Tuff Day

Today's a tuff day.  One of those that leaves you feeling frustrated, hurt and tired.  Maybe it's hormones, maybe it's just life, but I really want to crawl in bed eat ice cream and watch TV.  But...I know that's really not going to make me feel better.  Getting caught up on all I need to do, maybe getting in a bike ride, and spending some time in God's word will do more for me than anything else.  That is a change I've seen in me since I've begun this journey of better health and weight loss.  Seems like my coping skills have improved.  Not that I get it perfect every time.  I was talking with a friend the other day.  We are opposite of each other.  For me stress, boredom, sadness has always driven me to food.  For her, being content makes her more likely to reach for that tub of ice cream.  We're all so different, but half the battle is recognizing your weakness and giving it over to God and making the decision to put it in His hands.
