A Small Taste of Freedom
Filed under Confession by kristen at 8:59 am on Aug 01 2010
It was a crazy week trying to get ready for vacation. Our family along with four other extended family units all headed to Michigan yesterday. We were excited to spend time with our family. In the back of my mind I have been nervous with the thought of vacation eating. I think you all know what I am talking about. The endless eating, unlimited availability to “special” food.
So on our way to the beach house we made a stop at Gino’s East Pizza. If you are not familiar with Gino’s it is amazing Chicago style pizza. We had Gino’s twice on our honeymoon so it also has some sentimental memories. When we got to Gino’s I was hungry. Hungry and needing to eat but I had a small taste of freedom. One piece of pizza was enough to pleasantly fill me up and satisfy me. One piece. Only one piece. I cannot remember a time in my life that one piece of Gino’s was satisfying. Not one memory of leaving Gino’s not stuffed and miserable.
I am praying that this new freedom is not a temporary taste. This freedom and lack of emotional eating is something that I have been searching for for some time.
