Hi guys, sorry we did not post the past three days. We are still doing good on the diet. Kimberley lost another pound this week. I will weigh myself today. I hope you are all doing well.

Devotion

He loved fried food: meats, vegetables, fish - anything and everything fried. Now he was stuck. He promised his wife that he wouldn't eat any more fried food, but everytime he went into a reastaurant, the old smells came to him and made both his mouth and eyes water. Time after time, he gave in and indulged in fried delights. Guiltily, he would admit his transgressions to his wife, who would scold him, forgive him, and force him to promise not to fall to the tempation again. Forgiveness is important for us to feel when we fall, but we shouldn't take advantage of it. We must always try our best to keep our promises and not ask forgiveness lightly.

Today's Tthought: We need fear no condemnation from God when we fall!
Scripture: Isaiah 55:7

We also need to remember just because we have food we like does not mean we failed. Sometimes we plan to go off or diets in moderation(not gluttony) and sometimes we can have some of our favorite foods and still be within or calories. We can not live so strickly or we will fail. No food is evil just how much we eat.
