| 0:00.0 | Have you ever felt like your body was falling apart? Your motivation was gone and your spirit just felt |
| 0:06.1 | empty. That's exactly how Kim Castro felt. She was 58 years old. She had just been in a car |
| 0:13.1 | accident. She was stuck in body dysmorphic disorder and felt completely drained. Physically, |
| 0:18.8 | emotionally, spiritually, she was addicted to sugar. |
| 0:21.9 | She was ashamed of how she looked and she was worried that it was too late to change. |
| 0:28.3 | But then, but God, right? God stepped in. What happened next? It's one of the most powerful |

| 1:26.5 | She couldn't exercise. She tried and failed before. She felt |
| 1:30.9 | hopeless about her health, her body, and her faith. But God had a different plan. Kim told me this. |
| 1:37.8 | I was desperate, discouraged, disgusted with my appearance. I was recovering from a car accident. |
| 1:43.2 | I was worried I'd gain all the weight back, the little bit that I had lost. |
| 1:48.8 | And then I just, I wanted to lose weight fast, but I didn't know where to start. |
| 1:55.0 | Can you relate to that kind of desperation? |
