I'm Not on a Diet

Just a sampling of one of the many wise points that Lysa TerKeurst makes in her book, "Made to Crave".... from Chapter 16:

"Diets don't work for me. I seem to be able to sacrifice for a season and then I get tired of sacrificing. I hit my goal weight and then slowly slip back into old habits. The weight creeps back on and I feel like a failure. Like I said, diets don't work for me. So, I'm not on a diet. I'm on a journey with Jesus to learn the fine art of self-discipline for the purpose of holiness. (emphasis added)"

I LOVE that last line!! That's my new motto, and I'm going to repeat it over and over and OVER until it comes as naturally to me as breathing. I'm not on a diet. I'm on a journey with Jesus.
