Welcome to Fit For Freedom ONLINE.
I’m pleased you’re here to take part in this expanded online Fit For Freedom community. I invite you to take time to explore and use all seven pages. This resource provides a variety of tools you can use with my book, Fit for Freedom. I personally battled many wars with my weight over the years. In my teen years I had anorexia and bulimia, in my twenties and thirties I was overweight. At 37 I decided to turn it around and get healthy, I even became a figure and fitness competitor. To the casual observer I was healthy, but inside I was spiritually bound, longing for freedom.
Without a true healing of the heart and emotions, we only partially deal with our eating and weight issues. We don’t get to the root of the problem – sin. Until we encounter the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, we will not be empowered to overcome our addictions.
In Fit for Freedom I share my life story with you, completely transparent. I was destined for a life of defeat and food addiction, but God showed me that I am loved, accepted and worthy. I can choose to be free in Him … everyday.
My hope for you is that your understanding of God’s plan for your wellness will radically change. As you listen to God’s voice and follow His leading, He will design a freedom plan for you. It is a plan that will allow you to lose weight. Become empowered to serve Him with more energy and vitality than you have every experienced in your life.
–Laurie Graves, author, Fit for Freedom
