GOD is AWESOME, AMAZING, INFINITE, LOVE. HE IS MY ENCOURAGEMENT, MY COURAGE, MY HOPE, MY STRENGTH, MY SALVATION, REDEEMER, FRIEND, CONFIDANT.. GOD is OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT and without exercising my SPIRITUAL through daily reading of HIS WORD and PRAYER, I could never accomplish the PHYSICAL fitness of life.. HE IS my BREATH, my LIFE.. I cannot PRAY without HIM.. much less function apart from HIM.. HE gives me a mind to choose healthy GOD given foods to fuel my body as HE intended from the beginning of time.. HE IS ENERGIZING, MESMERIZING, so WONDERFUL to me.. I PRAISE HIM MY HEAVENLY FATHER FOR WHO HE IS AND FOR TAKING MY LIFE AS HIS OWN BY WAY OF CALVARY! TO GOD BE THE GLORY IN ALL I SAY AND DO..

Why not. he gave them to you in the first place. Every day, I hope there's a heaven, because I'm gonna ****-punch that dude when I see him.

Happy for you!!! God is very interested in us and all our daily and otherwise considered mundane affairs...He that has started this good work in you would complete it in Jesus Name. Cant wait to celebrate you at your goal weight!

He is also extremely invested in the outcome of reality television shows - that god is one busy dude (or dudette)!

Your post is amazing! So glad you found Our Lord and Savior! With him anything is possible! Without him I would be dead or still lost in my addiction! Good luck on your journey we are all here for you!!

Weight loss has always been my enemy causing me to dislike myself and everything that I could possible conquer in life. This evil illness has caused me to not want to continue, to be the one who fakes a smile, and above all to not know how to love my husband and daughter. I've always heard if you can't love yourself, you can't love anyone else..so i didnt. (extremely selfish, i've come to realize)
4 years ago I decided to give my life to someone who had been there all along although I never knew it. Someone who promised to love me with this unconditional love.. Who am I to deserve this from you, when I've given you nothing in return?
Before Christ I was a victim of several incidents of sexual abuse, which molded me into not trusting any man AT ALL, which led me into living the life of lust and money by using men, and caused me to become depressed, suicidal and just plain hungry to experiance what true love from someone could feel like
. Now I can say, I AM LOVED! I am free! I am redeemed because the blood shed by my Father has cleansed me! I am a new creation.
now I know what love is and now i can show love and i've also learned that my body is my temple and in order to please my Father with my temple, I need to take care of it. This is where MFP comes in. With dedication, PRAYER and God on my side, I know nothing is impossible. I'm ready to see this spirit of obesity flee in the presence of a true daughter of Christ.
I am a pretty busy woman ( wife,mother, employed, part time studen, FULL TIME PRINCESS OF GOD)...but the Bible tells me there is "time for everything: Ecclesiastes 3:1...... i vowe that with the guidance of God I can conquer and retake my health from the hand of the enemy!!!! This is me, I am a Princess of the King!!!

I don't normal post my religious opinions but as you've put it out there in the forums.

Firstly I thought Christians believed that humans are created in the image of God so isn't it against God to dislike yourself and the choices he made for you?

Secondly don't Christians believe that God has a plan for all of us, so why did he plan for you to be over weight, seems strange to do that and then give you the strength to over come it. He could have saved you a lot of heart ache and planned for you to be skinny from day one.

Finally attributing what you have done to some invisible chum discredits your hard work. You lost the weight, you changed your life and you deserve a massive well done for that!

All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot.
Each little snake that poisons,
Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom.
He made their horrid wings.

All things sick and cancerous,
All evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous,
The Lord God made them all.

Each nasty little hornet,
Each beastly little squid--
Who made the spikey urchin?
Who made the sharks? He did!

All things scabbed and ulcerous,
All pox both great and small,
Putrid, foul and gangrenous,
The Lord God made them all.

Amen.
