I Must Confess

Most of you know me as the guy who sets the standard for eating healthy in your church. Even sometimes to a falt.  That would all change last night.  The story below will expose my weakness, In hopes that I will humble myself and encourage a few.

Here’s the story:

Both my wife, baby and I are getting over being sick all last week and my wife didn’t have the energy to cook up something healthy. I remembered that one of our youth gave us a Red Robin gift certificate for Christmas that we hadn’t used yet. That’s when it all when wrong. We headed down to our local Red Robin, got a seat and looked over the huge shiny colorful menu.  I lost control and next thing you know I had a Whisky River Cheese Burger, steak fries, Coke and mudslide fudge pie right in front of me.  As I partook of this sinful bliss, nothing mattered to me but conquering that mudslide fudge pie.

I laid in bed last night with my stomach constantly reminding me of all the wonderful things I shoveled into my mouth. I came to the harsh reality that I the “king of organic living” lost self control.

The moral to this story? Not quit sure yet, give me another day to digest my food and I’ll let you know.
