    I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through that. I’m 18 and I struggled with body image when I was your age and I still do to this day. But I’m praying for you, and for us, that God helps us move through the lies we’ve heard ❤️

    You're too young to be told that and nobody should be told that in any age! You're still growing!! All those baby fats could be gone when you grow up. It's okay dear, don't worry much about how you look you're still growing up . Just take care of yourself and have faith in God.

    I agree with this message our worth is in Christ first and foremost. God encourages us to take care of the body, but to be honest I have put my mental health first and prayed many hours, days, months and years to be set free of demonic bondage and filth witches and left me with, now feeling strong enough to do something about my physical health as well. I pray God will give us the courage to shine our lights, no matter how we think we look, our worth coming from Christ and not from what others or ourselves may think of us, in accordance with ephesians 2:10 and this whole message, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!

    Ive never had a problem with being overweight I was always normal weight until 2008. I became anorexic. At 5'8 i went down to 125. Then I got extremly healthy and the anorexia was gone because i got pregnant with my 1st and was still tiny during and after. Second child prior to and after i was my normal healthy weight 160,yet still small. It had been years since i worked out consistently, so i started back. I grew up with a military dad who still at 66 is in better shape than most people i know. So i grew up in the gym and went off and on since i was a kid. Ive had a few periods in my life where i was serious about working out. Id say the most serious i was was in 2016-2019. That was 2 years after my 2nd kiddo. I began powerlifting and weight training. I looked and felt amazing.i was heavy mostly due to muscle mass, i got up to 175. I was clean eating heavy lifting super toned. I was a Christ follower at that time but had NO concept of loving myself. Only achievement and approval. I never have actually loved myself. For amost 2 years I lifted heavy and often and ate well or clean off and on until i had a deep depressive cycle. In addition to that,the way I was lifting heavy was self learned so im almost positive i was on my way to a hernia. So woth the depressive cycle beginning and the pain stopping my progress,I completely stopped working out. Then Here it comes I ate and ate and ate junk food. Not alot of trash foods otherwise just snacks and junk. Pounds kept piling on. From 2019-2022 i got up ro 240. 240 I still shiver about it. I tried to get it off but i just couldn't find motivation to be consistent with eating well and working out. I always did one or the other or not at all then gave up. Cycle after cycle. 2023 i began to lose weight. It started with intermittent fasting and working out sometimes......mostly the eating habits. Then i got an uber job and walked around alot and fast and began losing more weight finally.i went from 227 to 210 Prior to starting an ADD medicine for the...oh yeh!the bulimia got intense right before i got prescribed ADD med(which I an diagnoised Bipolar type 2 and ADD)...doc said it would decrease the purging and help with the weightloss..and it totally did. I lost weight sooo fast bc I was hardly hungry. I wanted it to last forever! From feb,I was 210,and now in July Im down to 185to now. And though 180 was my first goal weight,and I got down to it like 2 months ago. Prior to my separation (it wasnt suprising wed already been through alot for many years)which was 2 months ago..but then i got back up to 183 due to the appetite suppressant not being able to override one of my coping mechanisms...binge eating junk food . The few pound weight gain freaks me out. Prior to him leaving i was losing fine. I wasnt binge eating at all. It just kicked back in automode . I was doing so great before he left. Daughter told me how my husband body shamed her, "better stop eating all those sweets, you dont wanna get fat like your mom do you?" He had only expressed his unattraction to me one time. It broke me. That was when i was 240. Back when he told me that,it didn't shock me because when we met I was 125lbs smaller. Obviously he was attracted to me being tiny. And/or when i was weight training and into fitness. He uplifted me complimented me was more attracted to me so it was like a motivator.... a huge accomplishment of approval. My father has always commended me when i was weight training fit or active...for many years. A super huge stronghold in my head is since i was a kid and then after marriage.... Fit..muscular...disciplined body and food patterns is......strength.. superiorty being loved liked wanted attracticve by....a man. And its superior when in comparison to another woman. Now that my husband is gone Its Work time I am just now begninning to love myself..by faith. The few pounds i gained was all for a purpose just like my entire eating disorder fitness and addiction journey. This time..... Im beginning to let God get to the root of the murdering of the body and self hatred ive had for so long. Im raw vulnerable naked and sitting before His throne letting Him begin this work. Do you know what made me pause this video and write this book of a comment? When she said When you sit down and shift the way you sit because of your rolls....i KNEW it was for me. I say that bc ive never heard anyone else express the very torment ive been dealing with for about 2 weeks. I do like 30 body checks on my stomach arms.bim a homemaker and am home alot especially now bc though im beginning to heal and obey Holy Spirit and giving him my hurt and pain..i still have to go through process. And im someone who naturally enjoys being a homebody. But even with just the kids at home with me alot and a few other people whom im close to come that come over .im constantly checking my stomach feeling the roll dlowly come vack that i got rid of finally. Yall Im typing all this because I'm naturally expressive and it helps me and i love helping others. Im in the beginning stage of ok....lets go. Gotta heal from this tormenting spirit(s). I do not think being fat or being overweight is ok. I never will. But if someone is working to lose weight to be at a healthy weight and to eat healthy..thats admirable. Long story i know. My husband also left me for a much younger tiny woman. So theres that. That was purposed too. Had he left me for someone our age or someone ugly or fat lol ..that wouldnt have added to my low self esteem and false idea of self worth and my own beauty. It had to be offensive to my flesh. It caused me to face what i wish i could be...but wasnt..younger and small like i use to be. I know any woman would be crushed that their husband has left them no matter who it was. Husband aside, i really need to heal whether hes with rhat person or not. But my worth is..offended and trampled.my worth is.feels.low. i get tormented with thoughts of I wish i were alot younger again I wish i were fresher looking and looked pretty like i use to. I wish i were tiny and small or super fit again then id feel better about myself and wouldnt compare myself to the other person and/or women in general. ⚠️If someone reads this and comments back please dont say anything about my husband or the other person. Still a trigger for sure. Thank you all for reading.I need deep healing and i know there are many others who do as well. Jesus will help us and heal u through and through.
