Nobody trips over mountains.  It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble.  Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain.  ~Author Unknown

How many times have you accomplished something difficult,  like a major workout session or resisting temptation at a big party, and then messed up your plan with something trivial?  It’s finishing up the chips in the bag or eating what the kids left on their plate — things that we don’t even really want — that are the pebbles that often cause us to stumble.

Our challenge for today?  Watch out for the sneaky little things with calories that add up to pounds.

Eating to live and living for Christ,
Susan Jordan Brown
