This morning during a podcast interview, I realized once again that it’s the hard times we go through that teach us the greatest lessons.
It was the years of ongoing struggle to find a solution to the addiction to high-fat, high-salt, processed food and sweets that has ignited my passion to now help others get free.
During nearly every interview, the host typically asks, “What inspired you to write Starved to Obesity?”
And it’s without hesitation I respond, “Because I never want anyone else to have to suffer the same demise. I wish I had read the book—and I wish my parents had read the book-- when I was a kid. It would’ve saved my then-and-future family many years of needless pain and suffering.
Recently, I saw this quote on Instagram:
“Your past can light the future for others.” -Lisa Bevere
Whether you are struggling to hold life together in the midst of the addiction or you’re a concerned person wanting to know how to help someone you care about, my book is for you.
Here’s to your freedom and good health!
