at first, we are prepared,

meet the resistance

That’s great, Chris….
This is good pastor. I was always criticized for my weight. People would always say hurtful things to me. Some people (skinny people, elderly) think they can say anything and you are supposed to take it. It made me feel so low and worthless that I finally decided to do something about it. I will be 50 years on my birthday and I am determined not to be ever call fat anymore. That is the reason that I eat mostly vegetarian meals and will succeed. The critics will then good comments, instead of negative ones.
