How many times have you felt like this fat cat? I can definetely over indulge in a few things like guacamole and frozen yogurt. The miserable feeling after we've crossed the line is certainly not pleasurable or worth it. So why do we do it? Boredom, not wanting to waste it, lack of self control, or because you're a member of the clean plate club. We used to go out for lunch on Saturdays with the plan to grocery shop afterwards. I can't tell you how many times, we got so full that groceries were postponed to another day...ha.
We must remember our bodies are a gift and a temple, not our own. Respecting our bodies with ample nourishment will make us feel better overall.
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit
Great blog... I just wish I hadn't eaten a ton of chocolate before I read it =/ Definitely, I need to be reminded of this today!

Oh man....gotta go with the "two out of three" here! Even though, I can surely relate to postponing the errands til another day after a hefty lunch out. A nap on the couch always sounds a lot better! Gotta love those homecooked meals, though....so hard to stick by that three "s" diet (no sweets, no seconds, no snacks) when that good stuff is around! The key there is just don't cook too often, LOL! Thanks, Angie....love you, T.
