Consider journaling about how your relationship with God has helped you (or not) with your weight concerns and problems. Take the time to explore your experiences and the feelings associated with them – and be totally honest – you may feel praise, gratitude, appreciation, or something else. You may feel frustrated, alone, separated, or even angry with God for what life has dealt you as a person struggling with excess fat. Exploring your spiritual experiences and connecting them with your bodily problems and writing about them here will help you understand yourself better than ever before.
