Have a plan - Last week I did not post as often as usual, some weeks are busier than others as I am sure you will agree. So, let's get caught up a bit. How was your week? How did you address your food strongholds last week?
I had a good week, as I finally took some of my own postings seriously. I have been convicted about planning for a long time now, but just never took the time to do it. By planning, I mean actually writing down on my official menu planner just what I plan to eat for each meal and snack. I would list the corresponding food value and manage to stay within my allotment for each day.
As I have been praying about the issues related to my eating disorder I could sense God whispering to me that if I would only plan my meals. Well, I did just that and then I made certain that I had everything on hand that I would need for the weeks' menu. I can't tell you how freeing it was to not have to make any decisions when it was meal time. I would merely look and my plan and do it. It was wonderful. There was another blessing too, I was able to write my menu plan when I was hungry and I found that I was more creative as a result.
Try it and let me know what you think!
Scripture encouragement for today is from Hebrews 4:14 " Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens,*Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess."

Good Morning, Judy! Yes, I agree, when I have a plan and get to the grocery store, I do so much better. The temptation to eat what I shouldn't and to go out to eat melt away. I feel stronger and in charge which encourages me. My biggest challenge is making the time to plan and to actually get to the grocery store. I am working on finding the same time each week for planning and going to the grocery store...Schedule it in. One time I had a month of meals planned and just repeated versions of it the next month adding new things. That was great but I find I have to overcome my dislike of grocery shopping. Any thoughts? Thanks!
