Hello, my name is Nicole King. I would love to share how I have lost 80 pounds through this message of total love and obedience, by transferring a love for food over to a love for God. I grew up very thin as a child and I did not start to gain weight until I entered college. It was then that all the sin that was buried deep in my heart began to manifest in massive amounts of weight on my body. I was also lonely, depressed and full of guilt, although no one would have known it, as I always appeared to be happy and care-free. Also, I was in a long term relationship with a guy, which was steeped in sexual sin. All while attending a so-called "church", since the age of fourteen. Shortly after I graduated from college I became an unwed mother, and although my daughter's father and I attended the same church, no one from that church even questioned, much less held me accountable for sinning against God in such a way. However, I did feel guilt, and my heart was so full of pain and worry over the idea of my daughter repeating my sin. After I had my daughter I reached my highest weight-212 pounds. It was then that I cried out to God-and he certainly answered me. I prayed that I could be done with the pain of being overweight, and I also begged God to show me how to be a Godly woman, and mother, because I had no real example to follow. Well, God did answer me in an amazing way. He brought me to Weigh Down and the Remnant Fellowship. Through these teachings I have laid down sexual sin, and because of that, God has given me a husband that loves obedience to God as well. I have lost my weight, and I am no longer depressed or worried about my daughter, because I know that as long I give her a true example to follow and train her up in following in the footsteps of Christ, she will not experience the pain I once did. I praise God for this teaching —I truly don't know where I would be without it!
