Devotions for Dieters
A 365-Day Guide to a Lighter You

March 18

2 Timothy 1:12

. . .I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

'You can't lose weight. You've never stuck with anything in your whole life.' Those words haunt me all the time-every time I slip and eat something I know I shouldn't. I hate it when people think I'm too weak to succeed in my diet. I hate it even more when I prove them right. Still, being ashamed of failing at my diet is often good for me. If I am ashamed enough, then it helps me stick with it the next time. God has helped me a lot to conquer negative shame. I have committed my diet to Him, and He is true to help me keep on track.

Today's thought: I'll prove to all my skeptical friends that I am capable of losing weight.

Ha! Never caught that. I am springing forward looking to the refuge of warmer weather.

"for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." And, of course, I read that whole part in tune as the song. Powerful. I have had 'ups' in which I am so determined to get this weight off and 'be me' again, and then turn around and suffer with the 'lows' that it's too hard. But "I know whom I have believed" and I have met some true encouragers here, it makes such a difference. :yes:

You are right on, Grace. I know in whom I believe, and the days that down, are tossed out with yesterday's refuse.
