I was not sure what I was getting into when I wanted to read this. I wanted some guidance and help with a struggle with food, diets, and weight that I have battled all my life.., and still do. I am glad this was not a plan to follow and though that was frustrating, because I found myself wanting to know what Lysa did specifically, she even states that one way is not for everyone. So, we have to find out what works and does not work for us, individually. Lysa's main focus was to share her personal struggle but to show that it was not a simple mathematical equation of calories in and calories burned but that we will grab onto things and make them our idols (yes, food is one of them). She pushes us to focus on why we eat what we eat and when we do. There are personal reflection questions at the end of each chapter to get you to delve deeper into your personal feelings and reactions to many ideas, emotions, situations, etc. to bring you to the realization if you are using food to fill the time and place the God should hold. It is not a simple, easy journey but worth the exploration.
Excellent book by Lysa TerKeurst. Worth the read, even if your struggle is not with food.
The book was wonderful! I would recommend it to anyone that struggles with their weight.Easy reading. I love all Lysas books.
