"The Lord rewarded me for doing right; he compensated me because of my innocence." II Samuel 22:21

Don't expect God to make you thin. You have to do the hard part for yourself. Do know this, however: God will bless you beyond your wildest hopes if you will put forth your best efforts and not give up. When we show Him we really are serious about being better people. He is pleased beyond measure, and He will do all kinds of wonderful things to help us along. When we refuse to give into the temptations, to dirty our hands, then God will reward us and lift us up. All He asks is that we give our best effort. If we do that, we will succeed.

Today's thought: God is pleased by my best effort to lose weight!
