Devotions for Dieters A 365-Day Guide to a Lighter You April 16 James 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. When you get really serious about losing weight, you have no alternative but to develop patience. There are no safe, quick ways to lose a lot of weight. It takes time. The body takes a long time to build up, and it takes a long time to wear down. However, the person who sticks with her diet will be amazed to find that the longer it's adhered to, the easier it gets. A time comes when the diet is no big deal. In many cases, people find they prefer their diet to their former way of eating. Patience is an elusive trait, but once it is attained, it is its own reward. Today's thought: Patience would be a lot easier if it didn't take so long to get.
