When I weighed 430 pounds and even before that, on the way up or down however you want to look at it, I had a ton of shame about my issue with food. The one thing about having a food issue is you really can’t hide it. It’s out there for all to see. You can act like it doesn’t matter but it’s just an act. It matters supremely. Denial gets you nowhere except deeper into guilt and shame, to the point that you really don’t care any more. Oh well, might as well eat cake! I would cry out like Paul says in Romans 7:24, “Oh wretched person that I am. Who will free me from this body of sin and death?” And although he answers that in the next verse saying Jesus Christ is the answer, I never could figure that out. Then, in an act of complete desperation, I surrendered sugar. I laid it on the altar. I traded sugar for my life. And God in His grace, responded by giving me more than I could ask, think or imagine. He gave me all of what grace means. He gave me the power to do what I couldn’t do one second before. It took action on my part. I had to step out in faith and say, “I don’t know if this is going to work or not, but it is my last resort and I believe you are leading me. So if you’ll help I WILL do this.” I stepped out in faith and before my foot hit the ground, I knew His grace and power were there supporting me, lifting me up, urging me on. I believe it is because He knew my mindset had finally changed. I got it and He was there the moment I did. Have you had that moment? If you haven’t I have a program to help you. If you have, help others by sharing it below n a brief way.
