I continue to struggle with my weight. I am not winning. That is the bad news. The good news is that I am not even close to giving up. I have been here before but usually when I reach my goal on weight loss I just start eating again. I am sure that if weight is a problem, you have been there with me. I am still in the battle.
That doesn’t mean that the smell of bacon and cheese has stopped calling to me. Oh, the temptations of breakfast. As I walk down the aisle with my piece of bread and coffee I can smell all the good stuff being prepared a few feet away. Surely it won’t hurt if I indulge myself today. Just one day won’t make a difference, right? Wrong.
I look at my piece of bread and smell the bacon. I enjoy the smell but I call up the vision of a needle dripping insulin. That is my future if I give in to my appetite.
The Battle of the Bulge continues. I don’t claim to be as heroic as the men who fought that in World War II but if I fail my destiny is just as final.
