Some random thoughts I've been tossing around in my brain the last couple of days. I figure I'll just spew them out here and see if they make any sense.
So, it's a little comical to me that I've eaten like a "skinny person" for all of two-ish weeks now and I am frustrated that I don't already look like a "skinny person".
I wonder if I'm the only one that feels like after a few days of eating like a Health Food Rock Star I should be a size 2. I mean, I feel like a size 2. Well, okay, I probably don't seeing as I've never been a size 2. ;)
But, it's really true. I've spent my entire life, so, you know, 40 some years eating my way to where I am. Of course it seems perfectly logical that after two weeks I should be at least two sizes down in jeans, right? ;)
I know that's all crazy talk. But, that crazy talk really does live in my head. I really do have thoughts like that working to defeat me and make me feel like this is all not even worth it since I don't see some big show for my efforts.
I need to get my eyes off myself and my body and back on my Creator. HE made me. HE made this food I thrive on. HE directed me to seek and learn and find His path. HE is at work in me and through me so that I will draw closer to HIM in this time of struggle, effort, and endurance. This is all about Him becoming GREATER in my mind, heart, soul, and THEN body, and me becoming less.
It makes so much sense. Truth, truth, truth. I love it, and I needed it!
