Psalm 103:2-3 Dear Lord, Thank you, Lord, for all you’ve done for me. Don’t let me forget that you are always blessing me whether I notice it or not. Thank you for forgiving my sins, and thank you for healing me. I trust you and love you, Lord. Amen 詩篇103:2-3 親愛なる主よ、 主よ、あなたが私のためにしてくださったすべてのことに感謝します。私が気づこうが気づくまいが、あなたはいつも私を祝福してくださっていることを、私に忘れさせないでください。私の罪を赦し、癒してくださってありがとうございます。主よ、あなたを信じ、あなたを愛します。 アーメン

One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to stop feeling guilty about throwing food away if I don’t like it.
I don’t know if Mom told us to finish our plates, but I don’t think she did. I think this is just part of my own neurotic psyche. I have always been someone who wants things complete. Completely empty, completely smooth, completely full, completely whatever.
(Yes, I’m weird.)
The point is that I would always clean my plate. Even if I was eating something that wasn’t horrible, but wasn’t great either.
Now that’s a good thing if Mom was making me eat vegetables. But now that I’m older and eating vegetables voluntarily (and enjoying them, even), why this compulsion to finish whatever I have on my plate?
This is especially bad if I’m trying to eat smaller portions. I have a hard time taking less food, so if I can learn to stop eating and leave food on my plate, I think that’ll help with my weight loss.
Also, if I don’t particularly enjoy eating something, why bother finishing it? It’s stupid. I don’t know why I do it. So I’m going to stop. If I taste something and I don’t like it, I’m going to THROW IT AWAY. And I refuse to feel guilty about wasting food.
Life is too short to waste it eating something I don’t like. Why waste my calorie count on it, anyway? I’d rather eat something I enjoy. And hopefully this will teach me to savor my next choice of food a bit more, especially if I just threw away something I didn’t like.
I feel like a rebel.
How about you? Any problems throwing food away?

I think this is one of those things that's beaten down do deeply that it's almost impossible to overcome! You've GOT to clean your plate no matter what! But how silly is that? Calories are calories and they're so much worse if you don't even like what you're eating or if you're already full....you can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
