Losing Weight Living Christian Science

I am so grateful to be a member of this church and for all the blessings and healings I have gained here.

I spent the majority of my life overweight. For a long time it bothered me, and then I became used to it, until I eventually believed I could never overcome it. I think eating was a way to punish myself because I had accepted the identities that my parents and the world put on me.

Once I came here, and began to work with a practitioner, I knew at some point my weight would be addressed, but I had so many other healings that took precedence I wasn’t in a rush for it. Interestingly, I realize now that those other healings that happened first were actually required to get to the place where I could begin to start losing weight.

It is as though losing weight became easy once my thought was sufficiently corrected due to Christian Science. Handling temptations is so much a part of what I have been learning here, that after learning to handle the temptation to blame the condition of my present self on heredity, and handle the temptation to think of myself in the way I was taught to as a child, and even handle the temptation to feel I am powerless to sabotage myself at every turn, it became simple to handle those daily temptations for soda, chips, candy, and adding extra salt to everything.

I am so grateful for Christian Science and practitioner support showing me how to get ever closer to the man that God made me to be. What a constant blessing it is to be here.
