Don't give up, be FREE...late post for 6.7.07

Well, I didn't post yesterday. It was late and I was wanting to get to bed. Had an early morning this morning. Seems all like an excuse now since I will tell the truth. I had clinicals last night (I'm in school for massage therapy) and got out around 9:30pm. Then it was straight to the grocery store. I actually started to think about doughnuts before I left clinicals. It is such a mind addiction. I went to the store, like I just gave up! I grabbed doughnuts and after walking the asiles of the store (with the junk food, actually now that I think about it, what asile isn't junk food beyond the produce section??) I put them back-more because they were out of what I was craving, and instead settled for a BOX of snack cakes. Danger, danger!!! So this morning I prayed as I was in the bathroom getting ready for work and cast down this evil spirit I am giving power to in Jesus name. As I think about being "free", I look up on my computer monitor and read a quote I taped to it by the inspiring raw foodist Jinjee Talifero (www.TheGardenDiet.com), which I don't utilize and read enough-and it is RIGHT in front of me!!! My failures come from my unwillingness to change and unwillingness to feel the mental and physical pain that can acompany it. Here is the quote from Jinjee:
Becoming healthier is something we don't have to do all at once. Just taking the first step, no matter how small, gives us momentum. The whole body takes note of our intention and the action that we have backed our intention with, and the gates to the path of health are thrown open for us. Taking that first step gives us the courage and confidence to take the next one, and soon we are well on our way, making so much progress on the path of healthy living.
