When goods increase, they are increased that eat them. Ecclesiastes 5:11

This Scripture verse probably has a deeper meaning — but it is true for us who are on a quest to live a healthier, more active life and are losing extra pounds to do so. If we eat more, we won’t reach our goal. We will keep on increasing instead of decreasing. You might copy this verse and put it on your refrigerator door as a reminder. Those extra snacks will make a difference. We have to get out of the habit of self-indulgence. Then we can have what we really want — to feel great and to live a happy, fulfilling life.
