Girls' Night - Complete with Knife

I’m going to a Girls’ Night gathering in an hour and a half.  We’re all supposed to bring various scrumptious dishes to share.  I’ve had two small protein shakes today—that’s it.  That is by design.  (Hear the chant:  Beach, beach, beach, beach….)

Tonight will be a true test of my mettle.  Can I (well, of course I can, technically) control myself or will my willpower detach from my person, slide to the floor, and get kicked off into a corner? 

Tonight, I must take these words to heart: 

“When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:  And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man (woman in my case) given to appetite. (Yep, that’s me!) Be not desirous of his dainties for they are deceitful meat." 
                                                         Proverbs 23:1-3

Pray for me….
