2 Timothy 2:5 - NLT
And athletes cannot win the prize unless they follow the rules.
Susan lay looking up at the ceiling in her hospital room. She
couldn't believe everything had turned out as it did. Jill had
promised the pills were safe and that she would lose weight fast.
All the pills had done were to make her violently ill and land her
in the hospital. Shortcuts are not the answer. God has given us
willpower and a miraculous body that repairs itself if we give it
the chance. Dieting doesn't require chemicals or radical exercising.
Dieting requires mastery over our base desires and our selfish
natures. Rely on God. We need nothing else.
Today's Thought: God can do more to help me than anything else I could find!

Today's Tip: Some frozen yogurts -- especially fat-free varieties -- are lower in calories and fat than some ice creams (they average about 200
calories and 0 grams of fat per cup). But remember, some low-fat and
fat-free no-sugar-added ice creams are just as waistline-friendly as
yogurts when it comes to saving calories.
