I've been eating more and more like this lately due to my sons food sensitivities...but it's good for the entire family.

I feel like this is wrapped up with my weight loss journey and part of the lessons that the Lord wants me to learn. When I first lost all my excess weight, one of the first things I did was go out and buy a whole new wardrobe (well...I had to, I went from a size 12 to a size 0...yikes). So my vanity lead me to buy the cutesiest and most figure revealing stuff that I could fimd. I could finally fit in a bikini...and isn't that what all dieters are striving for? (where's the slap icon...lol). Then shortly after my weightloss, He brought me to Carmel...and instilled a whole different passion in clothes for me. I just have this attraction for the color Brown! I still like fashionable clothing, but I think there are plenty of options available without bearing it all for the world. Another thing is that I refuse to wear the metalic scapular necklaces...if I can't wear my regular brown scapular under my outfit, then the outfit itself is probably not appropriate for me.
I also believe that this is part of the reason that the Lord allowed the weight to come back on...to protect me when I wasn't willing to protect myself.
By the way...I'm not trying to teach anyone else with this post or convict anyone. These are my own lessons and they've come to me the hard way.

Arrghh!
The day went well until late evening when I ate half of a three musketeer bar and am now paying for it with a tummy ache and nausea. I haven't had one in ages, but hubby bought one for me and for some reason I have a terribly hard time saying no to him or the kids when they offer me food. Yep...another issue to bring to the Lord in prayer.
TW Day 1
I'm going to restart with the Thin Within basic principles of waiting until hunger and stopping at satisfaction. Instead of eating whatever I desire though...I'm going to listen to where the Lord has been leading me in this area. At the moment I'm attempting a sort of version of the Daniel's Fast...mostly vegan, no sugar, only water for drinking.

1-1-11
Seems to me like the perfect opportunity for 're-starts' and new beginnings. So here I stand (or lie...since I'm layed out with a terrible sinus infection at the moment), ready to make some changes in my life. I'm laying my entire life before the Lord on this first day of the year and pray that I don't grab any of it back...ever!
The area of my life that most needs healing from Him is health and energy...not just for me but for my entire family. So that's the first area to be offered up completly and unconditionally. I really mean it, and not as I've done it in the past...'here Lord, I'll offer up how much and when I eat, but please still allow me to eat all the garbage that I WANT!' Nope...I'm now saying to Him, I want to follow your Way and do Your Will...entirely! I've seen how certain foods have affected my son's health and behavior...thank You Lord for showing it to me. Now show me exactly what needs to be done around here. Please guide us on this new adventure. Amen.
