Changing my eating pattern...

Last month, my sister and her husband arranged for me to take care of their dog, cat, and house for a few days. We live less than a mile from each other. I didn't want to take my toothbrush. I would work at home, eat my meals at home, and then go over to their house for the night. I'd leave between five and six in the evening.

I never thought I could go all evening and overnight with only water.

I thought it was impossible.

I did the impossible.

Whoohoo!

I also learned something: I felt better.

Since then, I've been practicing. I notice a different.

I also know for a lot of people this would be horrible.

Because I've been practicing finishing all my eating between five and six in the evening, I was a little uncertain when I was tested.

Sunday evening, family gathered to visit. Snacks were brought out. It was after five. I'd already finished my dinner. I knew my goal. It was my choice.

I thought it would be impossible.

I did the impossible.

I thought it would be impossible to not be tempted.

I wasn't tempted. I looked at all the food and knew it wasn't healthy for me.

I did the impossible.

Thanks Joel Runyon! I'm doing the impossible!
