Romans 4:21 - NLT
He was absolutely convinced that God was able to do anything he promised.
Jesus Christ turned water to wine, He walked on the water, and calmed the sea. He cured many diseases and cast out demons. He conquered death for His friend Lazarus and for Himself. He promises that He will be with us and that His power is ours as we try to be the people God created us to be. How, then, can we doubt that He will help us when we need to lose weight? Are not the pounds of our flesh within His scope of power? Cannot the chosen Son of God do such a small miracle in our lives as to give us the determination we need to conquer fat? This He can and will do, and much more, if we will but believe.
Today's Thought: 'More' brought about my distress; help me, Lord, to live by 'less'!

Today's Tip: Health and Diet
Headed to the supermarket? Eat before you go! Often, when you go food shopping on an empty stomach, you tend to select more food items than you normally would if you weren’t hungry. Prepare a food list when you aren’t hungry and stick with it. Once you are there, use this time to brush up on label reading.
