Devotions for Dieters A 365-Day Guide to a Lighter You October 11 1 Peter 3:13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? Kim's mother felt so sorry for her. She remembered what it was like to be overweight. All the other children were so cruel. She could still feel the sting of all the nicknames people had put on her. Now, Kim was suffering the same indignities. Her mother hoped she could get Kim on a diet, if for no other reason than to keep Kim's classmates from taunting her so mercilessly. Just taking steps to correct the problem made it easier to take. The insults didn't hurt so much after the problem was taken care of. Together, they would lose the weight. With God's help, time would heal the wounds of unkind words. Today's thought: I will put all my excess weight behind me! |

This hit close to home. My 9-year old is the victim of a name-caller at school and unfortunately her chosen name is 'fat' (although she's not). It's hard when she's already starting to show signs of self-consciousness and wanting to fit into the world's images of thinness. It feels worse to see her going through this than when I was a child and had hurt feelings. The only things I can do are pray and hope I can be a better example to her as time goes on. We exercise together now(praise God!), so that's a good start. And I'm careful not to mention 'diet' or do any extreme dieting around her. |

I have to commend you for your sensible gut reaction of making exercise with Mommy fun and prayer. I am really disturbed at school bullies. I deal with a number of youths who are in this category, and I can only compliment them for keeping a level head. |
