I have discovered that my mind is my battlefield. Learning how to control how I see food, what food means to me and how I use food gave me the power to overcome the addiction and bondage that food has had over my life for over 20 years. I lost 175lbs without surgery but have gained 60lbs back. I know that to win this battle, I must free my mind, body and spirit by understanding my relationship with food thereby releasing me to good nutrition and exercise which ultimately leads to lifestyle changes. The root word of Diet is "Die" so I don't participate because I am not ready to "Die" but to "Live" and living means eating healthy through eating right, exercising daily and feeding my spirit resulting in a balanced lifestyle. Praise the Lord!
