I have been complaining about wanting to eat everything under the sun. I haven't eaten too bad, just a lot of food (aside from the cookies I had my husband bring home- and the chips from the Mexican restaurant). However...... Saturday I may have had a fried chicken sandwich, french fries AND cookies. Then the next day I made my way to a crawfish festival with my family. Before we left I looked at Matt and said let's follow the rule "if it's white don't bite" (no white sugar, white flower,ect) we shook hands and walked out the door. Upon arriving at the festival (starving- that's never a good idea) I may have eaten the following: fried shrimp, french fries, pulled steak hoggie sandwich, bites off of a turkey leg, candied pecans, a margarita, peach cobbler with ice cream, oh and some crawfish ........ holy crap.
I wrote up the paragraph above a few days ago and must have been so bogged down by sugar and carbs I couldn't even hit "publish"! Wow, I had a rough weekend followed by Monday....Memorial day....which may have also included fried chicken.....are you asking yourself if I am making this up? Who could/would make a post about CHANGE and how excited I am and how I am walking away from poisoning my body....sharing it with the world, taking over and coming out victorious....only to post that for several days in a row I have been eating a steady diet of fried chicken, cookies and pretty much anything and everything that is horrible for me....WOW, this is real, eh?!
Tuesday, oh happy Tuesday was yesterday.Thank the Lord for a new day. It was a day to be proud of for sure. I think I had enough of the self sabotage, and waking up with my fingers feeling like stuffed sausages that I put on my big girl panties (sort of had to after all the fried chicken and cookies), got my mind right and actually ate good, real, yummy food AND made my way to Krav Maga.....What??! I did a whole day of eating healthy AND I worked out? YES I DID!!!
I do believe that essential oils absolutely help, but I realized they do not override our ability and responsibility as adults and some how take over and force us make good choices. They help, they guide, they lend a hand....but they do not take over your mind and turn you into a pre-programed health machine.I guess that is what I was looking for, hoping for. I wanted the easy way out, who doesn't? However, I should remind myself that anything great is worth working for, easy come easy go, and the saying I love so much "never give up on a dream you think of everyday".....actually living healthy and balanced, not just day dreaming about it is something I think about everyday! Being a good example for my girls is something I think about everyday....so I will not give up, I will keep using my oils as a helping hand, who doesn't need a little help, right?
Here is to letting grace win.....
