Summary
Today's show is straight from your questions. I often get asked, "What if I have a lot of weight to lose, what if I need to lose 20, 50, 100, or 200 pounds?"
And, here's another one, "How do I break my sugar addiction?"
If these questions are on your heart, today's show has your answer.
My guest, today on the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast is Terea Shields Parker. She is an author, coach, podcaster and speaker. She was once a self-proclaimed sugar addict, who weighed 430 pounds.
Teresa shares her physical journey of extreme weight loss and how God was leading her the whole time.
Join us as we cover:
- How she lost the weight
- Her advice to people who feel desperate to lose weight and think it's hopeless
- One thing you can start doing today
- How she broke her sugar addiction
- How she's managed to keep the weight off for over a decade
Maybe you feel like losing weight or breaking your sugar addiction is hopeless, but friend it's not. Make sure to listen to this episode and keep these scriptures in your heart:
He is with you: I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. – Psalm 32:8
It' s not impossible: Jesus replied, "What is impossible with man is possible with God." – Luke 18:27
Remember His Grace in our weaknesses is powerful, it's how we keep getting back up. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. – 2 Corinthians 12:9
You are not alone in your weight loss or your sugar addiction. With God, you can beat it!
