Small slip-up

Okay, last night my husband took the fam to eat Asian food! (One of my favorite foods!!!) I simple went through the buffet looking over all the foods while helping Anna Marie choose her foods. So, when I went back I knew exactly what I wanted and I only took a small spoon full of each item. -Doing good so far.- I chewed my food slowly and enjoyed every bite and morsel of food. I was in heaven. ---Then I fell into the trap! I could tell I was getting full but the sushi bar was calling my name. Where we were sitting I could see the chef's preparing the sushi with so much care and consideration. About that same time Rocky gets up to go pay for the food and go to the restroom. So, I went to the sushi bar and picked out three pieces of sushi. I knew I was going to over due it but did it anyway. Well, I paid for it later!!!! I was way to full and felt miserable. This lead to my mind tormenting me about how I was a failure and I will never get this weight off. Then the Holy Spirit spoke so clearly, "Just push the restart button and don't eat again until you are truly hungry." That is exactly what I did. We ate a really early dinner, @4:45pm, I did not need a evening snack. Today I am back on track. I am so thankful for the mercy God gives me. Some may think it is silly that God would care about how much or what we eat, but I know He does. I know that my over eating is a heart mater that God wants to deal with. Just confessing the slip up from last night has already got me on a good start for the day. I will overcome by the word of my testimony!!!!!

Wow. I appreciate the honesty. I go through the same thing sometimes and it's awesome to be forgiven and move on. I had to learn that guilt and condemnation are not things I have to dwell on but on peace and joy.
