Chewing the Fat … Our Lady of Weight Loss and Dave Chew the Fat … and passages from the Bible appear!

Dear Our Lady of Weight Loss ~ I gave up the beer and started working at a gym. I lost my beer belly and replaced it with a 6 pack of abs. I started going to church and shared my successes with my congregation. Do you have any spiritual words of wisdom or something from the Bible on weight loss? Please share my story with others. ~ Thanks, Greg, Fort Riley, Kansas
