Handheld foods

Before I start, I just want to emphasize that my massage therapist did indeed kick my ass and inflict pain on my body. Which, ultimately is a good thing, but man oh man am I sore today! I never realized how tense my body is. I can't wait until I can get past that and get on to relaxing massage. I think I'm going to do a two hour one next time.

Anyway, so we talked about the danger of handheld foods and how we tend to take a handful, eat it, and take another handful, and so on. "Snacks aren't really bad food. They just have a sneaky ability to hook you into overeating without realizing it." So you have to figure out ways of avoiding this. The book suggested putting things on plates/bowls and eating the snacks with forks and spoons. Which, I can understand the plates and bowls thing, but how fricken retarded are you gonna look if you eat m&ms with a fork? Seriously. Not gonna happen. Next thing you know I'll be slicing it in fourths and taking a small bite to savor it :) Anyway, I think the separating out a portion for yourself is a good way to do it. That way, if you really really want the snack, you can taken some, know how much you have, and not indulge mindlessly.

"Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the King." 1 Peter 2:16-17

I feel like there's so much here, and I don't have the brain to suggest it. I liked, was confused, and had questions about this verse. Hm. I don't even know. Something to mull on.
