Hello,
I know this may sound trivial, but the fact of the matter is it's not. For the past 13 years of my life I have been hiding behind a layer of fat. I have a food addiction. I can't seem to stop eating, and I'm so worried it is going to affect my health and life if it continues. I don't even want to go out, or go to the effort to look nice anymore. I figure whats the point, no one is going to care or look anyway. I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, but sometimes, especially when it comes to this I seem to just give up. I have no idea why, I guess it's after being invisible for the past 13 years, I subconsciously don't want to in any way stand out. However, I'm now at the stage where I am disappointing people and no doubt disappointing God and I'm definatley disappointing myself. This was not the girl I was made to be, my bone structure can prove that. Three years ago my mum spent $800 on a diet which worked, but all unraveled in the space of one day; my birthday. I don't want to carry this burden any longer, food is not my God, God is! So I am asking you to stand with me in prayer so that I can beat this. I don't want to become more and more depressed, only able to relieve it with some kind of food.
Please pray, I can't cope with this any more.
