Take control of your life by working around your family schedule when you can. Take an occasional early day to pick up your kids at school. Visit an ice cream shop for a special treat. Your kids will remember you being there for them.

Sometimes putting what we feel on paper helps us get through it. Write a letter to yourself (or to someone no longer here!). Say how you feel. Let the tears fall. Then close it up and stick it on a shelf. You can open and reread it anytime. You'll find your feelings are easier to bear each time.
Or any other day of the week, but eat at your favorite restaurant occasionally. Alone or with someone else, just do it! You'll enjoy the experience and get a full tummy, too!
Eat a candy bar! Skip your workout! Tell your kids you need to use the bathroom, and read a magazine instead (peace and quiet!!). Just don't do it too often. It can be habit forming!
Mathematicians call this congruency. Let who you are be what other people see. Don't fake it. Be kind but be honest, and you'll like yourself better for it.
