Made to Crave



Recommended Posts

Has anyone heard of this bible study? It's a study for women that helps us focus on God instead of other things (in our case, food).

I have been sleeved for 5 months. 3 months ago my father passed away, my grandmother's health has taken a turn for the worse and my son had to have emergency abdominal surgery last week. I've turned to food instead of God for comfort. In the past trying times have always brought me closer to God, but not this time around. I haven't turned my back on God. I'm not angry with Him. Because of trials I've gone through before, I know He has it all under control and is working things out for my good (Romans 8:28).

But I need some motivation! Does anyone want to do this study with me? I figure we can do it together online right here on Vertical Sleeve Talk. If anyone is interested, let me know. We'll all have to go buy or order the books on our own. And we can come here everyday and start a discussion on each day's topic. Let me know y'all!

I am so sorry this is happening to you. . .but only you can change how you want things to go. I heard this at one church service. When the passengers of 9/11 were heading to crash into the pentagon one passenger called his wife and stated " We are going to die today, but some of us are going to do something about it" . . . "some of us are doing to do something about it" Only you can "do something about it" Good luck and God bless

It's true. Only I can decide to make the change. Only I can choose to put the fork/snacks/caloried drinks down. I am also inviting others on the journey. You know what the bible says, "As Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." (Psalm 27:17).

Sorry I didn't realise the subject was the name - duh! blink.gif It says "as of January 1st, 2011, Made to Crave is no longer in operation" so does that mean it's no go? Not much seems to be working on there, due that I'm guessing.

I'm getting "sleeved" in a few weeks. A friend turned me onto made to crave. it's FABULOUS! you can start the 21-day program any time and you'll get an e-mail sent to your in-box. Each piece has a different angle on turning to food... today was my day 11 and it was a great one! I believe Lysa (who started the ministry) also has a book on the same topic with the same name. Made to Crave. You are right, it's madetocrave.org. :)

Did you ever start this study? I just read your thread and went to the site. I ordered the book and daily devotional to access on Kindle. Then I saw the participants guide and thought "Now this is a good study". So if you have not started and are looking for someone to go through with you. Let me know and I will order myself the participants guide. Iron definitely sharpens iron and the closer we grow to Him the better we are in our journey.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
