hello out there

This is a totally selfish post, and if you don't want to read it I don't blame you.  I just miss food.  There I said it.  I miss food that isn't one of my 7.  I don't just mean I miss it, but I mean I am seriously sad about not having those foods.  Last night I was so defeated and tired of my foods- I ate a sweet potato and went to bed.  I am trying not to cave.  I mean this is only day 7 for me- I have to have more will power than that, right?  Not so sure...

Am I alone or are y'all feeling this too?  Obviously I put way too much emphasis on food.  Didn't realize that about myself until this experiment.  I also use food as rewards for myself like Beverly mentioned- also didn't recognize this in myself til now.  I am learning my weaknesses-which is not always pretty.  I pray for strength and to learn from my deficiencies.  What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?

Dear God, Please impart wisdom and strength.

As a side note, I pulled this out of my 16 month old son's bag from God's Little Garden on Sunday and thought y'all might appreciate it as mothers of young children.

We will be signing him up for Harvard in the fall since at 16 months he can paste these shapes in the exact location where they belong to make a house :)  I do appreciate that they made the chimney askew so that I might actually think my 16 month old had something to do with the creation of this picture.  It made me laugh, and then I put it in the recycling bin.  If you think this is good, you should have seen last week where the characters were colored in better than my four year old can color in-between the lines.  I look forward to seeing what he "creates" every week :)

PS I have really enjoyed reading everyone's posts!  They have made me feel less alone in this.  And Katie I think you should start your own blog after this.  You have made me crack up- thank you :)
