Tell People What You Need

Read Exodus 25-28

Exodus 25:3 "And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,"

Family, friends, and coworkers may want to help us lose weight, but don’t know how. So they’ll come up with their own ideas.

They might try to cheer us up by teasing us only to hurt our feelings. They might seek to strengthen our will power by providing goodies for us to practice resisting, but we end up eating everything we vowed we wouldn’t. So we need to let others know what would be helpful.

Whether we are looking for an exercise buddy or needing someone to just listen while we complain, telling people what we need helps them help us.
