AMAZING SHOCK! WOW!

Posted on by

IMG_3869I wouldn’t eat Christmas candy until the family gathering on December 21. Then I ate one piece of white candy, one piece chocolate,  one cookie, and one cookie candy. According to the plan the Lord gave me I can have desert, but only half. Since in my past I would binge on candy by the handfuls, I concluded that one piece of each kind is a half serving.

My usual weigh-in day is Sunday, but Saturday I decided to just take my punishment and get over it.       I expected to gain 2 pounds or more. Taking a deep breath, I stood on the scales.

What? It can’t be. No, this is not right. Try it again. Get back on the scales and look. No, it can’t be true! Back on the scales again. Wow!

I lost another pound. What? Even though I ate candy for desert after every meal this week, I lost weight. How can this be? I made my goal. . .to weigh what it used to say on my driver’s license before I got convicted for lying and changed it. I have now lost 71 pounds. Amazing. Thank you Lord for helping me.

These shirts are from my heavier days. They’re too big for me now, but I still love them.

  1. Thank you Becky. To all of you, I want to say something. After posting this, I awoke in the night realizing that I am not eating the candy like I did on the 21st. As a matter of fact, I have given a lot away to whoever.

    The candy, chocolate included, is just beginning to lose it’s appeal. I am beginning to crave water. I’ve been focusing on trying to get in my eight glasses. Now that is really hard. But the water tastes better than the candy. It is cleaner tasting. Green beans with potatoes and rotisserie chicken. Now there is some good eating.

    It seems that God is changing the desires of my heart so that I desire what is good for me. I feel as though I have been set free. I am healed from the desire to overeat. I am so thankful to God for hearing my desperate cry when I weighed 241. He knew exactly what I could handle. He has set me free, delivered me from compulsive overeating , and is in the process of healing my body. Thank you Lord Jesus.

    Love to you all and Happy New Year
