What a pleasure to be able to tell you that you can be set free!
I am Laurie Beld and I am honored to serve as a Regional Representative for the state of Michigan. I have lost 55 lbs with this amazing Truth and kept it off for over 7 years. Don’t let where you live stop you! Remember you can join a class no matter where you live.
I was thin most of my life, but in my early 20's I began to gain weight. In my 30’s, my weight got out of control, but I had no idea what to do. Since I had watched friends diet and exercise for years to get the weight off with no success, I knew that was not the answer.
I did try several diets, one of the most memorable was “no carbohydrates”. What a huge mistake! Yes, I lost weight, but what they didn’t tell me was how dangerous it was, and how fast the weight would come back on. Because I had gestational diabetes with my second pregnancy, this diet was causing me to go into a diabetic state. My hair was falling out and I had very little energy.
Just before my 40's I noticed some family members were losing weight. I watched and waited to see if they were going to gain it back. WOW! They did not! They not only kept it off, but also had energy and looked healthy and marvelous. So I started asking questions and found out they were doing a class out of the Weigh Down Workshop.
I got into my first Weigh Down class and heard what I need to do. I needed to listen to the way God had made my body (eat when I am hungry & stop when I am full). I was going to be taught in this class how to let go of my desire for the food, and turn my focus to Him when I was hurting, feeling lonely or needing to fill up.
The weight came off!! The more I let go and did what was taught in these classes, the more my relationship changed from a relationship with food to a relationship with God! The more I learned to let God lead me throughout my day, the more the weight fell off. I went from a size 18 to a size 6. I went from someone who could barely go up and down the steps, to someone who now climbs trees, jumps for frisbees, and climbs in and out of fishing boats. This is a miracle. I have a very active family, who I could never do these things with before. My health is remarkable. Now, I no longer think about becoming a diabetic or having high blood pressure or high cholesterol. According to the Dr., I am healthier than most teenagers. I no longer stand on the sidelines watching. Praise God!!! I am able to live an active life. I also desire to live again! Really live!
For 7 years the weight has been off and every year it gets better. Every year is more freeing. Every year my relationship with God is better…. a closer walk with Him, instead of anything of this world.
I am so blessed to have coordinated and hosted classes the last 6 ½ years with ladies and gentlemen from all over the US and world. To share the Truth with others that Weigh Down taught me: that they can live set free from being overweight permanently is a joy! I love being able to give back. If you are wondering what to do next, get into a Weigh Down Class. Do it God’s way and be set free! Weigh Down is the only way to be permanently set free from your prison of overweight and the prisons that diets have kept you in for years.
I am 55 lbs lighter now, and thank Weigh Down and God for the life that I have been given back. I am never going back to being overweight. When you know the Truth, it will set you free. I would love to meet you via email or phone call and encourage you anytime!! If you call the Weigh Down office, they will give you my contact information (800-844-5208) or ask to get into a Weigh Down Class. The class will change your life and you will be permanently set free.
