or check my social media apps.
I won't have many years with my kid I mean she is only a kid once! And in a few short years she will be a teen and playing blocks and cars with mommy won't be "cool" anymore.
Snuggling on the couch watching Mickey Mouse won't be an option. And I will have wasted so many previous years for what?!? I mean the game isn't going anywhere. Social media for the most part is a waste of time.
I like keeping up with people and I like hearing about others journey and sharing my own weightloss journey here and IG but I need to start weening myself off of the phone.
I'm saying it here so I have to stick to it, right? :)
I will not be on my phone between the hours of 5pm-8pm. The baby usually goes to bed about 8-8:30pm. Then I workout and usually go to bed about 10-ish.
I just waste so much free time, if you will, distracted from the most important people in my life. And that really disturbs me mentally and physically. I don't want the baby to ever feel like she is not important because she is.
When I was growing up we didn't have cellphones, iPads, laptops, etc.
We had a desk top for a few years but all you could do was basically play Tetris on it. We had tv but only limited channels. My parents were so consumed with themselves and their addictions (pills, alcohol, etc) that we didn't feel important or very loved. And I never want my child
to feel the way I did. So I'm going to change while she's little.
