Hi, my name is Nancy Malinchok and this the story of my journey with Weigh Down. I struggled with weight from an early age. I knew I was different from my sisters because my mom had to drag them to the table and she had to drag me away from it. I knew instinctiviely that I was different, I just didn't know why. Then in 2004 I re-read the Weigh Down Diet book and in it Gwen shared that she began to realize that she had a heart that was greedy for food. When I read that I stopped, closed the book and thought about that. It was then that I realized that this was my problem too. What a relief to finally have a clue! A heart greedy for food or anything, I learned is called SIN. I needed to repent to God and cry out to Him for deliverance. He is faithful and merciful. When I cried out for His help He walked with me all the way on this amazing jouney.
I've not shared this part of my past until recently but I was bulimic from the age of 14 until I was about 35 years old. Over the years I struggled with this issue a lot. I hated what I was doing but I did not know how to stop. I want you all to know that there is HOPE! By God's mercy I haven't struggled with bulimia in years. He has set me free! Weigh Down also provides HOPE for those with other eating disorders! I've lost about 65 pounds by applying the truths that I learned through the Change Series and Weigh Down advanced classes. The weight came off easily, fast and without exercise. Now when I exercise it's because I want to and not because I think I have to in order to lose weight. What freedom. Weigh Down is mere Christianity, through this program I've learned to trust God. I'm not special, if I can do this you can too! You CAN choose change! I did and I haven't looked back. Life today is beautiful, peaceful and wonderful. I have a growing and alive relationship with God the Father through His son Jesus Christ and He fills my heart better than any binge ever could.
With Love and Gratitude to THE Father!
