Have you ever discovered something that made life so much better and you just couldn’t wait to tell everyone all about it? Like discovering a life hack that would change everything for anyone who would implement it into their lives? Well, that’s what what happened to me. I spent my childhood and early adult life obese and on my way to a host of diseases.

At my heaviest, I believed wholeheartedly that my ultimate issue was my obesity and that everything else was a symptom of that. I was sure that changing my body was going to be the answer I had been searching for. It wasn’t. I hit all my goals and I was outwardly transformed, but inwardly, I was just as broken.

My body, the external barrier in which I live, looked different, but I took myself with me. I was still a codependent, people pleaser. I was still chasing the approval of others. I still struggled with severe body shame. My marriage was still failing. I still didn’t feel like I measured up. I was still a complete mess. The same will be true for you unless you do it differently than I did. Yes, I did it all the wrong ways but in the last few years, God has walked me through a season where I learned His way and it changed absolutely everything! Today I am not the smallest I have ever been, and I am not the heaviest. I have found my happy medium, I have found my freedom, and I will never be the same!
