It was a good weekend. I can't believe I am saying that. I had decided to just take things as they come and not try too hard to make things happen. I ate right most of the weekend. I did not overeat nor did I eat over stress.
On the way up, I was telling Honey that I felt like I had a roaring lion in my stomach and that I could not calm it except with food. We talked about it and I got a healthy snack and we prayed about. The lion got quieter. It did not dawn on me until I was working on my CBS study that Satan has been compared to a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. What a revelation for me.
We got home in time for me to go to my OA meeting last night and I really needed it. To know I am not the only one who struggles on a daily basis with this issue is so helpful. To know this can be arrested, not cured, but arrested is comforting.
I learned I can not eat Mexican food in control, let me add expecially the chips that come before the meal. I need a better plan for this type of meal as I know it will happen again. Fortunately, this was Oklahoma Mexican food (The Mom knows what I am talking about) so the beans and rice were not the greatest.
Today I have a ton of errands to do. I need to get going. I will post again tonight about today. I have already planned my food for the day and I can't wait to post tonight. I love you all and could feel your prayers for my behalf this weekend. That is truly a blessing to know you all!!!
Love you,
Athena
