SPEAKING OF WEIGHT...

In response to a question about the battle to lose weight.

At times I have had to overcome the feeling that I would rather be a couch potato than do something active. My excuses have been varied and include—I have too much reading to do or I just feel cozy staying in. But I know those thoughts are not always from God. Science and Health tells us: "Mind's infinite ideas run and disport themselves. In humility they climb the heights of holiness" (p. 514). I love the concept of Mind's ideas being active, and that helps me shake off couch potato mentality—to get up and do something. To express strength and vitality.
