T is for Time

It has been far too long since my last posting on this blog.  I have not given up the fight to get eating habits under control, it is just that life got in the way for a season.  I am still in the midst of that season, but moving toward a brighter tomorrow.

So, the "T" words are time and tomorrow and today.  None of us know what tomorrow will look like, but generally time is on our side.  So, that said I am moving forward today - how about you?  Tomorrow promises nothing but still we pin a lot of hope that it will work out for the best.  I have long since realized that losing or gaining a pound or two or ten, isn't the end of the world.  Tomorrow will still be waiting in the wings for us to embrace.

Today is the only thing I can see for what it is.  Today is either a good day or a not so good day.  It is what it is and I can't control or change that.  The clock ticks away the minutes and time moves forward.  I know this will sound trite, and if you haven't arrived at an age of reason you won't truly understand, but time goes by so swiftly.  Not only the years and months following a look back; it is the weeks and days now that cause me to stop and say, "but it was just Monday!"

Priorities change, our view of life changes with each milestone we achieve.  I still care about my health, I still struggle on some days with my eating practices.  There are still days I feel addicted to food because I use it for comfort.  But the idea no longer consumes me, no longer holds me prisoner making me feel shame and disgust.  No, I am me and I am a work in progress.  Some days I make more progress than others.  But God is with me.

To paraphrase 2 Timothy 4:7

• Fight the good fight
• Finish the race
• Keep the faith.
