Just the beginning.

I'm fighting, fighting not to eat right now.  But I'm not hungry.  So I thought I'd take a minute to list a few of the small triumphs of first few days on my goal:
     {I made two whole wheat toaster waffles last for twenty minutes.}
  {At a restaurant, I ordered a salad with dressing on the side.}
        {Also at the restaurant, I divided my food down the middle as soon as I got it and saved half for next-day leftovers.}
       {Though I was out of shape from missing a week at the gym, I did not quit during our hour-long class.}
    {I did not go back for seconds at a Church buffet dinner.}
 {I resisted the urge to hop in the car when I heard McDonalds and Chick-fil-A were giving out free food on Leap Day.}
         {I took a nap instead of eating yesterday when I discovered I was tired not hungry.}
      {I woke up at 4:45 this morning to attend a cycle class at the Y.}
Now, I will go brush my teeth, read the Book of Mormon for at least 5 minutes, and pull some weeds in the garden.  I will not eat until I am hungry.  In the strength of the Lord, I can do all things.
