Jesus and My Weight Loss Journey

Overweighted: Lose Weight by Focusing on Faith, Biblical Weight Loss Strategies

Nov 8 2023 • 14 mins

In episode 103, In my weight loss journey, I struggled for years, repeatedly losing and regaining weight. I found a game-changing strategy by focusing on gradual lifestyle changes instead of dieting. However, I still grappled with old habits and cycles. Then, I began business coaching with a Christian coach, which unexpectedly evolved into spiritual coaching. She posed a profound question: 'Is God enough for me?'

I thought I could confidently answer 'yes,' but as I delved deeper, I realized that I had been seeking love and comfort outside of Him for most of my life. Emotional pain led me to use food as a coping mechanism, contributing to my weight gain. It became a protective wall, but also a suffocating prison.

Through my weight loss journey and deepening relationship with God, two crucial changes occurred:

  1. I discovered that all the love I craved was in Jesus.
  2. Instead of turning to food, I turned to God for comfort and healing.

Listen as I share the story and why it’s important to you.
