Survivor

I survived the weekend, Fast intact... Amongst the solo parenting, 2 days at a girlfriends doing a garage sale with a dozen kiddo's, MAJOR girl meltdown... I survived it all without ANY chocolate or carbs.... Look at my little man playing his first soccer game :-) You know the Blondie with the SHORT hair... Week 2 is under way, please be kind, PLEASE!!

Hello, my name is Janet and I'm addicted to munchy food and sweets! It's been almost 4 days since my last "fix" SERIOUSLY, there should be a group for this.. I am totally going thru withdrawal. I have leg/hip pain for no known reason, I am having a terrible time sleeping(tossing and turning forEVER and when I do sleep I have some whacked out dreams) I awoke this morning with a headache to boot.... The plus side is that all the praying I have been doing is working, today I am not feeling controlled by my thoughts of all the munchies in my house or for cookies/cake/pie/chocolate/donuts/etc.......... Thank you lord!

thoughts

The start of day 3.. I'm feeling much stronger about this today! Yesterday I was this close(pinching fingers together)to crying a few times while be surrounded by cookies....(Ilovecookies) This is going to be the most difficult thing I've done in a long time.......

Life

I've been depressed, very depressed for say the past 6-ish months SHOCKER RIGHT?!?! Today is day 1 of a 30 day fast I'm doing. I never done a fast before, I like food, LOVE food, why would I want to stay away from it...... I read the book 7(seven) by Jen Hatmaker and the first month REALLY spoke to me. Like I couldn't get it out of my head spoke to me.. I am hoping that during this month of restriction I will feed my soul and find peace and happiness!! This month I will be eating Chicken/ Eggs/ Bread/ Sweet Potato/ Spinach/ Apple/ Tomato/ I am using some salt and pepper and that's it. Oh and I decided not to do anything different with what I drink. coffee in the morning then massive amounts of water the rest of the day.. Pray for me, I'm gonna need it~ I've already tried to figure out how to have a little of this or that without god knowing.....sigh.....

This entire spring break I have forgotten my camera at every fun thing we did! BOOOOO
