Great quote- Taking Care of our Mortal Bodies

[sing4th]

As simple and as straight-forward as it gets:

"We do not want to harm our mortal bodies, for they are a gift from God, and part of our Heavenly Father’s great plan of happiness is the reuniting of our immortal bodies with our spirits."

~ L.Tom Perry,
member of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles for The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints

That's a great talk. Part of the reason why I'm trying to lose weight. Again.

Now I am embarrassed to admit that I have not actually read the talk. I just recieved that quote in my email inbox (Daily Gems mailing list I am on..)

I am now motivated to do so, because I need motivation to LOOSE the WEIGHT too. I really need to do something more than just wish for it to happen, and having some accountability would be good for me, so I think I will start using LJ for that. Journaling my efforts and progress (that is, being optimistic that there will be any to report...) Eek! It is just that the only way I have ever lost weight before, is by delievering a baby or two, and by going off meds that made me gain it. Never on my own. This will be a first.
