Hi, my name is Mary and I am overweight lol...I feel like I should be going to Overeaters Anonymous or something :) I am 34, and for the last 15 years I have tried several "diets" in hopes of becoming healthier. However, I haven't EVER tried doing it WITH God or His guidance....In November, I am going on a mission trip to Haiti and my hope of all hopes is that I can lose a significant amount of weight by that time and that I can draw closer to God through this journey...I am looking for "wise women of faith" that could help hold me accountable and give me advise as I work toward my goal :)

    Feel free to add me. I've found that MFP friends, particularly christian ladies have helped no end in being accountable and encouraged...

    msuffel78's post inspired me to dig out my Devotions for Dieters book, and I found that I had written this scripture on an index card to serve as a bookmark:

    For the kingdom of God is not eating or drinking,but righteousness & peace & joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17

    Feel free to add me too! :D

    I've struggled with ED and emotional eating since I was 16. (18 years)

    I FINALLY realized that I needed to give it to God a few months ago. For some reason I never thought of doing so before.

    HE has changed me. I am much less of an emotional eater now, because of HIM.
