Made it through the Night

Just a quick post.   Made it through the evening of the Women's fellowship meal without too much damage. 
We had a spinach salad that had oil on it.  My salad was fairly small so I ate that.   Then we had some wonderful (ask Melissa) soft and juicy beef, green beans and some red potatoes and cheesecake for dessert.  

I ate the salad, 1/2 or approx. 4 ozs of the beef .   It was so good I could have eaten it all.   Then I ate  2 of the little chunks of potatoes and all of the green beans.  I also ate 2 bites of the cheese cake.   Yummy ...I could have eaten all of that too.     Except for the meat, I forced my potatoes and my cheesecake onto Melissa...who claimed that I was trying to make her fat now !!!!!   She can stand the extra food more than me since she runs every morning and I barely struggle out of bed !

The speaker was really good .   She talked about inner beauty and how God sees us, etc.   She was speaking to  me.   I put too much emphasis on what the outside of me looks like.    I liked Nici's saying when she was talking about jewelry.   "If you can't lose it, decorate it !!!! "    I still want to lose it though...not so much for how I look.   I just want to feel good health wise and strong...and at the moment...I feel neither of those.  That is my goal.
