There are Christian programs such as RU and many others that deal with addictions. Let's face it we are addicts. Just because you are born again, (and that is the only way you are a Christian by the way) does not mean that you will not struggle with sin. Yes overeating is sin, but praise the Lord He is faithful to forgive and heal us. See 1 John 1:9. I will pray for us that God will give us grace to overcome in His power and for His glory.

9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Let you tell you with some of the threads out there bashing Christians it is nice to have a place where offering to pray for someone or asking for prayer is always accepted. Thank you Lord for this thread and these people here to suppot others.

Absolutely!!

What do you think about the YMCA changing their name to "The Y"? I think it's pretty sad.... it seems obvious to me they wanted to get the "Christian" out of their name. Pathetic!

I am in His hands! If it is His will, it will happen! And if it is not His will, I will trust that He has something better for me! And, thank you for the "welcome"!

Thanks. It came to me in church. If your stomach offends you, cut it off. Was God's humorous way of telling me getting the surgery was a good thing. It was my way of admitting I'm powerless over food addiction. An act of humility. I do have a blog out there in cyberspace and also on lapband thread with that same title. Haven't posted since I reached goal. Just haven't the time. But it might be of interest--especially for newbies. Lots about my journey as a Christian.

I felt so much guilt for not trusting in God to help me with my weight issues but this has been a toold that God has provided me. I'm excited to not have food controlling my life. Thank you for everyone's responces they have helped me so much.:(

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
