I know that these early drops now that I’m back at it are just water weight, but they are the encouragement that i need to keep going.
I have a job that puts food in front of me every single day in efforts of hospitality to “care” for one’s bishop. (This weekend I will be entertained at every meal except for one breakfast.) The ceremonial aspect of this job required that I eat at many parish functions and out in restaurants almost daily. It is hard to refuse the offerings- not because of what they taste like, but because they are offered with sincerity and humility and love. I’m trying to cut down on the visits that parishes have for me at “ice cream socials” and other things but it’s hard.
I’m not drinking (another awkward thing, socially) and trying to eat bread/rice/pasta-y carbs just once a day and stick with a juice at breakfast and a salad at lunch.
So hard.
I want to stay at it until august 7 when I begin vacation.
