God's mercy and Grace still amaze me!!!

I just wanted to share this w/ other believers and other WLS friends. Last night my husband and I were at Target getting snacks for the kids.. well I saw that they have sugar free pepperidge Farm cookies. I think, OH, I can get those. THe sugar alcohol was 9grams so I figured I'd get them. Well Then I saw combos, well those were my favorite pre-op and of course I scanned the numbers and found that*technically* I could proably have them. So I get them. Well before we were leaving, I put the cookies away! That doesn't sound huge to some, but for me it is. I have been really praying that God will give me more self control. We all know it's not something most of us can muster up because if it was, we wouldn't need WLS... So anyways i didn't get the cookies and then I tried a few of the combos and they didn't set well at all. Praise God for his mercy and grace, for saving me from myself!! DOes that make sense? I could have really had a binge and God totally stepped in.. Even when we don't deserve it and make bad choices, he still Showers us w/ his love. So I went home and went to bed w/o eating anything! Praise God!! Thank you for listening!! Melissa, RNY 11/4/4 318/266

God gave you alot of strength!
