"Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her!" Luke 1:45
I think that I approached my having excess weight as if it were a broken promise by the Lord. First of all, the Lord never promised that I would be thin! But after reading in the Bible all those years about the Lord's giving people what they requested in prayer, I felt disappointed He hadn't given me mine!
Of course, it's easy to blame everyone else, including God for things, when we don't want to take responsibility for our actions. I'm not really talking about my actions in choosing to overeat, but my actions related to my prayers and faith. If I weren't so busy trying to be in control over everything, my problems, and those of everyone else and turned them and the stress of them, into the Lord's very capable hands, things might have been different.
Fortunately for me, the Lord took pity on me, and showed me despite of my "control issues," that food had become a false god to me! I had turned to food for comfort during stressful times, mine and of others I knew, instead of prayerfully turning these issues over into the very capable hands of Christ. Once, it finally sunk in, and I finally started turning my stress over to the Lord, my whole life started to change! He can also do that for you, as well, if you let Him!
