Ding Dang Diets
I haven’t been counting my Weight Watchers points lately because I’ve grown weary with noting every morsel that goes into my pie-hole. (And there’s been more than one Amish fried pie in there!) Anyone watching me these days may well notice the evidence of my preference to eat rather than count as the smaller britches I bought late last summer are now my Maypops. They may pop anytime.
Ding Dang Dawn of the Day
I gave myself a pep talk this morning at 4 a.m. when I was forced out of bed by a bladder begging for relief. I looked into the bathroom mirror. A 4 a.m. face is frightful! “Do I really want to keep gaining weight?” I asked myself. “Why, no! No, I don’t!” I answered. I resolved to not start off my day with Jack’s yummy, buttery biscuits, a plan I’d made when I got into bed last night. By the time I arrived at work, I had indeed eaten a Jack’s breakfast. Then, when I got to the office, a donut called my name…one of those Krispy Kreme fried devil biscuits, chocolate covered with sprinkles. Yes, I did!
Ding Dang Dining
As a side note…often at the Jack’s near my house, you order what you want, you pay for what you ordered, then you get what they give you. Today, they did well. But I digress.
Ding Dang, Ding Dang!
Now…it’s Thursday. I can’t start a better way of eating on Friday! It might be a law, I don’t know. But I don’t want to binge all weekend, either. Well, I do want to. I just don’t want the consequences of it.
Ding Dang Choices!
I have a tight relationship with bad choices…and it’s not just food…but those are stories for another day.
(I can’t “ding-dang” a devotional. It’s too ding dang important.)
I should write seven-day devotional of sorts, covering personal choices, free will, and relationship with our Creator. It would be about picking up and moving on toward a better life, no matter how many steps back you’ve (I’ve) taken.
That’s the ding dang plan. If I write the devotional, I’ll share it some day.
