Quick update...
That little ditty going through my head last week has changed. We were in Sam's last night and while passing temptation after temptation, I didn't feel tempted. The phrase that popped in my head was "I'm free!" It felt so good to be able to walk past these things and feel grateful that they no longer held me prisoner.
I hope you don't think I'm bragging - I'm not. This is nothing that I'm doing. I share it with you because I'm feeling incredulous at the complete change of view, attitude, outlook or whatever.
Now please don't misunderstand - I could have had real trouble with Christopher's french-fries tonight at Wendy's. I grabbed a couple and they were wonderful. Hot, fresh and cooked to perfection. It wasn't easy to stop there - but I did - that wouldn't have happened even a few weeks ago. I am not a disciplined person. The power of will is a stranger to me.
God is giving me the tools I need to do this. Prayer and praise. Mindset. Weight Watchers. The Beck Diet Solution.
I used Christmas money to buy a Gazelle Glider exerciser. My husband put it together for me today (actually he rescued it from me - I'm not really mechanical). Maybe a year from now my youngest daughter won't have to ask if it's strong enough for me to be on.
Every moment is a chance for change, a baby step, a "do-over".
Here's to better choices!
