As I was making scrambled eggs for the kids today and adding in a slice of cheese, it occurred to me that just two days ago I would have thought nothing of snacking on a slice or two as I cooked.  That's 212 calories and 18 grams of fat that would have just snuck past my lips without a moment of thought.  That got me thinking...I used to put half & half in my coffee with about 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar.  That's 105 calories and 7 grams of fat.  On some days I would drink four of those!  That's a meal's worth of calories in mindless coffee breaks.

Thank you Lord for awakening my consciousness.  Give me strength to make lifelong changes, and keep me from ever turning back to that mindless way of living!
