Setting the Captives Free

I sort of stumbled on the link for Setting the Captives Free. I saw it on Facebook of all places. It is a website offering free Bible studies and accountability for a whole host of habitual sins: drinking, drugs, smoking, pornography, and yes, overeating. I clicked on it, intrigued, and willing to try almost anything. It is a 60 day Bible study on overeating. You get an online mentor who reads your lessons everyday and prays for you, and since it’s online, there is an element of anonymity I was into. I was getting excited, and then I saw the eating plan options. I almost “unsigned” myself immediately. I saw the words fast, liquid, and half and was ready to run in the other direction. This is a “quack” website I thought. Probably one of those cult followings. But something made me do the first lesson and at least try it.

I’ll fast forward and tell you I’m on day 45 of 60. I’ve lost over 12 lbs in that time, and am 1 lb away from losing 50 from my heaviest weight. I have never felt so set free, so satisfied, so fulfilled, and if I’m a “quack” then I wish I had been one all along! This has been the most cleansing and beautiful journey, and I’m not even through. So, specifics to come, but check it out. www.settingcaptivesfree.com.
