Remember that story in the bible when God made the sun stand still to give Gideon more time to defeat the Moabites? Well, He's done it again! This weekend felt like a week to me. I know the first few weeks of changing my life aren't supposed to be easy, but this is a little ridiculous. My plan was to stay away from the enemy (sweets).
First I was asked to buy fudge for the visitor gifts at church. This involved walking into what used to be described as Heaven, but with one life decision became Hell. Not only did I have to purchase the delectable goodness, but I had to cut it up and wrap it for the individual visitor boxes. I did NOT have a bite, but I think I do remember licking the knife after I was done. Does that count as having a piece? LOL
It haven't had to buy fudge for the church in 5 years. Why this weekend? Is this all a cruel joke?
My next assignment, not 24 hours past my first temptation, which I'm not sure I really passed, was to purchase cookies for the kids party on Sunday night. I made my choice quick, and didn't linger in the bakery long enough to take in the sights. I think I even held my breath as to not be tempted by the sweet aromas. Okay, I know I'm making this sound like I have no control. Usually I do, but since I made this decision to change my life three days ago, I have been SOOO hungry, and craving sweets so bad I want to cry. LOL I think I'm going through withdrawls. Anyway, after church I walked through the foyer to find all my friends chowing down on the remains of the cookies I bought for the kids. Not just cookies, but candy filled cookies mind you. I closed my eyes and walked outside! Yeah for me! One small step for a skinny person, one giant leap for a fat girl.
Well...I have my first session with a personal trainer today. I'm scared to death. I feel like I woke up out of breath today just thinking about it. I'll need your prayers today. I think I'm afraid it will be some guy with muscles bigger than his brains who talks like Sly Stalone, so I'll need an interpreter too.
