Weighing in

I weighed in yesterday (after Sunday's awfulness) at 13:6 stone.  All day yesterday, I felt yuck and annoyed at myself, but started to realise that self-flagellation doesn't fix a thing.  In the end, the only thing that matters, that really matters to God, is getting up again and starting over, each time I fail.

So yesterday's eating was all about a new approach; thoughtful eating. 

I eat too often without thinking, eat in front of the tv, eat on the move and rarely do I stop to savour and enjoy.  And oh, I never, ever say grace either.  Sounds like a small, religious sort of thing to do...but what if 'grace' was just that, a prayer before meals to have the grace to eat well and not over-indulge?   

Anyway, feel somewhat better today, and this morning, had shifted 2lbs of yesterday's horror weight, bringing me in at 13:4.

Read my Bible this morning and Proverbs 14:29 (AMP version) jumped out at me;

He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who is hasty of spirit exposes and exalts his folly. [Prov. 16:32; James 1:19.] (Proverbs 14:29 AMP)

Hasty of spirit.  This is the part I am thinking about, in conjunction with eating. When eating is a hasty affair, with little thought to the size, content or value of what I'm about to shovel in, it becomes a problem.   Hasty of spirit...I like that thought and am going to tuck it away, for a later point in the journey.

P.s have put the scales away now till Friday. No more obsessive weigh ins.  Can I wait that long???
