Well its Friday. THANK THE LORD! Its been a long week. Work is slow, no one is busy, making the days drag on. Thankful I have a job for sure though. Its amazing how boredom can cause one to eat. I am trying to talk myself through cravings. Asking myself when I ate last, what I ate, should I be hungry, am I just thirsty, bored? I say it helps about half the time, but its slowly helping me to realize that most of the time I WANT to eat, I am not even hungry. Most of the time bored or have made it part of my routine (popcorn while watching tv after dinner!)
I am reading the book Made to Crave. If any of you are reading I would love to hear your thoughts on it, if your not, check it out. ITS AMAZING! She gives you lots of ways to help battle the weak moments and tons of scripture to repeat to yourself to get through. Lysa TerKeurst (author of Made to Crave) was on a local radio station today and had said "I am more powerful than my taste buds!". So true!! She was talking about grabbing for a brownie, saying ok, my hips don't need this, my butt doesn't need this, my stomach isn't hungry for this, so it has to be my taste buds. My tiny little taste buds...I am definitely more powerful than they are!
I have started weighing in each week with a group of ladies from church. Every Saturday morning, we meet, pay 1$ (for the biggest loser to win every few months) and weigh in. Then we chat about our weeks, what helped us, any recipes we might have to share etc. We were going good before Christmas and took a few weeks off due to the chaos of peoples schedules. Tomorrow we are back on, I know I am going to show a gain from the last weigh in we had, probably a lb or so. But I know I have done better in the past few weeks than I have in a while, so I will take the gain and move on!
Heard a great quote this morning from "I am more powerful than my taste buds"!
