why not?

I think that I am at a good place today. Why? I am not sure. Could it be that I have had reassurance from some great friends? Maybe. Could it be that I have been riding the wave of 'eating less' due to the stomach flu this past weekend? Maybe. I am not going to question it. Just enjoy it. "Thank you God for even the smallest victories." Last night I had to make a run to Walgreens. These are usually my moments of 'temptation' and usually FAILING. Anyway.....I went in, picked up the needed item and then stopped by the snack isle. I did purchase some rice cakes, some Triscuts and a water purifying pitcher, but the REAL victory came when I drove past Taco Bell and didn't stop. Laugh if you must but for me, this is VICTORY. I know, I know only one time but it was a start. I am trying to re-train my thoughts. I believe it can be done. I don't have to stay in the rut I have been in for 20 years (maybe more). God is in the smallest things in our lives. This is a big one for me. Bondage. That's what I call it. I long to be free. Maybe just one link in the chain fell off last night.
