I often have a fight with the wrong foods so the words ” The best way to win a fight is to avoid getting into one in the first place ” are so true for me . As soon as I start eating the wrong foods I have already lost the battle as I just keep on eating them .
GOD BLESS YOU as you are truly a blessing !

I am starting today with step 1 to go along your study newsletter Overcoming Emotional eating God’s Way.

I literally sat at my computer and prayed I would fine a website that would address weight loss by using the word of God. He gave me you I am so blessed!

I have needed this so much. Struggling with my weight all my life – just want to be at a healthy place, where SUGAR and such foods do NOT have a hold on me anymore. I am seeking the Lord for victory here. I hate feeling bloated and taking so many supplements.

Thank you for this encouragement and plan. I need a “hand to hold” during this and I pray that your site will truly help me. Please pray for me as I venture forward. It’s so hard to find others around me who are full-on with “ditching” sugar and emotional eating! Thank you for being here!!

God led me here. I want to do this right. Like many people, this is not my first time trying to lose weight. But this time is different. I believe that God is in control of this one. I prayed last week for God to teach me how to study His word. I have read the Bible many times, I teach Sunday School, I have been a Christian for a long time, but still I have a lot to learn. After I prayed that prayer, God led me to a desire to lose weight. I had given up on this desire all together because of excessive failure, so this was not my idea. But so far, I have accessed the scriptures in this site and my study has begun. I am looking forward to a new journey with God and maybe some healthy weight loss along the way would be nice too. Thanks Kim for this web site. I know that it will make a huge difference in my walk with God.

This is my first day and I’m scared of failing-I’ve done it too many times before. I’m taking it one day at a time and trusting God. I did the mirror step and repeated Psalms 139:4 three times while hugging myself and actually felt God’s love come over me. I think I can do this one step at a time and with God’s help. I never really stopped to think about the amount of shame I have about my past failures in weight loss.

Drank my water, did my stretches, and my mindful eating. I can’t believe my stomach is the size of my fist. I think I’ve been eating 3 fisted meals, no wonder I’m overweight. LOL Mindful eating is really hard for me, I think I’m ADHD, it’s hard for me to stay focused. My mind starts thinking of other things or I’m trying to hurry up and eat for no apparent reason. I just have to laugh at myself. Why do I do this?

Day 7- No problem with the vitamins, I have been taking vitamins for the last 5 years and it has really made a difference with my health. The mindful eating is a struggle. I made blueberry pancakes for breakfast this morning and by the time I remembered about my mindful eating the pancakes were gone. I need to figure out a way to remind myself to stop and be aware when I’m eating.

Hi, I’m at my biggest I have ever been. I was never a big person until about 4 years ago. Had several surgies, Bells Palsy, stress, anxiety attack, well let’s just say the devil has been busy and I let him in, I wasn’t listening to my body, nor at the time was I calling upon God for help, this was my doing. So yesterday I put out a request of prayer to 7 friends of mine and was honest with myself about battling depression and my obesity and when I got back from lunch your site was in an email sent to me by one of those 7 friends. I read the comments first, then your day 1 and though it is 1:38 p.m., I did my first step, interesting enough I was talking to my daughter about how easy it is to believe that God loves everyone but hard to receive it for yourself and there the scripture Psalms 139:14, I did it at my desk and said it out loud, no mirror but I remember what I looked like this morning. I just want to say, thank you.
