Day 15a

We went to the Wofford Game today with my parents.  I knew we were going to my favorite restaurant in the world after the game, The Beacon.  I was  a little nervous about it.  I started my new way of eating today from what I learned yesterday.  I waited until I was truly hungry which actually didn't come until around 1pm today.  Hopefully, it will be sooner tomorrow.  I took my time and thoroughly enjoyed each bite and ate slowly.  I stopped when I was pleasantly full.  I did that for lunch and then I got hungry again when it was time to go to The Beacon after the game.  My family got a snack at the game, but I didn't because I wasn't hungry.  I drank water instead.  For supper, I got my favorite meal at The Beacon.  It was a cheeseburger a plenty(with tons of onion rings and fries).  I took small bites, set my food down between each bite, chewed in thoroughly, and then took another bite.  It worked.  I only ate about one third to one half of my food.  For both lunch, supper, and a snack(just got hungry again), I by no means overate.  I hope to do it even better tomorrow.  I tried drinking water most of the day as well except I had a Diet Coke for one of my snacks tonight.  The cool thing is that I never let myself get to the point where I was starving.  I started eating when I was hungry but not ravenous.  No scale today.  I can't wait for the day when this way of eating becomes natural.  I have to give it a lot of thought right now.  Jesus, make all of this less and less and You more and more.  In the book of Jonah it says in Chapter 4 I believe that those who cling to idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.  Help me to cling to you Jesus.
