Hope and Freedom from the food strongholds of compulsive overeating, bulimia, and anorexia. It isn't about the food. It is all about getting to the "heart" of what is eating you. Getting to the what the food is really feeding or starving. There is hope and freedom for you...as I am a living miracle who has been set free from a 14 year battle of bulimia and a life consumed with diets and a poor body image.

Welcome to a Life of Freedom: A Diet of the Heart
Here I sit seven years after writing "Weightless...". What a journey I have been on. I have been free from the food stronghold of bulimia and compulsive overeating...numbing my emotions with food....for over 20 years...a place where I never could image that I would be. In the midst of those years (over 20 of diets, and 14 of bulimia), I thought that was the way it was going to be for the rest of my life...which really would have been the death of me. I was not only slowly killing my physical body, but I was killing my spirit. It truly is a miracle that I am alive today to share my story, my story of pain, and how I believed that food and the perfect pant size or number on the scale was the key to happiness. I was living a lie.
Today, I have found the key...the key to joy, freedom, inner peace, comfort...or should I say that the key found me. The day I screamed out to the Lord to make Himself real to me was the day He entered my heart and began to piece me back together..."peace by peace".
To you....who just happened to click on this blog....I pray for you, and want to tell you that you will be free of whatever food stronghold you may have...whether it is anorexia, bulimia, or compulsive overeating. Believe me that it is not who you are, even though it may be consuming your every minute. I walked that walk, and weary I became. Boy do I wish that road was shorter. The best part of my battle was that it lead me to my Lord, and I pray that you too will meet the key, to unlock the door of the bondage that you are in.
I will be going through my workbook, day by day, on this blog. I will be just writing what the Lord reveals to me as I go through this book with you. This book is the Lords. He is the one who wrote it and He is the one who I pray will use me to encourage you on your walk.
So lets begin....

ReplyDeleteJoni, I agree with you, if I feed on the "Bread of Life" and eat the "Word" I will be full. I will be so full that I will be able to share the overflow of joy and hope with others. I don't seem to have the normal fears, but fear the feeling of really feeling, this is when I am most vulnerable and not in control. These are the times I have to "Stop, Drop & Pray" and keep my eyes on the cross to remember who I am to my heavenly Father. He actually gave the gift of His son Jesus for my life. I am that precious in His sight. Looking forward to Monday's study. Love, Mari.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mari,
ReplyDeleteSo beautifully put. You are so right...we are to feed on the true food FIRST, which will fill all our heart hungers so that there will be no room left for the unwanted food that our bodies do not need.
Just went back and re-read all of this because I needed another dosage!
ReplyDeleteTherefore,
"they are before the throne of God
and serve Him day and night in His temple;
and He who sits on the throne
will shelter them with His presence.
‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’
nor any scorching heat.
For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their Shepherd;
‘He will lead them to springs of living water.’
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’ "
Revelation 7:15-17
