Week 7, Day 6, Diet with Dianna

Today is Saturday, my going to Church day, today. I had a amazing time getting to worship God. Afterwards my family went to a birthday party for my nephew, who will be fifteen in September. Yes in September, but since he lives in Georgia we won't be able to celebrate with him so we had his birthday celebration in July.  Lots of food, cake and pie.  Non for me. Only salad and chicken, which were delicious. Thanks Sis!

REVELATION KNOWLEDGE:
Temptations at every corner. At the party, tonight, my sister pitched me some candy, one of my favorites as a child. She meant well, but I had to turn it down. I cannot give in to these temptations. Next was the dinner. Beans, chicken, rice, salad, flour tortillas, corn tortillas were on the menu. Dessert was from the Swedish Pastry Shop: Lemon Meringue pie and Chocolate fudge cake...full of carbs and sugar. Pie is my weakness, especially lemon and cherry. I sat and nearly cried then instead of feeling sorry for myself I chose to accept everyone having a good time.
Still it is so difficult to watch others indulging with oohs and ahs and accolades; each one stating how delicious and decadent they are. I am sinking deeper and deeper into a can of worms, having a silent pity party and even feeling angry at their lack of concern for my happiness. WAIT! They aren't responsible for my happiness, I am. I can get glad in the same SKINNY pants I got angry in. My happiness is not fed by food. I can be happy without the sweet food and enjoy the company and fun of the celebration and people.

Exercise:  None...no time.

Breakfast:
One egg, half slice of Oroweat sandwich thin, hash-browns. I cooked bacon and forgot to pull them out of the microwave, until after breakfast. DUH!

I am proud of myself for resisting temptations. I am happy that I've learned to be happy in uncomfortable situations. I'm grateful that I have a very supportive core family. I am glad that I am not writing regrets for failing.
