Breaking_Free
My story is similar to many. I have struggled with my weight since 4th grade. I have been on countless diets/weight loss programs only to gain it all back plus some. I came to a point of not caring. I didn't care so much that I reached 382#. I knew there wasn't a quick fix answer. I was addicted to food. God has been walking me through one baby step at a time what the root cause of what needing that kind of comfort is. It was hard to not have food to turn to for comfort after surgery. At first, I turned to excessive spending and then compulsive cleaning (that wasn't all bad!) I have been walking out my new lifestyle change and feel like I am still in the process of "breaking free". I could snack and make wrong food choices and gain it all back. I am beyond the point of not caring- I care a great deal and don't want to give up my new found lifestyle. I love being under 200# again!! I LOVE it. I think I am still in the process...but a process that I am more than happy to be going through. I guess, it boils down to I will only have as much "freedom" as I allow God to work in my life.
