Summary:
Fasting is a lot more than giving up food. It is a time set aside to pray and hear God"s voice. It"s a time to seek freedom -- from more than fat.

I dont know about you, but Ive had my struggles with weight.

We love to eat out, and with it comes many temptations: those family-style proportions we werent expecting, the tantalizing buffets, the humongous desserts just TOO tasty to pass.

When I cook, it seems theres too many leftovers, leftovers I hate to waste.

That is hard enough.

It got even harder after the babies. I gained weight during the pregnancy - then either it was hard to take off, or take off and keep off.

When I was breastfeeding, there was the temptation to exceed those few extra calories I was allowed every day. So I lost, then gained some extra. It was the biggest Id been in my life.

Then one day I made a decision. The extra food simply wasnt worth the price of being overweight. I made a decision to exercise regularly and I underwent a 40-day juice fast. (In my case, I used a regular blender to pulverize fruits and vegetables.)

Now if I was dieting, it would be real easy to cheat. But fasting was different because it was for the Lord -- and he knows even if I think about cheating.

I prayed for the strength to do it, if he willed it. He must have. I stuck to it and dropped the unwanted pounds.

I learned fasting was that missing ingredient I needed to control my weight.
