A revelation...

Okay, food doesn't naturally give me epiphanies; through its absence, it does wonders...Yes, I've decided to lose weight. Some will say I don't need to. Tell that to my three pair of jeans that have been tormented each time I lay a strecth to their stitches. I've basically busted out holes!!!!

So I made a contract with a friend at work. We signed exact copies stating that we'd eat healthier and exercise more. I'll be realistic so don't worry. I won't be signing my name next to Star Jones "secret" diet/not diet fiasco...What does all this reveal ?.....

It's once you've decided on something, committed to something you know is hard to do but worth it in the end, you're suddenly bombarded by temptations!

Take this morning...Been good with eating and exercising the last 3 days, then my mom comes in from the floor below with a Wendy's Frosty!!!! Aggg. Temptation number 1. Then this morning, donuts!!!!! Aggg, temptation 2....Thankfully, temptation 3 didnt manifest itself...All this aggravation over a dress fitting for a friend's wedding!

Anyway, on a more deeper level, I also recently recommitted myself to God. Also hard work but worth it in the end, in this life and thereafter...but always, temptations abound!...Aggggg, the truest test of our self-discipline.

So I pray to God for stamina in both these endeavors....May I stay steadfast and true!

-Peace & light!
