Life continues to move forward, even as we follow a weight loss journey. Challenges that come up can derail us as we try to move forward for our health. When we are weak and downtrodden, we must find strength in our Creator:

PHILIPPIANS 4:13

PSALM 103:1-5
Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
