Emotional Eating

Monday started out strong and fresh. Like a brand new start in my challenge. It was amazing. Then, during naptime, my dear friend gave me some devastating news. Now, I never thought I was an emotional eater, or at least I never admitted it to myself, but Monday, I realized that I am. Soon after the call... I walked past the bag of chips I keep in the house for my husbands sanity. I don't like chips, so it is easy to keep around and my hubby doesn't' feel deprived. Anyway, I walked by and thought... OOOOH, I NEED those! Wait! What? No, I grabbed that thought, named it what it was... and realized that I am in for a long wild, emotional ride these next 18 weeks (of the T.com challenge). I am ready for God to use me and I cannot wait to see myself at the end. I am ready. I am so sad how it will come to be, but I am ready for God to make a change.

I can not tell you how much you will grow from it though, no matter how it hurts. I grew sooo much during my transformation - guess what - God is not near finished with my growing. It was getting easy. Not that He brought me to this storm ONLY for that reason, but I know He is drawing me nearer and nearer to Him, and that might not have happened otherwise.
Go and Grow my friend. Your inner beauty will blind us!
