Intermission

HOORAY! I MADE IT HALFWAY!

Yesterday was not a good how to eat without eating out day.  A lot of struggles filled the hours, and I really didn't eat much, but victory comes in the morning when I look back and know that I have been able to make it halfway through these 40 days without buying any food from a restaurant or a fast food place!  I know that if I was only doing this through my own strength, I would have eaten out a long time ago.  It's only through God that I have been able to make it this far, so thanks and praise goes to Him.  That's what this fast is all about.

On a side note, I did manage to enjoy a mountain dew at St Louis Bread Co with a couple of youth pastor friends of mine; their meals looked mouth-wateringly delicious.  I also finished the day with the rest of the potato skin chips from the day before and a Snickers with Almonds during intermission at the O'Fallon, Illinois, High School musical of Wizard of Oz...I'm not sure what this 40 days is doing to my healthy diet, I kind of think I was actually eating healthier before not eating out due to the variety I was having.  I haven't tested that theory, so I could be wrong, but with the small portions of food I usually eat anyway, and the fact that I eat like a bird, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

Thursday, March 16: Day 20!
