Tired of Gaining Weight or the Guilt & Shame from Emotional Eating?
Be Filled with God's love Instead!
For years, I'd gain at least 5 pounds around the holidays or whenever I felt stressed. I used it as an excuse to break all of my boundaries with the promise that I'd restart my diet after the latest drama or life catastrophe had passed. Because I didn't understand the depth of Christ's love for me and as result, I only focused on feeling satiated by feeling full of my favorite foods, which ironically, left me feeling empty and trapped. I felt anything but free.
Over the years, I've come to realize that without a deeper understanding of God's love for me, I'm lost. I refuse to let overwhelm be a stronghold over me because I simply over-extend myself, and over-eat until I'm stuffed.
So I've chosen to live a new way and choose "Faith over Food" and I invite you to join me.
Every time I feel anxious, scared or overwhelmed, I now engage in a deeper understanding of God's love for me during any of these storms.
Love God, Lose Weight is a 22-Day Devotional that aligns your heart with the heart of our Heavenly Father's and renews your passion to live for HIM and in HIM.
