I, like many other participants, have done commericial "diets" at diet
centers and had lost wieght, but gained it back every time. After my third
child I was up to 235 pounds. I was under the impression that I never lost
weight while I was nursing a child, so I never tried. I was also following
the man-made rule that you needed over 2000 calories every day to nurse a
baby. WRONG!!
Weigh Down Workshop came to our church from a lady who did it by going to
another church to attend class. She got approval to have the class at our
church. In the first group of particpants was a nursing mom and she lost
ALL of her wieght. I couldn't believe it! If she could do it, then so
could I.
I started the next session in May '97. By November, I lost 68 pounds all
while nursing. I have been stuck for a while in the dessert. I think the
Lord has a few more things to show me before I can reach the promised land
and I am stubborn at giving him the rest of my will. I believe when I
loose 100 pounds, I will be just about over this battle with food and I
sure HE will show me something else to learn after that.
