Foiled and for a good reason

[Sweet lips]

Today was a particulary "stressable" day meaning that it could go either way. I got up - took my therapeutic enzymes and water and nothing else. I left my home to pick up a check, which both my husband and I asked the company to put in my name, so that I could just cash it on their bank and do what I had to do - well wouldn't you know it - they didn't and wouldn't. A couple of more things happened on my way to deliver some stuff and I thought, ummm - I want a biscuit and some gravy - yup I did - I didnot bother to even think of where the thought came from - I just shut out reality and went for it - Wellllllllllllll :eek:

The first fast food restaurant I drove in, with my sunshades and my hat pulled down - :o (I could have been on candid camera and I did not want to be seen, who knows and it could be aired nation wide)
Well anyway - it was closed for repairs. So the second one I went to the lady was picking her teeth at the window, and I really have an aversion for folks doing that kinda stuff in public, but the third window was the reality check - now, I am genrously built, could lose a quite a few pounds here and there, but there were this group from the heart clinic going into another chicken place - named after the state - and it was sad for me, because as I got out - the window was closed, I heard one woman say, I know that we are not suppose to eat this, but the Dr just doesn't understand, and the other responded - well, girl we got to die from something. I sucked it up, took a whiff, got nauseas by the grease smell, got in my car and ate my flax seed crackers and thought, what a wonderful biscuit.

Foiled and for a good reason! :D :D

Hi SweetLips,

It's so nice when the universe makes sure we don't do something we'll regret later by throwing up little speedbumps for us! :o)

[Revvell]

SweetLips, I just had to smile. Isn't it funny how doors just seem to close right in our face sometimes? And as you say, for good reason. :)

Oh ha ha ha hee hee you are too much! :D :p

Now just thinking about the sides at that place has gotten my mind to wander... yeesh!

Good for you - you've been able to gross yourself out. Would be nice if the association stayed with you for good, huh?

[Rawadventures]

Why don't doors close for ME like that! ARGH! LOL

Fantastic story. I loved reading it. I figure we'll all be taken care of if we ask for help from whatever we believe in, but you didn't even ask, and there it was!

Bravo! :)

Wouldn't you know it - I was seen yesterday at the fast food joint named after a state - The comment was


Her: I really couldn't tell if that was you or not, but your walk is so distinictive and then when you got in you car, I knew it was you."

Me: Yeah, it was me, I was scouting out the territory.

Her: Why ever would you be there - do they have anything that you can eat

Me: Of course, I can eat anything that I chose, however, it is about making better choices and for a moment, I was considering a choice, why do you think I was incognito - oh, were you there too!!

Her: Well, yes, and I was hoping you did not see me, I mean, um after all, you look so good, ( that felt good, although, I felt a tad bit plumper than usual) and you have been talking to me about myself and well, I was a bit embarrassed.

Me: (laughing), don't be sweetie, I was on a mission to eat something that really is not a good thing for me, and my mind was changed - it is not about me seeing you - by no means am I a food sherriff, I have only made some suggestions, provided some information, and you choose what, why and where. Oh by the way -Was it good?

Her: (sheepish), well, yes

Me: Then celebrate that - not be concerned about me seeing you, shoot, I might have joined you - there is no S on my shirt and no cape in my trunk - we just sisters in the struggle.

Afterthought - this a.m., I am e-mailing her some stuff about a class I am doing and taking her some raw bars - that are dangerously good! I am working on her!

You see? You were at that restaraunt for a purpose. Sometimes God puts uncomfortable situations and people in our lives for that.

I was LOL about you trying to be incognito cause you didn't want to end up on the 10 o' clock news. Turns out that you were caught, but by someone else who was stugging as well. And you really helped them out.

I know that is a turning point after all this. There comes a point when you don't see food as a thrill but a necessary need for fuel. When you get to that point, places like these don't call you anymore. You simply eat to live.

Wow....SweetGoddess said it right, your Angels were definitely with you; all the while you were being an "angel" to someone else!!! I love it how the world works. Great story, I am sure we can all relate :D

[tracyinfo]

Thanks for sharing. It made me smile. I'm glad you had your flax seed crackers with you.

Blessings.
