Unforgettable wallet
A friend who eliminated sugars and flours from her diet two years ago told me she hides her wallet every night. Before the food plan, often she couldn’t find it in the morning. Now she remembers every time. So many blessings of the food plan.

Unexpected benefit of no
Last night, the Nutrition Ministry at St. Stephen Presbyterian discussed instances of when we said no to the offer of a refined food. Two of us had the same story. When we said no thanks consistently over time, our friends started making abstinent food for us! This is great because we can confidently go their homes, participate in the festivities, and stay healthy. This is the best of all worlds! If we had said yes, we would have been in relapse and we would still be faced with either being in relapse or starting to say no. So, there are advantages to saying no right off the bat.

The chocolate divorce
I have a neighbor who’s getting a divorce. She’s a chocoholic. I have another dear friend who is distressed and perplexed about his marriage. He can’t do anything right. His wife is a chocoholic. On a vacation years ago, I impulsively took a small chocolate from the cashier’s stand at the grocery store. I nearly took my husband’s head off the next day. My heart goes out to the chocoholics locked in prisons of criticism, and of course the people around them.
