Here comes the sun......day!

So it's Sunday!  The last two Sunday's have been particularly hard.  I have been thinking about it...  I think because Sunday morning I attend meeting and despite the fact that I am in a loving congregation, I miss my Persian congregation back home.  I miss my family.  Being at the meetings makes me think of my family, friends, bible studies that attended the meetings.  And then because I miss my family, I feel sad and depressed and as you know from my past posts, I am an emotional eater.  So then I come home and wallow in my sorrows with whatever I want to eat.  I don't measure.  I don't count points.  I don't say "hey maybe I shouldn't blow it on this order or carne asada fries..."  I just eat it, without thinking about it.  Mindless eating.

Well today, I am determined NOT to be that way.  I am changing my Sunday!  A friend crashed at my house last night while her hubby is out of town (shout out to Charlotte).  We spent the day at the Farmer's Market taking in all kinds of goodies!  Made homemade Orange Chicken last night (only 10 points) and so its only natural that I send my house guest along with a good delicious breakfast.  So I chopped up some fresh sweet onion, red, yellow, orange and green peppers and sauteed them in a little olive oil, added some scrambled eggs and a delish cup of coffee.  Only 5 points!!!  My Sunday is off to a good start!  Now if I can just get through the meeting, enjoy the special talk and association with my spiritual family and get home without stopping anywhere lol, I think I will make it through this day.  After all, you cant eat bad things if you don't keep them in the house!  I'm halfway there!!!

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!  The special talk will be a treat as always, reminding us of the beautiful promises Jehovah has set before us.  May your day be full of life, love and delicious, healthy foods!!!
