Walking By Sight

I still don't have the battery for my food scale, and so am unable to weight my portions. However, because of my faithfulness in the past I can make a good guess at how much I can eat to stay within my calorie goal until I get to the store (and remember that I need a battery).

It's scary for me--am I eating enough? Too much? So I'm going with my real hunger and trying to eat about the same as I do when I weigh my portions. I realized today that I don't need to fear. God knows my heart. I'm not trying to pull one over on Him like I used to do. (As if I couldn't ever do that! What was I thinking?).

So I broke down and weighed myself today to make sure that I haven't gained--and I haven't. I'm down two and a half pounds since the first of the year, so I'm must be ballparking my servings pretty accurately.
