    About this ebook

    Oh God, please help me! I am overweight and I am seriously out of control. I hate the way my body looks. I don’t even know why I let myself go for so long. What have I been thinking? Why am I choosing to hide behind food? What am I trying to avoid? Lord, I don’t understand why I keep running to food instead of you? It never leaves me satisfied for long, and in the end; I only end up feeling worse.

    Oh God, please help me! I want my body back. I want to take charge over my eating, my spending, my addictions and become the person you created me to be. Lord, I'm out of control. Please show me the way out!!!

    If you have ever suffered from insecurities, anxieties, overeating, bitterness, rejection, loneliness ...this book is for you. This book will help you discover why you struggle with addictions. Shari candidly shares her struggles with her weight and how she learned how to identify her strongholds (her negative beliefs and behaviors) and replace negativity with the truth found in God's Word.

    Shari Scott

    Developing Healthy Desires & Behaviors (DHDB) is a faith base ministry where we offer personalized attention and assistance for those in need of prayer, fasting, and biblical base sound wisdom and counsel. Our number one goal is to help people push pass pain. We understand that healing takes time therefore, we provide biblical principles to teach people how to come out of denial, uncover negative beliefs and behaviors that are contrary to the Word of God, and are currently manifesting through negative self-talk and unhealthy behavior.As CEO and founder of Developing Healthy Desires and Behaviors Ministry (DHDB), my desire is to identify and expose the lies, tricks and deception of the enemy, in particular to men and women who have suffered from psychological and sexual abuse. Furthermore, as a minister of the gospel, I have been mandated by the Holy Ghost to “preach the gospel, heal the brokenhearted, and set the captive free” (Luke 4:18). I currently hold degrees in Applied Behavioral Science and Biblical Studies, as well as a Master in Christian Counseling and a Doctorate in Psychology.DHDB was birthed out of my own pain and sorrows. More than anything I wanted to be free from the pain of my past, yet until I learned how to overcome past rejection, abuse, and forgiveness I continually spiraled out of control. With the help of the LORD and the ministries He provided through the body of Christ (Pastors Teachers, Mentors, and Christians Counselors), I eventually learned how to align my thinking with the Word of God. As a result, I discovered I didn’t have to hold on to the pain but could actually enjoy the freedom Christ died to give.

      First of all, I would like to thank my Heavenly Father, who gave me the will to complete this assignment. Without HIM I can do nothing. And to a few of His wonderful, faithful sons and daughters whose prayers, inspiration, rebukes, and gentle nudges encouraged me not to quit: Paula Johnson, Donna LaMothe, Betty Robins, Shirley LaMothe, my mentor and Pastor, Dr. Patrick D. Ross and his beautiful wife Earleen, Pastor/Dr. Garon Harden & Co- Pastor Betty Harden and the entire Greater Open Door Worldwide Ministries (who allowed me to have my first book signing), my spiritual father, Apostle Ron Hill – whose early 5 am prayer meetings challenged me to find out what was eating me, my Mother Glenzetta Perry and my wonderful sisters and brothers:

      The words thank you simply do not convey the gratitude I feel in my heart. Your inspiration, intercession, and belief in me have enabled me to finish this assignment. May God continue to bless you and reward you richly for all the labor of love you have shown to me!!! I love each and every one of you.

      About the Author

      Introduction

      Hello! My name is Shari. I am a Christian who loves God with my whole heart. I am also a Christian who has been more than one hundred pounds overweight for more than twenty years!

      Although it is true that I have not put all of this weight on overnight, since my marriage and subsequent divorce, I have been fighting the battle of the bulges – and have been seriously losing the war. Over the years I have grown to hate taking pictures and looking at my body in the mirror. Shopping is depressing and only done when necessary – unless it involves food (i.e. deciding when, where or what I want to eat!)

      To make matters worse, I was genetically blessed with a very curvaceous physique that includes big hips and a small waist (that is no longer so small). At one point, I topped the scales at more than two hundred and eighty pounds (did I mention that I am only 5 feet 2 inches tall?), my hips measured 54 and my waistline 45. Yet, even this did not make me stop eating. I chose to simply hide the measuring tape and throw away the scale!

      To top it off, I hadn’t been asked out on a date in over twenty years! Of course, I had attributed all of that to my weight, and not the ten-foot wall I erected around my heart, or all the negative vibes I constantly sent out if a man even tried to approach me.

      As the years went by, I started believing the lie that I had lost my power to change anything; that it was just the way it was and nothing was going to change. Eventually, I stopped trying and started to accept being overweight as my destiny. That is, I grew comfortable looking for shoes with low heels and extra width to accommodate my wide feet. And, when I would finally make myself go shopping, I headed straight for the plus-size rack where I would begin my search for clothes in the section ranging anywhere from sizes 18 to 24!

      But God, who loved me so much, was not willing to let me give up on me. He blessed me to sit under a pastor
