James 4:8
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

The cake looked great. Jim waited as long as he could, then, when his wife left the room, he grabbed a small piece. Thinking he would stuff it quickly into his mouth before his wife returned, he turned quickly, and the cake fell from his hand. He reacted instinctively and snatched the falling cake. As his wife reentered, he tried to hide his cake-covered hand, but to no avail. He was caught, and there was no way to deny it. We need to stick to our diets and keep our hands clean of the foods we know we should avoid. Draw close to God and away from food. It's the best way.

Diana-doing good on your steps and eating! Keep it up. 😊

Girl81- you are so close. I am happy for you. It is only natural for me to go up/ down a few pounds. 5 lbs or more, then I start to worry. But you can tell what’s best for you.

Good evening! Did 2 miles Leslie Sansone before I left for work this morning. Power walked and ran errands before I punched in. Have a load of laundry in the dryer. Will power walk to and home from supper tonight. 😁🐰😷🐇

I've made an appointment to see a therapist. I feel as though I could benefit from some professional help in understanding and managing my thoughts, emotions, and habits.

Good morning again! Will have breakfast and work out in a few minutes, 😁🐰😷🐇

Good Morning, Everyone!

Girl81 Keeping you in prayer. I struggle, also with my thoughts, emotions and the endless cycle of "videos" that goes through my head at times. Recently I decided when these thoughts come into my head to start singing a hymn. This has been helping me.

Great job, Ciecie!

Exodus 33:14
And he said, 'My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.'

The most effective diets are those with planned 'cheating' in them. Just as the children of Israel set aside a day for fasting from their daily bread, Christian dieters should set aside a day to indulge in the foods they enjoy. This makes the dieter more thankful for the special treats, as well as making the diet much more tolerable. It gives us something to look forward to, and it erases guilt from the process. We all need rest, and we will find new strength and courage when we break our diet fast occasionally.

Today's thought: Even dieters deserve a day off.

Hi all! Thanks Diana! Had breakfast. Will go for a power walk and run errands in a few minutes, 😁🐇😷🐰

Deuteronomy 33:27
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee: and shall say, 'Destroy them.'

It's strange to think of food as 'the enemy,' but that's the best way to look at it if we want to be effective in our diets. Taking off the pounds is a battle. In every battle we need ammunition. As Christians, our ammunition comes from the Spirit of God that dwells within us all the time. God becomes our fortress; our refuge against the assaults of fattening foods. If we think we can fight the battle alone, we will find it doesn't take long before we tire. At those times we will wish we had someone to take over. Thank the Lord that God is there, and He never tires of fighting alongside His children.

Today's thought: Dieting makes losers winners!
