Romans 5: 3-4 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

Sometimes the healthy diet thing feels like suffering.  When what you want to eat is right in front of you ready to be had, saying no can be a little difficult.  Turning down more can also be trying.  If we focus on all the benefits that we will get from each little decision, it will help propel us through those moments and build our character and increase our hope.  Our hope of a more abundant life right here on earth.  Celebrate the positive moments and the next one will be soon.
