Is slimming via artificial means/help (i.e. weight-loss programmes at slimming centres) in fact shirking responsibility over control of your body? Is it not taking responsibility for the lifestyle choices that you make when you choose not to be self-controlled in your diet and lifestyle, and THEN getting someone else to fix it for you? (when I say fix it for you, I mean, artificial means like liposuction and goodness-knows-what. I think getting a personal trainer to help you is fine. At least you're also putting in some effort, just that maybe you need some instruction.)
Disclaimer:
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being plus-sized. Neither does this discussion/question include those who are getting help for obesity due to medical reasons and such.

Prayer for myself...
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Prayer Requests...
Career direction: Need godly wisdom in making important decisions and for God to open the way to ST if He so wills.
Spiritual Walk: Discipline in being consistent. Need a revival.

Creating a Web Page with HTML Just bought this from Popular not too long ago. Essential for a computer dodo like me. Pretty user-friendly lay-out and the colours in there help =)
