Within a few months of my marriage, I quickly gained 30 pounds and started grabbing my husband’s clothes as mine wouldn’t fit anymore…that’s when I cried out, “Where is my Weigh Down Diet Book!
My name is Angel Dych. I am thankful to God for allowing me to live long enough to experience freedom from overeating and overweight.
Early on, I recall neighborhood friends excluding me and calling out “Fat Angel Food Cake.”
Soon after, I began a focus on my body and peers.
The self focus coupled with peer pressure lead to years of looking for control through dieting and workouts. However, dieting was frustrating throughout the years. With each diet, weight would yoyo and if I did lose weight – it never left permanently. Then the dieting went out the window when I married a great cook. Our home is filled with rich homemade foods with dinner usually waiting for me upon my arrival home from work. As for my exercise routine, it was lost in the responsibilities of married life.
Within just a few months of marriage, I was quickly gaining weight and began to reach for my husband’s jeans when mine wouldn’t fit anymore…that’s when I cried out, “Where is my Weigh Down Diet Book!” by Gwen Shamblin? I had read it before getting married and lost weight while eating regular foods and also remembered there was no “have to” exercise plan.
Through the Weighdown principles, I have lost 30 pounds permanently and have been in the teachings since 1999 whether by materials, audios, classes etc. I am grateful to God for the conviction to seek Him daily in this way. I appreciate the need He has given me to keep myself surrounded with this program that consistently points me straight up to the heavens. There is nothing but constant rejoicing in this freedom from worry over food content, exercise and weight loss.
Basically, WeighDown taught me how to transfer a love for food over to a loving, fulfilled relationship with God. Some other significant benefits of the program I noticed was more time in my week because I don’t need to workout to keep the weight off (I am more active than before but it is not a regimented exercise plan).
Also, our food bill was reduced immensely which has saved a lot of money. What other program permanently gives back time, a healthy thin body, and saves money - a total package deal! Sweet!
