ABOUT ME:
I’m a former sugar addict & emotional eater who was known to binge, hated her body, and loathed the number on the scale. Finally, in desperation, I turned that whole mess over to the Lord and He healed me in a way I never thought possible. Now I’m passionate about sharing the message that Christ really can calm our minds, heal our bodies, and transform our health if only we’ll give Him a chance.

Hope the video was helpful!

For me I just struggle with overeating, like I’ll eat a good amount and then just snack on like crackers or something and I have no self control. Please pray for me and my eating habits

Sugar is so destructive. I have battled with such a serious sugar addiction for years. I had failed at so many attempts to stop eating it. I would promise myself I would set standards for myself but I would always fall. I noticed though when I would stop eating it that my severe depression and my mood swings and my irritation and overly emotional episodes would lift in such dramatic ways that I realized sugar was causing all of these issues. I do still suffer from sad or depressing days, but it is in no way on the levels that it can be when I'm over indulging in sugar. It's also a serious migraine trigger for me. But on my own I have constantly failed to kick this incredibly overwhelming addiction. There are times where I don't even want it but my mind wants it, it's that mental addiction to it.

About a year ago I begin a program with the Lord. I cut out sugar and chocolate and caffeine for 6 months, and at the end of that 6 months I allowed myself to have things again but once again it got out of control. So I began to go month by month with the Lord setting a regimen of how many days a month I could have sugar or chocolate or caffeine and giving my word to him that I would stand by this, because when I give my word to myself I WILL FAIL, but I know how serious God is about making vows to him so I give it to him and honestly when I'm doing these month by month regimens I don't struggle like I would if I was doing it on my own. It's amazing. I would love to be able to completely overcome the addiction, because I know that even doing this month by month regiment the last year the addiction is still there, the desires for it when I am able to have it is still there, and that is what I would love to overcome.

on a side note it's interesting because when my husband, who also is seriously addicted to sugar, eats sugar he says that he literally feels a high from it, like it literally makes him physically feel a certain way. I personally do not feel like that when I eat sugar.

But sugar in itself is so destructive to our bodies and I know this, and even the chocolate, like you said, yeah it's a real problem.

Thanks for making this video and sharing your story because it is a very real thing and it is incredibly hard to overcome any type of addiction, even food.

Oh I know exactly what you’re talking about! For me, it’s not just sugar it’s carbs as well. But when I’m at my lowest is when I hit the sugar and then I cannot get enough I’ve been in 12 step programs for probably 40 years as long as I work them and I work the steps. I keep the weight off and I stay off the sugar and the carbs, but now I want to do it with Christ with a 12 step program and I’ll be damn if I’m gonna say I am a food at it or a sugar attic because our words are powerful. I want to say I’m a child of Christ that has issues with sugar and flour and I want the strength to come from Christ only and I want to learn how to do this so that I can share it with other Christians, so I’m gonna look into this. Right now I have five days of abstinence and it’s by the power of Christ but by the support of the 12 step program on the phone for food addicts anonymous. But I want to rely on Christ not food addicts anonymous what makes it work for me the support of the people that understand what I’m going through that have lived it themselves. this is for me if I’m truly sincere about helping others I’m not going to charge them to get started $40 is a lot of money for the first book and I don’t even know if it will work for me or from going to want to use it the 12 step program is free. Why is your program not free? I’m tired of people making money off this disease or whatever you wanna call it!

My doctor put me on a very strict sugar detox, it was so painful the withdrawal I had a 3 day migraine, was dizzy, weak and cranky!! They made me give up all sugar including tropical fruits, honey and maple syrup. I crumbled and couldn't keep doing it. It was too much too quick. I like your approach so much better.

I’ve been listening to your podcast I just finished season 2. I can’t begin to tell you how jaw dropping this has been for me. I’m in ReGen a recovery program that is available y through our church. It covers a multitude of possible reasons to join. My was body image and bulimia. The bulimia is a by product of my sugar addiction. Until I found your podcast I had not heard that sugar addiction is a real thing. I’m going to start taking your classes. I may purchase the book and try and read that first. I had no idea there was other people who have my sugar addiction. I was always the girl who wanted the end piece of the cake with the most frosting. Praise God I discovered you. The amount of material you have is incredible. You have put your heart and soul into helping others. Thank you! ❤️🙏❤️

i just found your videos. Thank you for making this. I have recently come to the understanding that I am truly a sugar addict. The Lord has done so much for me in my life and I dont want to be an addict any longer. This video speaks the truth about this addiction. I dont want to hide and eat sugar anymore. I know the lord will break this bondage and stronghold of sugar addiction. THank you!

I so agree with you. Once I invest the sugar it does take me away from my God.
I’m so glad I found your website.
I’ve been many recovery groups for this and still want the sugar. I’m praying finally my Jesus can do this for me so I have have the knife with Him instead

I meant to write a quick thank you for this. Then the Lord put the following words on my heart. ——

Thank you for this inspiring message. You are a very special person & Im sure your family all know it! Sugar is a drug.

Father in Heaven, we ask for your shield of protection against Satan’s attempts to have us unhealthy & overwhelmed. We know we cannot do this life thing without you & saying no to our sugar addiction feels beyond our control. But we know that nothing is beyond your control! Please carry and lift those of us who know we cannot do this on our own. Please quiet our minds throughout our busy days and exhausted nights. Lord, remind us to spend quiet time with you so that you can fill us with your Holy Spirit. Please protect us, our families, our homes, our neighborhoods & schools from the evil one who seeks to destroy our hearts & minds. Direct and to the point is how you made me God so I ask that you fill us all with your Holy Spirit so that we do not want sweets anymore. Help us to walk away & turn to you only. In Mathew 4:4, we read that Jesus said that ‘Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ Please help us to remember that daily. If we have not filled our hearts with your words and follow your commandments, then we are weak to those temptations called “addictions”. We know that sugar is a drug. It does horrible things to us physically and mentally once the “high” wears off. We cannot beat this alone. We need you now. We will continue to pray to you as you answer our prayers. We do not expect immediate results lord but we would really be overjoyed if it happened! Our hearts are full of joy and gratitude for hearing our pleas for release of this addiction. We only need you, and praise you for leading us all here with your loving hands. Father, we ask for a hedge of protection to be placed around us when it feels like our world starts closing in on us, when a family member is unhappy or needs something, Lord help us to remember to give it to you. We are your children but we tend to want to FIX everything and everybody and if we don’t….. we have guilt! We know that is not from you! Thank you for removing the blinders from our eyes to see this & take the first step. We ask these things in Jesus’s name, Amen. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ (I have a lower A1C level now. God helped me to be totally satisfied with 1 serving & fruit options for a treat. I fell down on my knees literally, on a cold winter day with no job & teens who were not handling the school at home well).

Give this all to God the Father, Son & Holy Ghost. Just talk to him like you would your Grandpa. You don’t have to have eloquent fancy speech. He knows you & made you perfectly!

AS I'm listening to this- I realize I have something very wrong in me.... I KNOW there is serious issue in me- that I have NO control of pretty much anything... and especially NOT the sweets.. but that effects everything else.. in moods, thinking, etc.. I've done the confessing, the prayer- the reading, the ... you name it- Ive done it.. and I've crashed and burned as you say on just about everything.

Your video makes incredible sense. You are an extraordinary guide for all of us who struggle with sugar. I understand you 💯 percent. God can take any addiction away. The first step is surrendering. Best wishes brothers and sisters.
