    I’ve always struggled with the love of food. Been overweight most of my life and have tried everything. I saw this and began praying. Never occurred to me to ask God for help. I saw ads of anorexic people on the side. Then something came to me and said “I eat too much and that I eat every time, not just when I’m hungry.” And that opened my eyes because I realized that it’s true. So I set my goal for the next week to only eat when I need to, not because I feel like it or because there is food available. Thank God and wish me lots of luck! I believe that this is the start of something new. Thanks for the video!

    Girl thank u for your awesome video. I am a woman of God and let me tell u my quick story. I was abused as a little girl and growing up I always struggled with self image. The devil had me believed thar God didn't love em but I knew love was there. And u was constantly bullied. Idk if I always struggled with food addiction but I was never overweight till now. I was an athlete in high school. I started walking when I was 12 and I would spend time with God in these walks. I walked every day for years well by the time I was 20 I stopped. But I still tried my hardest to stay fit but after graduation I gained weight it started with just 15 to 20 lbs. Which I could have stopped it well long story short I am now 29 and married and I weigh over 200 lbs. As of right now I am letting God worj on me and help me cope and deal with my emotions instead of eating them away
    I have struggled with sugar addiction and bad junk foods. I sometimes use my period months as an excuse to eat what I want cause I'm craving it too. Well now I'm here and I have a hard time doing anything and out of breath. Please pray for me girl. Thank u

    The words sādhūnāṁ hṛṣīkeśānuvartinām are very significant. Sādhu means “a saintly person.” But who is a saintly person? A saintly person is he who follows the path of rendering service unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hṛṣīkeśa. In the Nārada-pañcarātra it is said, hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate: the process of rendering favorable service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead with one’s senses is called bhakti, or devotional service. Therefore, why should a person who is already engaged in the service of the Lord engage himself in personal sense gratification? Why should he unnecessarily engage, like the animals, in the bodily concept of life? An animal thinks that the body of another animal is his food; therefore, in the bodily concept of life, one animal attacks another. A human being, especially one who is a devotee of the Lord, should not act like this. A sādhu, a saintly devotee, is not supposed to kill animals unnecessarily. Hari Om Tat Sat Om namo Sri Sri Nityananda Gauranga Hara Hari Haribol namah. Bhagavad Gita 9,26 Sri Krsna says: ,,If one offers to Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or even water, I delightfully partake of that article offered with love by My devotee in pure consciousness''

Of course these few reasons aren’t always why God allows the devil to attack though, He could be doing allowing it for a different purpose.
