Since I have used this Bible passage as an example of how the Lord God has positively influenced my overeating, this doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the verse. Debbie

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/

Why Share My Weight Loss?

Glorify the Lord with Me; Let Us Exalt His Name Together. Psalm 34:3

 You may think: "That's great that you lost over 80 pounds by turning control of things over to Christ and His allowing the majority of the weight to stay off for over 30 years. I just don't understand why you share your weight loss."

 Well, that would be a good question. You could probably understand if I said that I've lost all this weight and showed pictures of myself in clothing that accentuated this weight loss. But that's not what I felt that Christ was leading me to do. He did major miracles in my life far beyond the actual weight loss. These involved being honest with myself and turning over many of my weaknesses as He drew attention to them. In return, Christ has given me a sense of peace that goes far beyond knowing I can fit into smaller dress sizes. I know that Christ will be with me and my loved ones through the good things and the bad and never will dessert us.

 Sure, sharing my many shortcomings with others is definitely not glamorous and not always easy to do. It's worth it though if any viewers also realize they don't have to be perfect or wear a size six to realize how very much Christ loves them, imperfections and all. It's made such a difference in my life, how could I keep that to myself, because Christ wants it for you too! Then we can exalt His name together!

Since I am applying these Bible Verses to my life, it may not convey the whole meaning of the verses. Debbie
