I can see you giving this as a speech in front of a mass of people - it's powerful just reading it, but imagine if you were speaking these words! Our town is having the same conversation about our local college's former football coach. He was very much overweight and couldn't lead the team to victory despite several years trying. He was eventually replaced by another coach; this one is considerably fit. The new coach made that same comment: 'how can I be a role model and tell these young men what they need to do if I don't adhere to the same rules?' Great post, as always.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206154638036351459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614746678835590944.post-30291725991784097652010-11-01T14:48:19.162-07:002010-11-01T14:48:19.162-07:00I love this post, Joy!

And brutally honest.<br /><br />I know you wrote them with the intention of helping others... and I suspect you did just that!!<br /><br />Very thought-provoking. You have a very graphic writing style, and I think even if someone who read this (and the last post, too!) isn't quite ready, they will remember what they read here, like little seeds planted into their minds.<br /><br />And someday, at the right time, those seeds will sprout!<br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614746678835590944.post-35260263987093433682010-10-31T18:17:22.550-07:002010-10-31T18:17:22.550-07:00Bravo on this post, great message.

Sometimes I catch myself looking at someone while wondering 'why do they keep stuffing their face, can't they see what it is doing to them'?... and then a moment later realize that I am that way too, or, I was for a long long time.<br /><br />Just because that person has not 'gotten it' yet and has not chosen to get healthy does not mean they won't. Hopefully they will sooner than later, and that they can enjoy some of the grand success a many a blogger we follow has. <br /><br />Thankfully we got it eventually. We are not what were were the day before we started to embark on out mission. We have grown into better people in many ways. We are healthier versions of who we were then and getting healtier each day.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11534171345610201608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614746678835590944.post-23004769513547325162010-10-31T17:40:48.713-07:002010-10-31T17:40:48.713-07:00It IS a new day, and you are right - God did not c...It IS a new day, and you are right - God did not created us to be abusing food.
