5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for re-focusing on moderation instead of self-absorbtion, August 7, 2010

This review is from: A Woman of Moderation: Breaking the Chains of Poor Eating Habits (Dee Brestin's Series) (Paperback)

I have gone through this Bible study twice by myself and once with a group of women at church. It is excellent in re-framing a woman's perspective on weight loss and the true motivation that one should have to lose weight. Brestin helps a woman focus on God and a desire to repent from sinful behavior and to find satisfaction in God and not in self-indulgence. The ability to lose weight permanently comes from changing behavior, becoming moderate, and asking the Lord to help. She teaches that if we learn to eat the Word of God and drink in God's faithfulness and love, our cravings for things that do not satisfy will be reduced. It was so helpful to me to remember that only God can satisfy! I lost 30 pounds through this study and, if I remind myself of the truths in this book and look to God for help, I can continue to maintain the loss and be healthier.

I ordered this book to learn how to eat in moderation. This has been very helpful, and the scripture very appropriate. She has you reading the Bible several times a day, a very good thing for me. I highly recommend it.
