BLT's

...they are killing me...

(bites, licks, tastes)

I have written about this before and I think as women we all struggle with our body image.  Even when you are feeling "secure" who knows, the next day you might not be because lo and behold you got a zit overnight.  I suppose zits are part of keeping us humble.  (I don't know where the whole zit thing is coming from other than probably the fact I have one right now.  UGH...but as bloggers now like to say...I digress)  Well...I am back on the "bad body image bandwagon!" (and not because of the zit!)  Recently I ran into a friend who just lost like 20 lbs and she looks absolutely amazing so I asked her what she did.  Weight Watchers & working out!  YEAH for her!  1. can't afford WW right now, 2. I have a serious, serious repulsion to anything involving exercise.  UGH!  I. am. not. athletic. at. all.  There is not one single, tiny, little, bit of me that enjoys it.  Anywho, since I digressed again, during my conversation with her she mentioned she had to learn to keep her BLT's in check.  I must have had a completely puzzled look on my face since she explained BLT's are bites, licks, & tastes!  YES, YES, YES....I had an AHA moment!!  Those little BLT's are major culprits to my own daily eating regime.  It is kinda like now that I know the "sin" I am dealing with I am more aware of my choices in regards to the "sin."  Does that make sense to ya?  I guess for me it is another step in living more honestly.  So...with all of that said, I think I am going to start a food journal.  Yes, I am doubting myself and even snickering, rolling my eyes as I write this thinking, "Sure Cara...tried that before!"  Well, here is my plan I feel the Lord has truly laid on my heart to help me battle these nasty culprits....OBEDIENCE!!  See, glutony is a sin just like drinking too much wine.  However, we "excuse" it for whatever reason.  In our human, finite minds we rank sin.  Well, hello...read the Scriptures!!  My point here is that as I continue to choose OBEDIENCE in CHRIST I need to deal with my gluttonous ways, which right now I will focus on those BLT's!
