In His Image Testimony:

I had been totally obsessed with my weight for at least 5 years. I found it impossible to think about anything other than the calorific content of food, because of this, I have lost friends, i have never worked hard enough to succeed in school, and I never really tried to know God. All these things would come between me and my goal to lose weight, I reasoned. For 5 years my weight fluctuated wildly as I went through periods of refusing to eat and periods of eating absolutely everything in sight. I was hyper sensitive and always angry, obviously the thing I though would bring me happiness was leaving me miserable. All through my sin and self idolatry, I felt God reminding me of His love, telling me he was there if I ever decided to turn to Him. I am ashamed I took so long to finally decide to seek Him, but when I did, He really changed me. When I found this course i did not want to stop destructive eating habits. But as I continued to submit the lessons God began to change my heart and as I was transformed on the inside, my actions started to honour Good too. It took a while, but I can now say that my whole attitude towards food and weight has changed, there are still times I am frustrated with how I look and how much I weigh, but I now KNOW that God loves me as I am, and that makes me want to live for Him and honour him with my actions. While I used to try to eat nothing all day, and if i did eat I would feel like i may as well binge, i now know the meaning of discipline and moderation. I have leaned how to discern hunger and act accordingly. God has made so many changes, firstly in my mind, which finally feels free, and also in my actions. I am so greatful and i pray that i will be able to bless others and help them to overcome this sin.
