skinny fat? sounds like some sit ups oughta do the trick.
Also when u take time with the Bible it doesnt have to be embarrasing and all public and out there (infact its much better if its not most of the time) i get get what you mean i had a real struggle of this myself and after 3 years its gone down a bit, it wont go down by itself take action. I believe that trying to indulge in the Bible and yeh engagaing in Christian activities helps. but dont get it twisted its not easy.
again, good luck g
At least youve taken the 1st good step in confessing
