Ezekiel, I know how you feel.

That is a pretty broad claim, so let me clarify.

 In the story of Ezekiel, God gives Ezekiel a pretty heavy task. He tells Ezekiel to go to Israel and give the people a message that they aren't going to want to hear. In that moment, Ezzy is pumping himself up . He's running up the stairs like in Rocky and right hookin' the air saying "yeah, YEAH, I can DO this!"

He is taken to begin his task, and ends up in Israel. It says in Ez 3:15  "And I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who were dwelling by the Chebar canal, and I sat where they were dwelling.  And I sat there overwhelmed for seven days."

Even though he KNEW what he had to do, and God showed him with a major sign, it still took him a week to start. He still needed to just think for a while. He needed a cookie, hug and a nap. (Those 3 things will make me feel better no matter what.)

I feel like Ezekiel in that moment. I started a blog, began a big task ahead of me, I pumped myself up as well as I could....then BLAM...I've been sitting here for seven days completely overwhelmed.

I have eaten MORE sugar than I usually do, in fact my diet has consisted almost completely of sugar related things. I haven't had any dairy though, and i haven't had one stomach problem!

I have not taken ONE picture of myself. I do have a great idea though, for the funniest and most lighthearted weight loss/body changing journal. I'm just gonna do it and not tell you what it is.

I think now that I've sat around overwhelmed for a week, I can begin the task ahead.

What I ate today, and i am fully aware that this is not only not enough food but it is pretty void of anything my body needs:

4 chocolate covered graham crackers (2 with some peanut butter)
1 banana
1 sausage/egg breakfast sandwich

cookie...hug...nap...here we go.
