Today was great! I saw Vampires Suck, which was a pretty good spoof. I was happy and smiling all day. For dinner today we went to Dairy Queen. The “healthy” selection at Dairy Queen is virtually non existent so I was prepared for that. I knew I was going to eat unhealthy and I was ok with that for tonight. What I wasn’t sure about was my ability to resist all the chocolate, caramel, ooey gooey treats. While it was incredibly difficult to resist. I did! I settled on a medium pineapple milkshake. Healthy? No. But It could have been so worse. So I’ll consider tonight One Little Victory. 

Dear Chocolate,

We’ve had a long road together, you and I. You’ve seen me through some incredibly rough emotional spots. You’ve been my comforter and my friend. I’ve turned to you when I’ve felt I had no where else to turn. I’m sorry to say this, but I’m going to have to let you go. I’ve been using you to fill a hole that only God can. That’s not fair to you, me, and most certainly not to God.

For to long I’ve been expecting things out of you that you can not give. You were created to be a delicious treat to be enjoyed in moderation. I expected you to miraculously fix my problems when, truth be told, you only added to them.

So I’m turning away from you. I won’t lie to you and say I’m never going to enjoy a deliciously chocolate treat ever again, but from now on I’m going to treat you as such.

From now on, I’m going to turn to God in those instances where I’ve previously turned to you. After all, He’s where I’ve should have been turning all along. I pray that He forgives me for putting you above Him.

xoxo, hugs n kisses, and all that jazz,

Kimmie
