Emotional eating is sugar-coated slavery. And it’s devastating.
Today, I would like to introduce you to a dear friend and colleague of mine, Mary Lou Caskey. Mary Lou honestly confesses that her struggle with food began as a child and only escalated with each passing year.
In her own words,
Many times, the pain and stress of having a lot of loss doesn’t really hit until later. For me, it was a few years after the loss. I was again in very high stress in my life and found myself, once again obsessed with food. Food was my comfort. It was quick and always there. I found that it never satisfied, just like anything else people use to numb pain.
During all of this stress, food became even a stronger bondage. I later understood that the bondage to food was always there, and stress was the flame that fueled the bondage. The more that I turned to food under stress, the weaker I became and the less stress that I could handle.
Thankfully, God showed her a better way. With her permission, I have included her video testimony to encourage you and to give the glory to God.

Today, Mary Lou ministers to other women facing the same struggle that she once faced. You can contact her or read more of her story here.
I pray that her story will be an encouragement to you today.
