Job 11:15 - NLT
Then your face will brighten in innocence. You will be strong and free of fear.
What a marvelous feeling, being able to stand up in front of the diet group and tell them she had lost forty-four pounds! Marcie never thought she'd see the day. She remembered all the times when, with great embarrassment, she had to confess that she was not even close to her goal. Those days were behind her. All the doubts and guilt were over. The groups had been a great help, too, as God had been. Her faith was a large reason that she was able to stay with it as well as she did. Praise God, everything worked out. She held her head high and shared her great news with the group that had helped her so much.
Today's Thought: Doubting never helps get things done!

Today's Tip: Buying the Healthiest Dairy Foods.
Milk, yogurt and cheese are excellent sources of calcium, but regular varieties have too much saturated fat. Switch to low-fat or nonfat varieties (3 grams or less of total fat per serving).
********************
LEMON CHEESECAKE
2 cups nonfat yogurt cheese
7 tablespoons sugar (or to taste)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 egg whites, lightly beaten (or 1 egg and 2 whites)
1 lemon, juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel, or 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 7-inch springform or 8-inch pie pan.
Combine yogurt cheese, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and vanilla, mixing gently with a fork or wire whisk until well blended. Stir in the eggs.
Pour into prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until the center is set, 20 to 25 minutes (pie pan) or 55 minutes (springform). Cool slightly and refrigerate, uncovered, for 24 hours.
Serves 8.
