Today in the morning I thought I was over the hump. Once the stomach problems of the morning subsided, I thought that I was home free. I was certain that I wouldn't be experiencing that intense hunger or lethargy anymore. I was completely wrong however.
This blog is being written from a remote location. I'm in Indiana right now and at a birthday party for a one year old. The hardest part about today was resisting the pizza, ice cream and cake. Not to mention it's kinda hard for a social drinker like myself not to drink socially.
Today was a great lesson in restraint. Restraint that I haven't practiced in a long time. I can't believe I've gone a week without solid food already. A week without alcohol. I must admit my skin is clearing up a lot. I think I have found the key to defeating eczema.

Ezra 9:12-15 MSG
Whatever you do, don't give your daughters in marriage to their sons nor marry your sons to their daughters. Don't cultivate their good opinion; don't make over them and get them to like you so you can make a lot of money and build up a tidy estate to hand down to your children.' And now this, on top of all we've already suffered because of our evil ways and accumulated guilt, even though you, dear God, punished us far less than we deserved and even went ahead and gave us this present escape. Yet here we are, at it again, breaking your commandments by intermarrying with the people who practice all these obscenities! Are you angry to the point of wiping us out completely, without even a few stragglers, with no way out at all? You are the righteous God of Israel. We are, right now, a small band of escapees. Look at us, openly standing here, guilty before you. No one can last long like this."
