This morning while I was eating Arby’s for breakfast- I ordered 3 different sandwiches because each sounded good. Normally I would have eaten all 3, maybe not all at once, but definitely in the 3 hour drive it was going to take me to get to my destination. Today though it was different and this last week it’s been different, I don’t feel that guilt to keep eating even though I’m very well satisfied. I say guilt because if I don’t finish my food there’s always some level of guilt- whether it be “the starving kids in Africa” or “we can’t afford to waste food”, both statements I heard often enough to have it engraved into my conscious.
I had 2 normal bites out of 2 and ate one full one, then stopped. No shame that I spent $14 and wasted food. I feel a level of freedom I haven’t felt- ever.
I pray my kids never feel this way- I never tell them they have to eat all their food and never do I guilt them.
Fishing on the Oregon Coast for Salmon this weekend, beautiful weather, with good company.
