When you no longer have an internal void you no longer try to fill it with food

My Mom always told me about being overweight “it’s not what you’re eating, it’s what’s eating you”. Most people don’t take the time to dig deeper into what they’re stuffing down with food. Love this talk.

God been asking me to go on a 40 days fast for the last few months. I don’t know why but He has and I have been disobedient for months. However, I stopped being disobedient and am listening. Currently on day 5 water/vitamin only fast for 40 total days. In 5 days my inflammtion in my body has gone down so and I even have a lot of energy while still working out, working my job 8 hours a day and waking up early at 3 am for prayer and bible study. The best thing of all is my relationship with God has become stronger than it’s ever been. I’m being delivered from generational curses in real time! Praise the Lord !!!!!!!!

I water fasted for 40 days this year and uncovered and healed lots of hidden stuff. I also went from 202 pounds to 154 pounds in 40 days.

Similar story! latch key/broken home kid, ate my feelings of stress and abandonment, abusive mother, poverty, murder in the family.....started at 256lbs, down 100 lbs, sober 2 years, quit smoking 2 years ago as well. Jesus has helped me so much to deliver me from these generational curses!!!

This is so true. When I am in shape, everything is aligned and my money is right. When I am not, it is the opposite

It’s a spiritual process because you realize how shallow and fixated on looks other people are because suddenly everyone is 10x nicer to you. It’s NUTS.

Thanks for having me on Josh. Loved the conversation and can't wait to redo this in person in Austin.

I was struggling with hormonal imbalance, started praying about it as I was feeling hopeless. I heard something tell me some go with prayer and fasting… the word echoed in my heart day and night. I started intermittent fasting and reduced my carbs while at it. I lost so much kilos. I became lean and more confident, my hormonal imbalance cleared. I’m more emotionally stable and alert. It all started with a prayer. And I’ve never looked back. I spend more time in devotion and fasting 15hrs everyday. My life has changed❤

For me, I realized that food was the expression for love. My father used to bring me snacks to make me happy. Whenever something good happens we will celebrate by ordering food. Whenever I feel sad my family bring me some snacks to make me feel better. I know their intentions was good they didn’t know that this developed my emotional eating but I have to break the cycle so my future kids won’t feel like food is the only comfort and happiness for them

Our bodies are our temples. Are bodies are not of our own. Taking care of our bodies/temples is the highest form of worship to the Lord.

@andreaza4986 10 months ago

I've always said the weight is never about the food. It is definitely about what you are protecting yourself from or who you are protecting yourself from, eating out of boredom, anxiety, the chemical fix, and someone recently told me food was her only friend. Please keep talking about this! 🎉

The Bible does say “death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Proverbs 18:21
It’s so true!!

I’m really proud of these men for opening up about their feelings—especially in the context of weight loss. It’s so important to show that getting in shape isn’t just physical, it’s deeply emotional too. This kind of vulnerability is powerful and sets an example for others.

The elephant in the room: Our "FOOD" is processed and hyperpalatable.....therefore it is not food but DRUGS.....therefore we have all these problems.
Imagine we would live in a world with only fresh fruits and steamed vegetables (no condiments) available.
NOBODY would binge at night or get fat....because the food is just not that good that you can not stop eating.
