Inspiration from a Higher Power

So yesterday while I was driving I got this big moment of inspiration. I had a plan. And maybe I still do, it depends on the response, haha...

A few years back I did a study called The Lord's Table, through a larger group: Setting Captives Free. I'll be honest, I didn't take the course too seriously. I had a hard time grasping the concept that being overweight was connected to sin. I have a medical condition that requires me to take medication that have nasty side effects, including weight gain, substantial weight gain if used in high doses and long term. My medical condition also limits my energy and stamina and strength. Basically, I walked around with the premise that my weight problem was mostly not my fault but instead related to a medical condition that there is currently no way to prevent. Therefore, how can my weight be related to me being sinful? All those facts are still true. I still am on nasty meds. I am still dealing with function limiting fatigue. But then there is also me: messed up, jacked up, sinful me. Over eating is a sin. Gluttony is a sin. Laziness is a sin. Turning to food for comfort instead of turning to the Lord is a sin. So many people are held captive from bad eating habits. just like people are with alcohol, drugs, porn, you name it. Bad eating/over eating has just become in many ways the acceptable sin, but no more!

Anyone want to do this study with me? I warn you I am no expert!, therefore my plan is to not lead, but host and facilitate. I will open up my home and together we can work through 60 lessons to help gain control of our eating habits while learning to look to God for spiritual sustenance. Each lesson consists of biblical instruction, testimonies, and comments from other course members. The big point is to learn how to truly enjoy the Lord and "feed" on Him, rather than actual food. There are optional eating plans that go with the study. One involves appropriate portion days, half portion days, liquid days, and fasting days. Another involves listening to your body and eating only when truly hungry (such as growling belly).

I will include some links so that you can read up more on the course. Some of the links do go into the eating plans, but remember those are optional. The class can be done without it. It is personal choice there.
