Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. ~James Baldwin

One reason why we don’t see results — we haven’t really faced the seriousness of our need.  It’s easy to compare ourselves to people who are REALLY overweight — and there are always those folks who weigh more than we do.  Just watch daytime tv and you will see them on the talk shows!

But those folks aren’t our business. Our own bodies are our business.  Quit avoiding the mirror and take a good look.  It doesn’t matter if you aren’t gorgeous — because we are going for something better.  We are going for healthy and vibrant.  Do you see a person in the mirror with that type of future — or one  with a future of slowly becoming more and more disabled and sick?

Your weight problem won’t go away until it is faced.

Eating to live and living for Christ,
Susan Jordan Brown
