Counting Sheep

I got only five hours of sleep last night, maybe. But it was worth it.

Last week, Ingrid and I attended the anonymous group, but last night (even though it was her birthday) we tried a different one. Thin Within. Great group of women (small in numbers, but dedicated). Ingrid and I will most likely get the materials and start attending regularly.

The premise is almost identical to Weigh Down Workshop, in that we are called to focus on God, the author and finisher of our faith, rather than all those things that we think will fill us - here, namely food! So, we are to watch for the hunger signs, because God has built that into us to notify us that we need food. And to be careful to stop when we have had just enough for the need. How freeing, though, because ALL the foods out there that we so enjoy are "legal." Because we only eat them when we need them, and only eat as much as we need.

So, brownies for breakfast? Sure! If that's what you have a taste for and will allow God to be the one to tell you when and how much.
