Thurs.Food For Thought

October 26th A Good Meal A good meal for us is an abstinent meal. Fancy frills and gourmet delights are not good if they threaten our abstinence. Because we have overemphasized food in the past, we tend to be too concerned about what we will have for dinner-and lunch-and breakfast. It is a relief to come to the conclusion that whatever we have to eat is good if it fits our food plan. We do not have to spend a lot of time and energy deciding what we will eat today. If what we choose does not turn out to be especially pleasing, we are free to choose something else tomorrow. Most of us are familiar with the basic principles of good nutrution. By abstaining from compulsive overeating, we are giving our bodies the best possible treatment. By avoiding refined sugars and starches, we eliminate empty calories and choose those foods with the protein, vitamins, and minerals neccessary for good health. Whatever we eat, the abstinent meal is a good meal. Thank You for good, abstinent meals. I am going out of town today and won't be bac****il Fri. evening. I decided to post Fridays post today so no one will miss out on their reading. See everyone tomorrow night! Jeannie
