Well, it was January and the scales read over 200 pounds once again. I looked to the heavens and cried out to God, “Is this the only thing You cannot deliver me from? Is gluttony the ‘thorn in the flesh’ that I will have to deal with all of my life?” God, in His gracious and benevolent way, very quickly corrected me about a few things. Number one, there is nothing from which He cannot deliver me. Number two, He desired my cooperation in this process by pushing away from the table sooner, making wiser choices in my food and to exercise. Number three, food had become my idol and replaced Him.

I was raised in an alcoholic home where there was not much love. We were poor and often had pasta dishes, etc., so there would be enough food, but I was never fat. I weighed 110 pounds when I graduated from high school.
Over the years, I slowly gained weight to the point where I weighed about 135 lbs. when I was 26 years old. I decided to lose the weight by eating one meal a day before I left for work. I knew nothing about nutritional values. I drank a big glass of orange juice with my exercise in the morning, which was mostly calisthenics
During work, I ate celery and carrot sticks only. This was a bad choice on my part and I was soon down to 90 pounds..

Thirty-five pounds ago I endured life; now, I enjoy every day. I am closer to the LORD than ever, I have more energy, I live life to the fullest, I can enjoy my kids more, and the list goes on and on.
