Philippians 4:11 - NLT
Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to get along happily whether I have much or little.
Sam remembered the POW camp he had spent six years in. Whenever he began to feel sorry for himself as he dieted, he remembered the time in his life when he really had something to be upset about. Dieting was nothing compared to what he had suffered. It humbled him a little. He gained great strength from the memory. God had gotten him through the war, so he knew God could get him through the diet. As long as he had the memory of all he had come through before, he knew he could make it through anything else that came his way.
Today's Thought: God brings me through every situation, whether large or small.

Today's Tip: Health and Diet
Weight loss won’t last if you fast! The body, especially the brain, requires a steady supply of glucose (energy from carbohydrates) in order to function properly. Glucose is stored in the muscles and liver as “glycogen,” and for every gram of glycogen stored, there are three grams of water. So when glycogen stores are diminished during a fast, water is lost, not pounds.
