Luke 12:29 - NLT
'And don't worry about food--what to eat or drink. Don't worry about whether God will provide it for you.'
Clyde was so infuriating! Every time his wife suggested that he go on a diet, he came up with some excuse. Most of the time he just said that diets weren't healthy. He was afraid he would do more harm than good. Clyde knew it was just a dodge. He didn't want to lose weight, and he saw no reason why anyone should want to push him. That all changed when he landed in the hospital with a heart attack brought on because his body simply couldn't carry the weight Clyde contained. Clyde no longer questioned what was right. Instead of doubting the intelligence of dieting, he wondered why he ever been so stupid as to resist it. Sometimes God needs to let us know through crisis what we will not hear normally.
Today's Thought: If it's a choice between dieting or dying, I think I'll diet!

Today's Tip: Back to school! If this means a return to a more hectic schedule don't let your desire to lose weight become your last priority. Write down what you need to do to reach your goals along with the rest of the tasks on your "to do" list. Schedule your daily walk, your trip to the grocery store and some time for yourself to log on to eDiets for a chat session.
