I'm a pastor and last week at a pastor's dinner i was reminded the importance of what i'm doing in trying to get healthy...not just to lose weight, but to live. Far too often ministers tend to have that "dunlap" problem, which is one of the things i'm working on myself.
I was wondering if there are any other pastors or ministers on here?

be God's

    My husband and I are in ministry; we have a church and a homeless shelter for men. The hours combined with the emotional strains have contributed to some really bad choices with our eating and exercising. We are trying to get back on track and get these temples restored. Be glad to support one another in our efforts. :happy:

    I'm not currently a pastor but I am in seminary right now. I feel like I need to get my body healthy not just for me, but for the Lord really. I feel like I am not taking care of what he has entrusted me with, and I need to do something about that. I am definitely praying for His help with this though!

    Glad to see i'm not alone. I used to joke that i had rented out the Temple to a chinese buffet...but now it is time to reclaim it for God!! Keep up the good work!
