Many women live their entire lives in bondage to food and their weight, never discovering the keys to unlock the chains. God has given us everything we need to unlock our freedom and live a victorious life (see John 10:10), but it takes more than willpower to live the abundant life He provided!
If you feel like you are in bondage to food or your weight, you can be released from this bondage and experience the joy of a balanced and free life...and it all begins when we run to Jesus, and start...
“She’s fat.”
Writing those words even now feels like a fresh wound. They were words I overheard spoken by a girl with whom I attended high school and with whom I had previously been best friends. She uttered them to a mutual friend of ours not knowing I was just a few steps away and could overhear. Only, that evening, I didn’t just overhear them. The moment those words crossed her lips I took ownership of them, put them on and wore them as my identity. The truth is, they were just one more...
“Your focus determines your direction.”
You’ve probably heard that saying before, but have you ever really paused, considered and applied it in your life? There’s profound truth in that little bitty statement. The Bible says it this way, “As a man thinks so shall he be.” What we think about, pour our energy into, meditate on, and direct our focus to tend to increase in our lives.
Let me give you an example from my own life. I've spent the better part of my life a little miffed with God about...
I honestly can’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t worried about body image or food choices. I learned from an early age what food was good and what food was bad. If you did eat the “bad” food, there were always comments and guilt to follow. I developed very compulsive behavior around food at an early age. I would hide food in my closet, binge and then feel so much guilt. I never had a healthy relationship with food. After moving out on my own and being free to do my own grocery...

My story, my testimony really, began many years ago before I formed a relationship with Jesus. I was blind to faith and trying to will my way through the turbulent waters of life on my own. Every setback, failure, or struggle, I viewed as my own oversight, never once realizing that by relinquishing control to God I could finally begin to understand my path, see the fruit of my labor, and most importantly realize that I don’t have to go on this journey alone!
The summer of 2010 is when my life...
I Need to be healthier. Smarter choices. No more fast food. No one really notices.
I Need to be thinner. Obsessive calorie counting. More time at the gym. Getting lots of compliments now.
I Need to be the skinniest girl in the room. Dangerous restriction. Join a second gym so no one knows how much I am working out. Girls are begging for my secrets, and guys that have never paid attention to me are vying for my attention.
Why am I still so fat? Skipping days between eating – no meals, just an...
Hello! My name is Courtney and I’m so honored to get to share my transformation story with you all.
I have been obese (morbidly so, as much as that word makes me wince) all of my adult life. It all started in 2003 when I found myself gaining weight rapidly despite making no changes to my diet and exercise routine ( I was a High School junior and active basketball player and cheerleader). I was quickly diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and was told to expect some “mild” weight gain....
“Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.” -Galatians 6:4
