In episode 103, In my weight loss journey, I struggled for years, repeatedly losing and regaining weight. I found a game-changing strategy by focusing on gradual lifestyle changes instead of dieting. However, I still grappled with old habits and cycles. Then, I began business coaching with a Christian coach, which unexpectedly evolved into spiritual coaching. She posed a profound question: 'Is God enough for me?'   I thought I could confidently answer 'yes,' but as I delved deeper, I realized that I had been seeking love and comfort outside of Him for most of my life. Emotional pain led me to use food as a coping mechanism, contributing to my weight gain. It became a protective wall, but also a suffocating prison.   Through my weight loss journey and deepening relationship with God, two crucial changes occurred:   I discovered that all the love I craved was in Jesus. Instead of turning to food, I turned to God for comfort and healing.   Listen as I share the story and why it’s important to you.   🦋 Mentioned in the Show 🦋 Free 7 Day Biblical Weight Loss Affirmations Challenge:http://MalaikaBurley.com/word   🦋 All the Things 🦋  - 5 Dieting Mistakes Keeping Women from Losing Weight (Free Webinar): http://MalaikaBurley.com/FixIt - Instagram: http://instagram.com/malaikaburley - Grab my new book: http://ChristOverCookies.com - YouTube Channel: http://youtube.com/@MalaikaBurley - Contact me: OverweightedPodcast@gmail.com
