Yesterday I had to take a teaching class with one of my best friends and teaching partner, Katie. She is obviously not on this seven-food fast, so when it came time for lunch, we headed out to her restaurant of choice - Zaxby's. I can't even describe the amazing smells emanating from that building as we walked in. I may or may not have stopped mid-walk just to soak up the intoxicating aromas. But then I returned to reality and found a booth for the two of us while she went up and ordered her meal.
Normally I would be at least a little embarrassed bringing in my own lunch bag to a restaurant. However, after this week of humbling cuisine, I barely thought twice about it. In fact, my thoughts were slightly smug, knowing that my hummus egg salad, carrots, and banana were much healthier (and cheaper) than anything on the Zaxby's menu.
I felt that was something I could take some pride in. I stuck with it this whole week, God changed my thoughts and attitudes toward the role of food in my life, and I'm three pounds lighter and feeling much better all-around. Plus, I've had (and will continue to have, thankfully) the chance to grow closer to my fellow eccentric and partner in all this, Dawn.
God is good!
