Revelation 21:7 - NLT
'All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.'
Chris thought he was going to die. Why did the gym teacher make the fat kids run track? It wasn't human. His pulse was pounding so hard he thought his eyes might pop out. The finish line looked a million miles away. It wasn't worth it. Somehow he had to lose some of his excess baggage. Nobody could go through life feeling as bad as he presently felt. We need to overcome our weight problems. Life is not meant to be a struggle, but a blessed gift from God. If we will work to be overcomers, then God will bless our efforts and carry us over the finish line.
Today's Thought: With each pound I drop, I move faster toward my goal!

Today's Tip: On a budget?
The price we pay for convenience foods is not only the higher sodium content, but the higher price. You can gain better control over sodium consumption by changing to a recipe based plan for whole, fresh foods. By choosing the same meal 2-3 times per week, you're able to purchase larger sizes which will end up costing less.
