Romans 8:37: Yet in all, despite all, and amid ALL THESE DIFFICULTIES (tribulation, trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, famine, nakedness, danger, or a violent martyr's death, in 8:35), WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS, WE OVERWHELMINGLY OVERCOME, WE ARE TRIUMPHANTLY VICTORIOUS, AND OVERWHELMING VICTORY IS OURS, due to and through Christ who loved us; and NOTHING shall separate us from His love (in 8:35).

Storms WILL come into our lives. Guaranteed. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass ... or moaning when the storm is predicted ... or asking 'why me' when the storm hits your house. Life is about learning to build your house on the Rock so it can withstand the beating of life's storms, instead of building your house on shifting sand. See Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus' parable of The Wise and Foolish Builders. For many years I've been a foolish builder. No more. To find out how build wisely, see the preceding in Matthew chapters 5, 6, & 7 where He spells out and tells you plainly how to be a Wise Builder. — CarolFaithWalkr

What About Exercise? by Reinhard Engels, www.nosdiet.com:

Of course you should exercise. Diet can't substitute for exercise. You need to do both. If you're having trouble figuring out what exercise to do, consider walking. If you feel walking is too, well, pedestrian, get over it. Health-wise, it's the best long term exercise you can do, and the only consistently useful or interesting one. If you need more color, you'll get plenty using my homemade exercise device as a supplement.

The No S Diet is about eating in MODERATION. If you can lose significant weight without exercise, you're not eating moderately -- you're eating immoderately LITTLE. That's not sustainable or good.

Don't look at your problem as being too heavy. Look at your problem as two behavioral problems 1) eating too much 2) moving too little. Both of these need to be solved. Solving just one "too much" isn't a real solution.

I know people hate to be told they ought to exercise, but I really think coming at it from these two directions makes it much easier, because you don't have to do THAT much from either. You don't need 3 hour workouts. Try 14 minutes.

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

“All truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident. Facts are stubborn, and refusal to accept them does not avoid their inexorable effects-the tragic consequences are now upon us” ~Hellen Keller.

“Most men can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, have proudly taught to others, and have woven thread by thread into the fabric of their lives.” ~ Tolstoy
