Just sitting and reflecting on a doctor's visit in 2006 when I first began to gain this weight and couldn't figure out why I gained 50 pounds in less than a year. Tests and test and more tests..doctor comes in says Hyperinsulemia. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!?!?
Then the words...obese, hypertension, and diabetes II came into the conversation....
WAIT! I'm only 25 years old...and I don't want any of that! What can I do? How can I stop this? Why do I have this? More talk about insulin, glucose, and hormones...and then the possibility of the birth control I was taking being the driving force behind the hormonal shift...so that was the last day I took birth control needless to say.
I dropped one drug...to receive a LOAD of prescriptions, vitamins and other supplements to help me get through this. Then the words I will never forget...
"The truth is Ms White, at this point without this medication and/or surgery you will not be able to lose this weight" *Blank Stare* Ok. What should I do...Im getting ready to graduate college and this is not want I wanted to hear.
A few months of taking the medication...and vomiting every few days or in the bathroom for some another reason...I had lost NO weight and I was tired of being sick! I'd rather just be fat than this! I gave up the medicine...
Fast forward to 2008...at this point I'm living in Florida and I am at this new church and just heard a lesson called the ABC's of Healing...after that lesson all I could think was "so you mean to tell me I don't have to have this disease!?!" I know God is a healer but shoot, never thought about Him healing me...what do I have to lose. I gave Hyperinsulemia up that night...and haven't heard from it since...
Then there was the issue with Bulimia, my undercover secret...that haunted me up till honestly 2012. I didnt see myself losing weight without my magic pills; but here I am 20.2 lbs down...no laxatives, no medication, no surgery. Just hard work and help from God.
What happened to that diagnosis? The fact was that I had those issues...I am a believer in the craft of medicine...God gave man that knowledge and its much appreciated. Yet we have to deal with the truth...that the word says "by His stripes we ARE healed", its all about accepting and walking in the truth. At anytime, doubt can come in and the facts will come back...what will you choose today? I choose the truth!
Till Next Time,
Grateful for the TRUTH
