I am thinking, today, about how we often put ourselves last and don't treat ourselves with the respect we do others. And here is my conclusion - I will not feed myself with any less respect than I would even my least respected guest. I mean, would I invite anyone over to my house to eat dinner standing in front of the fridge with the door open? Would I say "I'm sure there are things to eat in there - how about the left overs off of my kids plate from 3 days ago? I think they are still good - smell them. Sound good? Dessert? How about ice cream? Just scoop it out with your finger. Would you like a slice of cake cut paper thin and eaten off the knife? When you are done, there is more there."
We are taught to love our neighbor as ourselves. Is this what was meant? When we heard "as you have done to the least of my children you did to Me" was this the gyst of the thing? I don't think so. I am the one person who will always be with me, who will stick with me through thick and thin. We have many things to do, many people who expect our respect. It is time we put ourselves on that list, too.
Also, I have now been on Medifast for 15 weeks and am down 36 lbs. Works for me!
Blessings on you all.
