If you REALLY want to read how Christ helped me throughout this weight loss and even when I was tempted, you should read some of the 100's of previous posts on https://christianovereaterssupport.blogspot.com/

I Hungered After Food, but I Was Never Filled...

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6

I hungered after food, but I was never filled. I hungered after the approval of others, but I was never filled. I hungered after a good job, but I was never filled. I hungered after a promotion, but I was never filled. I hungered after nice clothes, but I was never filled. I hungered after financial stability, but I was never filled. I hungered after a house, but I was never filled. I hungered after a thin body, but I was never filled. I hungered after...

It has only been when I've turned to God with any of these issues from food to jobs, to a thin body, that God gives me peace no matter what situation I'm in, no matter what my finances or my status are.  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6
