I am starting to see progress here, but I can really see a difference in the pic posted on my profile.

Last night was a struggle; my husband went to a church dinner; I told him not to bring me a plate. However, a sweet friend of mine insisted and I received a plate of desserts, plus a good meal. I think I passed the test, and I chose a small piece of apple stack cake like my grandmother made. I ate some corn and green beans.

Today, though, my flesh has raged and I have craved sweets so I am praying about doing Heidi's type of fast: no sweets. I am praying about it, and I am reading the part about Daniel's type of eating in the book of Daniel. Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial. Sweets are very tempting, but the plate of desserts still sits in the oven.
