I have tried almost everything that the world has to offer to try to fill the big empty hole in my heart: daily binge drinking, binge eating, throwing up, starving myself, relationships that were anything but pure, watching TV, moving out of state, endless Bible studies, exercise, and constant book reading. Nothing helped. I was getting bigger -size 20W ; had a counter full of prescription meds that were supposed to make me feel better, but didn't help. And I had my doctor's phone numbers memorized, saw them as often as I could, but got worse. I even went so far as to have 18 ECT treatments. Yes, that's electric shock. That only made me a zombie and I lost most of the memory of my children's younger years. I thought that was what life was all about. That was then.

Now, because of what is have been taught in the Weigh Down classes, I am able to pull clothes out of the closet and not worry that they don't fit since being washed. I can read and understand the bible, and I can enjoy food and alcohol in moderation. And I no longer punish my body with exercise that is not called for. I attend Remnant Fellowship church, the only church I have ever seen where everyone wants to get together as much as possible, because we love each other. We are all encouraging one another to go further in our walk in laying down our own wishes for living for God. We love Jesus and understand His life was a beautiful example of how we are to live - only for the Father. We get on our faces before our King, the Father, and live for Him alone. This has brought fulfilling, meaningful life!!!
