A Day in the Life

Reflections
1. My youngest dd is not potty training
well... I'm considering just scrapping the whole notion for now, going
back to diapers and then broaching the topic anew say when she is three
years old or so. It is just frustration and confusion as it
stands and I am the one who is doing all the remembering-- I asked her
repeatedly if she had to go potty last night and it was nope nope nope
and then suddenly it's UH OH and wet pants. Again. For the
millionth time. I am just feeling she must not be ready and that I've
rushed things and that I just need to scrap it for now. Maybe
that's wrong.
2. I am feeling majorly convicted food wise today. I have been
having a "festival of treats" around the house lately... brownies,
cupcakes, candy, you name it. I have been exercising a lot more
but it's almost like my brain refuses to let my body make progress and
sabotages the plan. And I fall for it time and time again.
What I'm convicted about though is that my food situation right now is
out of balance-- it has actually become somewhat of an idol in my
life. I turn to it for comfort and that is wrong. I eat the
wrong things and I eat even when I'm not hungry. I get angry at
myself when I see the scale and make big promises and manage to be good
for about half a day but then at some point my resolve crumbles and I'm
back where I started. At church they talked about the idea of
being "convicted" and our pastor said the next thing is to confess and
repent so I am moving on to those steps and praying for the Lord to
help me shake this unhealthy addiction to sweets.

Feb. 20, 2006 - Hi :o)
My name is Cathy. Today is "random blog day", "make new friends" on HSBlogger, your blog came up so I'm here to say hello and make a new friend! I've been hitting the sugar and sweets way too much myself. I just finished a quick study a few months back on our immune systems. I learned that our cells only want to know one thing about the food we put into our systems and that is "can I use it for cell structure?" the rest is either harmful or expelled from our bodies. When I keep reminding myself of this fact, candy turns me off. Right now I'm feeling yuk because I had candy earlier today. You pray for me and I'll pray for you! :o)
Have a happy homeschooling day!
In His Love,
Cathy :o)
