I’m gonna be shutting down the computer until after Thanksgiving.

At least for blogging, facebooking & twittering

Got a lot to get done. Lot of school to get caught up on.

Lots of cleaning too. {oh,happy day}

Accountability.

I need it. Think that I want it. Ask for it. Get it.

Get defensive when asked. (I can see David nodding his head)

Ugh!

Why is that?

The two areas I need it most are in my Bible reading & eating habits.

I told David a couple weeks ago that I wanted him to hold me accountable
when it comes to doing my devotion & Bible reading.

He’d call, leave little notes or send me emails asking if I’d read my bible that day.
I reply, tell him yes, or that I’ll be getting to it soon.

No big deal.

Then I get busy during the day. Miss my quiet time. David asks. I get defensive. And snap.
I really get mad, when he asks right before bed, and I’m reading a magazine or favorite fiction book.
Not mad at him, I mean he’s just doing what I asked him to do right? He just happens to get
the ugly look or eye roll…

Can you say conviction?

Then there is the whole diet/eating thing. I don’t even ask anymore.
Cause bless their heart if they ask me, not matter if I told them to or not, I get WAY too defensive.

Be it David, family member, friend or the lady standing at the Weight Watchers scale, don’t ask me
if I really need to be eating that extra piece of cake, unless you want to wear it. HA!

Y’all, I even stood and somewhat argued with a lady that weighed me in one day at Weight Watchers. She said something
about my gaining a pound or two.  I was fine until she said how I need to watch what I eat……. excuse me?
I had been starving myself {not really} adding up those stupid points, and writing every.single.thing down
I put in my  mouth.

I can’t remember exactly what I said, but the gist of it was this…… I have been watching what I eat…..it’s that
time of the month, I’m retaining water….that’s why my weight it up this week thankyouverymuch!

{sigh}

So, do you like to be held accountable? Do you get defensive?
Do you hold anyone accountable?

I don’t think I can ever hold anyone accountable when it comes to dieting or healthy eating.
If they felt guilty about eating a piece of cake………..
I’d suggest eating a bowl of ice cream……..it makes everything better! haha!
