October 9


Isaiah 26:4 - NLT
Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

Lettuce! Celery! Low-fat cottage cheese! Yeesh! It never got any more interesting. The same old bland foods got tiresome after awhile. Debbie thought she would go crazy before long. She knew what she was doing was a good thing. She really wanted to lose weight. She wanted to look and feel great. Sometimes she didn't know whether it was going to pay off. She believed that God was happy with her desire to lose weight. She trusted that He would help her. Often, it was only the strength she received from trying to please God that kept her going. She was thankful that God gave her that kind of strength.

Today's Thought: The only thing I'll give us is being fat!

Today's Tip:
Time your eating and activity patterns correctly. Don’t go all day without eating or you’ll be more like to binge on unhealthy foods when you do finally eat. If most of your physical activity takes place during the day, make breakfast and lunch your larger meals. Enjoy small, healthy snacks in between meals. Keep things light and lean in the evenings. Remember, food is fuel. Use the energy when you need it most.
