Good Labor Day morning - fam on the way - HEALTHY lunch today.  :)   Lean meats, BIG salad, broccoli/cauliflower blend, baked sweet potatoes with xylitol, fruit, sugar free cheese cake, and my only bad give-in: ice cream in a waffle cone.   :(    (mom said the kids needed something)    Our gatherings are changing - Chip and I are cooking - everyone follows us.   Are they really happy - no not really, but some year they will appreciate that we made a change.  :)   

Weight the same today.   :)

I was watching a movie yesterday called "Lying to be Perfect" and it was about a woman who created another person, photo-shopped her own picture and started writing an advice column under this name.   Immediately, as she was a great writer - the column exploded.  She lied and created this person as her editor would never give her a shot as she was fat.  I remember as a child and teen, people making fun of me as I was heavy.  YUCK.  However, the character in the movie started a healthy eating/exercising plan, lost her weight, feel in love and finally exposed the truth.  Good story line, one scene to fast forward through.  :)

I picked up on a line in the movie I want to pass along, "A piece of cookie or a whole cookie - both the same - neither one rejects me."  I told my mom - WOW - I lived there so many years.   Rejection comes from so may places, and sugar sedates and comforts.   Let's keep asking the Holy Spirit to show us the foundation of our rejection.   Then, let's forgive ourselves and others for rejecting us especially due to the way we looked and then embrace the TRUTH that God has never rejected us...... EVER.  He chose us, he adopted us, he paid a HIGH wage for us, he sings over us, he never leaves us alone.   This is the total opposite of rejection.   Thank you, Father.

So, let's receive the truth from God's word and REJECT the lie.  :)

Happy Labor Day!

Choose life and eat to live,
