Craving God Day 6

Friends Dont Let Friends Eat Before Thinking.....
Thought for the day: Its possible to muster up the occasional gumption to avoid the slippery slope of compromising a diet. But more often than not, we need measures of accountability. For me,(the author) one of the most effective accountability measures has been mutually tracking progress with a friend.
The author says I love the song by the Supremes that says, Stop in the name of love, before you break my heart. Think it over. Who would have thought this classic tune could apply to so much more than a girlfriend warning her wayward beau? Contained within the melody is a powerful statement that applies to many areas of our life: Think it over. I wonder how many bad choices & severe consequences could have been averted if that three-word statement had been applied. A good way to help in this area is to have an accountability partner or friend to help track your progress. Talk about what you will be eating each day. Then report back whether you stuck to the plan or battled with temptation. Their motto was If its not part of the plan, dont put it in your mouth.
