The Story of Julie
I have struggled with my weight since I was the age of fourteen. My weight has always
been an issue and a struggle for me. I have tried to lose weight on my own and have tried
almost every diet plan out there with little or no results. I was frustrated and had no
hope to ever lose the weight.
In the fall of 2011, I went to the Lord and told Him I was tired of being big and I needed
His help! I asked God to “give me the will to take on this challenge.” I hated exercise
so this was a challenge that I had to fight both mentally and physically.
Through prayer, I committed to the challenge and trusted God to give me the strength. I
joined the gym and an exercise small group.
The first week I lost one pound. The second week I lost seven and a half pounds. When
I started seeing that I was losing weight, I knew I could do it. I claimed the verse
Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I made that
promise to Him. He has helped me to be strong and have the will power and strength and courage
to go on.
I currently have reached a total weight loss of 39 pounds and lost 68 inches. God is my
will and strength and I can continue on!
