Is binge eating a problem for you? Are you obsessed about your body size and weight? Do you waste endless hours daydreaming and planning for thinner days? Do you spend a great deal of time and money creating a food experience, overeating, and suffering in the aftermath? These were just a few of my personal struggles with the food. Others includedlying about how much I had eaten, running out at all times of the night to replace food that I had ravished, running out at all times of the night to complete a binge, hating people who were thin and seemingly able to eat whatever they wished, sinking into still another deep depression because of my inability to keep my resolve not to overeat, losing confidence in my ability to do anything because I was so powerless over the food. Today, I can say with a deep, deep gratitude, that God has broken the stronghold of compulsive overeating. Besides maintaining a weight loss of over 70 pounds, God has kept me binge free and abstinent for over 21 years. He is teaching me to delight in Him. He is showing me that as I follow hard after Him, He alone brings both satisfaction and peace. If you have ever struggled with compulsive overeating, this book is written for you. The daily readings are designed to keep you out of denial and into recovery. There are questions to help you to dig deeper and space for you to journal. (This space might also be used to record your daily food plan and commitment.) Abstinence from compulsive overeating is a God given gift. Believe that it is available to you. Reach out today and claim your victory. Your sister in Christ Jesus, Pat N.
