You Are Invited

Hi friends.  I am starting this Made to Crave online bible studies and I would like to invite you to join me too.  I have been struggling with food since I was about 12 years old.  I know that I am made to crave things.  I used to crave food, sugary foods, salty foods, all kinds of foods.  I yo-yoed up and down the scales on a regular basis.  Finally I got tired of all the dieting and decided to give up.  Then I just ate what I wanted when I wanted to.  That didn't work either.  The diets were bad because I would loose the weight but then gain all of it back and then some more.  I have tried weight watchers, diet shakes, shots, hypnotism and almost any diet program that you can name.  The only thing that ever worked was Overeaters Anonymous.  I lost the weight and kept it off for 5 years right after I had my second child.  They have you focus on changing your life with your Higher Power.  They tell you to give it to God so when I did that I was able to get my weight off and kept it off.  But I quit working it and finally I relapsed and went back into the unhealthy eating.  Only this time I did that for 12 years or more.  The thing that worked for me was the focus was off the food and on God.  A year ago I went back to O.A. and have lost 60 pounds and kept it off.  But the problem was I had gained 120 pounds since I left the first time.  Today I want to combine what I am doing with O.A. and also use the Made to Crave Bible Study to help supplement my program of recovery.  Because my problem is not just the food.  I have to work on my emotional, physical, and spiritual recovery.  They all fit together.  Made to Crave will be the perfect fit to my healthy lifestyle change that I had already been making.  It should give me that extra spiritual boost.  If my spiritual life is good it seems that my physical and emotional lives are better too.  But if I let one of them get out of whack they all will suffer for it.  My name is Lee and I am a compulsive overeater.  But now I take each day at a time and work on my recovery in all three areas.  I hope you will join me in this process of a life change in whatever area of your life that needs to change.  Thanks for letting me share.
