Galatians 6:9 - NLT
So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.
Janet was tired of dieting. She had been at it for almost six months. She looked better, and knew that she was doing the right thing. Taking the pounds off had been hard, but sometimes Janet felt that keeping them off was even harder. Thin people didn't understand that dieting wasn't just something to do to lose weight. For a person with weight problems, it had to be a way of life. God knows that dieting is hard. He knows dieting can be a bore. More than that, He knows we need help to diet. Rely on God. He won't let you down.
Today's thought: I will take dieting one day at a time, one pound at a time!

Healthier Fast Food.
Eating healthy doesn't mean you can never eat fast food again. The key is understanding what you're ordering. Grilled chicken sandwiches and salads with low-fat dressing are good choices to keep calories in check.
