Struggles and Triumphs
Good news first:
Last night's Christmas Devotional was AWESOME! I was reminded what Christmas was about. As the prophet, President Monson said, its not about the shopping, the gifts, Santa. Its about the joy we feel when we serve others by following Christ's example. I was also reminded to unclutter my life so that I can spend time on the important things. Loved these little reminders, and hearing music about Christ.
I have been struggling with eating passed being full when I eat my meals. This morning I fixed my breakfast and I stopped eating when I was full!!!!!! I stopped, realized I was full, looked at my plate -while struggling internally (should I not waste it and finish, not I shouldn't, etc)- and I finally said to myself, "You know you don't want the rest of that. Its just more calories you need. You are full. Stop eating." And, I DID!!! That has been my struggle for a long time. One meal I said no to, a lot more to go. I hope that I can keep that up!
I have been doing well at the 3 100% things that I am trying to do! Yay!!!!!
This week started off well. Today I already have read all my homework materials for the week (which never happens on Monday, I woke up early to do it, but it got done!), and K is fed and bathed, which also never happens by this time of day, well at least the bathed part. I am feelin great and very optimistic!
I am thinking about it, and there really isn't bad news. That is AWESOME!
