After going through 3 ½ years of depression and gaining an extra 30 lbs while on the journey, I found Joyce. I should say God put Joyce in my life.

I stepped on the scales a hauntingly familiar weight. The one you talk about so proudly when a bunch of women are talking about the joys and tribulations of childbirth. You speak of it proudly because you lost it (the weight) quickly after your baby was born. Well here it was again and this time I wasn’t going to have a baby. I immediately turned to prayer. I asked God to forgive me for letting myself get to this point. I asked God to help me know why I was depressed, why I felt I needed food to help me feel better and why I was putting myself around the types of people that perpetuate my depression. I felt forgiveness instantly from God an then I forgave myself.

The next day He put an article from a neighborhood magazine in my hands. It was Joyce’s witness as to how God helped her lose weight and begin working on her true calling of helping others. Well if this was here calling then who was I to keep her from it! I called and set up an appointment immediately. I’ve been working out with Joyce for 3 weeks and eating the right foods using her suggested plan. I now have my smile back and have lost inches. (1 pant size almost 2) This gave me more energy then I’ve hand in years and I am sure God put her in my life so I can serve him better.
