The things, good Lord, that we pray for, give
us the grace to labour for.
– Saint Thomas More
This morning I was musing on perceptions. Now, I’ve been doing the eating plan for two weeks now. When I first started, all I could focus on was how small the meat portions were. 3 oz! WTF! As many of you know, I am *meat girl,* how could I possibly deal with such tiny amounts of meat (well, not even MEAT, but chicken and fish!). But after a couple of days, I decided to just get over myself and let go of that thinking. I suspected it might be a way for me to sabotage myself. :)
Well, a couple of days ago I was packing my meals to take to work, when I was suddenly surprised at just *how much* 3 oz actually was. Now, it’s not huge by any standards, but it was no longer *TINY* in my eyes. I think that’s a pretty interesting shift in perception…and in only two weeks. I just had to get out of my own way and not put a value judgment on what I was doing. A lightbulb moment.
In other news, I’ve collected a box and a bag of stuff that will be leaving today. I have to go food shopping and to the library, so I’m going to Savers to drop this crap off. It’s a small start, but it IS a start. :)
