September 18


Hebrews 10:23 - NLT
Without wavering, let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.

Kelly believed God would help her. At least, she wanted to believe that God would help. Sometimes she wasn't so sure. She'd begin to doubt, then fear would set in, and she'd comfort herself with a bowl of ice cream or a chocolate bar. Then she'd get mad at herself, she'd pray for help once more, and the whole cycle would start again. If only she could stay convinced that God was with her to give her strength. Kelly knew it wasn't God's fault that she kept giving in. It was her own wavering. Perhaps Kelly's prayer should have been for strength of faith, rather than strength of diet will-power.

Today's Thought: I don't think God will help me lose weight; I know it!

Today's Tip:

Secret of Successful Weight Loss
The real secret of successful weight loss is to fill up your stomach with healthy lower calorie food. Because a full stomach is your best protection against food temptation, binges, cravings and other diet disasters.

DON'T go hungry.
If you do, you'll reach for something that makes you fat.

It's ALWAYS better to eat a little too much, than not enough.
Because not enough leads to diet catastrophe!
