A photo of me in my mid-30's
I have written about a lot of curses, but never about one that keeps you fat. That's because I never knew there was one until just recently.
Above is a picture taken of me in my mid-30's. I was a tiny, petite size 3 for many years. I was just always tiny.
I
have prayed for many years for a revelation about obesity because so many
people are trapped. I felt strongly in my spirit it was not just related to
food intake, as I myself had at times dieted and reduced my calories to
1,000, 1,200, even 500 per day for weeks at a time and watched my weight stay exactly the same, week
after week. It was then I began to feel hopeless.
Eventually I assumed
the extra weight must be age-related and I pretty much gave up thinking anything
would ever change.
But
I kept on praying for revelation because the stories I saw and heard of people
morbidly obese who had little or no hope for a better life broke my heart. I
wanted to help them, but the only way I could was if the Lord granted me
revelation. I wanted to help me, too, but I really had given up that I would ever lose the extra weight and be slim again.
Obesity has become such a problem in America, and now even in other countries. Even children are developing morbid obesity with serious health consequences. Being a stroke survivor, I am always aware of fat content in foods, etc., but actually I grew up around dieting.
The first time I saw my Mother on a diet, I was 7 years old. One of her favorite diet meals was cottage cheese and apples. Whenever I dieted, it was always one of my favorites, too.
I was always a naturally thin person throughout childhood and well into adulthood. I didn't even begin gaining weight until just before my 40's. I attributed the weight gain to my age, and the fact that I sat all day in an office at work after I turned 40. Both common causes. It wasn't until my 50's that the weight really began to bother me on a daily basis. I hated not being able to wear clothes that had a waistline, and I hated looking fat, having been thin for so long.
In my 50's, I tried harder to lose the extra weight. I exercised until I injured myself again and again. I restricted my calories to the point my online calorie counter told me my intake was dangerously low. And I kept them that low for weeks. And barely lost anything at all.
It is incredibly discouraging to try so hard again and again and not be able to even budge 10 lbs. It made me feel so hopeless. Finally, as I have gotten nearer and nearer 60 (I'm 58 now in 2018), I gave up altogether.
It just isn't worth starving myself and counting calories all day to see little or no results. I think we all have better things to do with our time than all that. Add that to the fact that I am not searching for a mate, nor will I ever be again, and I'm just not willing any more.
And all that is what makes these revelations so exciting. After the first revelation, I saw losses at a rate I've never seen, so I knew it was a true revelation. And I received numerous reports from others of the same. And then I got the second revelation after I was already writing the eBook about the first one.
I can't wait for you all to read The Fat Curse. I pray these revelations are also the clues to your weight loss and I look forward to hearing all your weight loss success stories!
I would love to hear some of your stories about how the weight came into your life here - post in the comments. Let's all share!

ReplyDeleteAs long as I can remember I have been on a diet. I have tried every diet and would lose 20 or 30 lbs and always gain it back. After I turned 40 it seemed that I just keep gaining and could not lose it. Now at 60 I cant seem to even lose the 20 lbs that I used to be able to lose. I need to lose 50 lbs and no matter how low I cut my calorie intake I can’t lose this weight that is making me so miserable. I cut my calories to less than 900 daily for two months and lost no weight. I pray and pray for Gods help to lose this weight that not only is unhealthy but makes me look so bad in clothes. I feel tired, bloated and miserable. My whole life I have been obsessed with weight. As a child I remember my thin mother frown upon my large frame as she smoked cigarettes and drank black coffee all day to stay at 113 lbs.
DeleteI pray this book is the answer I have been waiting for.
Oh Lady Dee, My heart breaks for you - this is exactly why I kept begging the Lord to give me revelation on this subject. So many people are struggling and torturing themselves to no avail. I dropped my calories to under 500 a day for weeks and saw no results, so I know what you mean. I knew there had to be a demonic root somewhere - Any time 1+1 doesn't = 2, there's a demon in the mix some place. I pray what He revealed to me is the answer for you, too! Hang in there, Sis!
DeleteMy earliest memory of my weight was when I would go clothes shopping with my mother in the chubby children’s clothing section. My sister used to tease me about it but I was never offended. It even became a running joke between us.
ReplyDeleteMy parents divorced in my early teens. Our family had moved from NY to PR and my mother decided to move back to NY so I went with her. I had to leave my old friends behind and make new friends at a new Junior high school. I felt like a fish out of water. One day, one of my friend’s little sister asked me “You must like to eat a lot, right?” At that point I was only 10 lbs heavier than my friend. I felt embarrased and I didn’t know how to respond. I sought comfort in food but then became more self-conscious about my body so I began dieting. By the time I got to high school my excess weight was gone but so was my self-esteem.
As I got older, the weight loss method that worked when I was younger, stopped working. It became more of an effort to keep the weight off so I would quit out of frustration, only to go back to dieting and exercising after the weight started piling on. I became a yo-yo dieter.
I am now on the right track and have eliminated processed foods, white flour, grains, and sugar. I don’t snack in between meals and I exercise. I feel better than I have in a long time but after initially losing 6 pounds, my weight has not budged since then. I continue to pray and stand on the Lord’s promises. I purchased and downloaded Glynda’s The Fat Curse book the minute that I saw the link. I cried as I read every single page. Now, I am speaking to those mountains, commanding them to be removed, and breaking the curses that have been spoken over me, in Jesus’ Name. I believe with all of my heart that this is a crucial step for me to take before I see my breakthrough.
I thank and praise the Lord for giving Glynda this revelation and pray that Jesus bless her for sharing it with us.
