Weight Loss is a very serious topic in my life. I've experienced the trauma of being fat, unhealthy and it was very discouraging. I allowed the stress of life, being lonely, frustrations and so many other things to cause me to be an emotional eater trying to surpress my pain with food which never worked it only made things worse of-course. My remedy for losing over 100 pounds is found in Christ Jesus and Him alone. When I got tired of being ashamed and hiding from people, life and myself, I called on Jesus. I would find a quiet place to cry out to God and write down all my emotions. I have found that writing journals are very theraputic and a place of facing yourself. Take time daily to go before the throne of grace and talk to God.

Write out your emotions and wait quietly in His presence for guidance and direction and what ever you feel He's saying to you, write it down. Our bodies are the temple of the living God and He desires for us to live a healthy and whole life. You can do it because God is with you.
