Yes, Im finally back

I have finally started my weight loss journey. It has not been easy, but for the past month, everything is working out fine. This journey was given to me by God. I know for some that sounds super religious, but thats exactly how things came to be.

I was sick for about 2 weeks with Gastrointestinal issues. I had a serious issue with diarrhea and stomach irritation. I couldnt eat anything without running to the bathroom after it hit my stomach. I was extremely upset... I wasn't upset with the issue, I was more upset that I couldn't EAT! That sounds funny, but for a plus sized woman that was a serious issue. The doctor put me on a strict diet and I followed it until my stomach got better and I was back to eating whatever I wanted. About a month later, I begin to eat out every day. I was backing it up at fast food restaurants and in drive thru's. One Thursday morning, I woke up to excruciating pain in my stomach and my back. I immediately starting vomiting and my stomach felt like it was on fire. It literally boiled and popped like I was going to explode! Everything that hit my tongue sent me in more pain and vomiting. The next day, I had a doctor's visit. It was the Gastrointestinal devil again. I also had a urinary tract infection. I knew exactly what my problem was. I needed to give up fried foods and if I had it, it was only to be in moderation. I had to pray and really ask God's help on this issue. I knew that he had already given me the tools to make it, I just had to be obedient.

I purchased a book called "The Diet Alternative" by Diane Hampton


This book was what I needed to get back on track. It was a biblically based book for a lifestyle change. It helped me to see things God's way. I am now delivered from overeating,condemnation and guilt. I eat to live and not live to eat. I stand before you almost 10 pounds lighter and almost 10 inches slimmer! I truly give God the praises for helping me out of this bottomless pit of food addiction.
