I certainly agree with you here.Ian wrote:I`ve come to see competition as antithetical to the values that we`ll see in the kingdom of God. "I`m prettier than her" "I`m fitter than him". But if that can be kept out of it (not terribly easy) then, yes, one is bound to look in the mirror (if only to prevent others having to endure looking at a tramp) and yes, what Christian wouldn`t prefer to occupy a leaner, fitter body than a fat one?
One thing I didn't mention as a motivation is that I am a pretty bad procrastinator. It is ok to procrastinate on some things. But I got to thinking, what if i procrastinate myself into a heart issue or diabetes? Very unwise.
