A real attitude change


So lunch with my bosses and co-worker yesterday went pretty well. I ordered broiled haddock with squash and potatoes. Let me say, the Sole Proprietor is AWESOME! Anyway, I slowly ate my lunch and I took longer than anyone at the table. It was really hard because the haddock was falling apart and the squash and potatoes were both mashed so there wasn't much chewing I needed to do. Then I ordered cheesecake for dessert. Okay so now for the good and bad news. I finally felt my body tell me when I was done. Then I just kept eating because I didn't want to see a good (great) piece of cheesecake to go to waste. So I wasn't stuffed but I definitely over ate. I am happy however in the progress that I have made thus far.

Also, last night was my piano recital. Afterward, there was plenty of goodies. I had no urge for any of them (even the chocolate chip cookies!) but I did have a couples pieces of the veggie platter. I was very proud of myself. I then went home and had a small bowl of chicken noodle soup and one macaroon. I am very happy with the way that my attitude is changing.

Okay, so now I have another challenge tonight. I am looking forward to our prayer circle before eating because this will be a challenge for me. We are having a spaghetti dinner made by an Italian woman. I might really have a hard time if she makes her meatballs. I love real Italian meatballs! Although, I should be okay after we pray. I trust that God will help me through this and give me something to celebrate (as Dianna says).

Well, Dianna (and Jane if you are by chance reading this), I will see you tonight.
