I overate to ease my pain, to provide comfort, food was my friend. I ate when I was tired, bored, excited, nervous, stressed, or because others were eating. My weight was once over 150 pounds which was uncomfortable for a female of only 5'2". The Lord made me aware that I was turning to food instead of Him. I had made food my idol. The Lord has used the scripture in the Setting Captives Free course to change my relationship with Him, my husband, my kids, family and friends. He has transformed me from sins of overeating, laziness, bitterness, envy, selfishness, and discontentedness. I have learned that God uses our need to eat as a reminder to seek Him moment by moment. He wants to be in our thoughts continually and loves us dearly. The Lord has taught me to deny the desires of my flesh and live for Him. My obedience has proven fruitful with weight loss of over 10 pounds. Thank the Lord for a great reward. Kristina Beginning weight: 140 Current Weight: 129
