diet devo ~ day fourteen

Jun-23-2007 By mylifeasannie

Good Saturday morning! Matt’s mother and aunt Jane Ellen spent the night last night. I had breakfast casserole ready this morning and mom’s famous cinnamon rolls - YUMMY stuff.
The whole gang (minus me :o) just went for a swim and I had time to shower … It’s going to be a busy day with the visitors and then church after they leave. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; His countenance doth behold the upright.”
Psalm 11:7

Don’t let self-pity become part of your diet. It’s very easy to feel sorry for yourself when you diet. First, you feel bad because you’re overweight. Then you feel bad because of all you have given up. You feel badly because other people don’t seem to understand what you’re going through. They get to eat as they please. All of these things can make dieters feel extremely sorry for themselves. Take heart. God knows what you’re going through, and He is delighted that you care so much about yourself. It is right and good to want to lose weight. Whenever we try to do what we think is right, God supports us completely. Replace self-pity with the blessed assurance that God is on your side.

Today’s thought: Dieting is no reason for self-pity!
