Grace Over Cravings: My Personal Journey to Freedom With God
My journey didn’t begin with strength.
It began with brokenness.
For so long, I battled cravings, emotional eating, and the quiet guilt that came afterward.
I tried different diets, low-carb attempts, discipline, and motivation—
but no matter how hard I pushed, I always felt like I was losing the fight.
Every a another moment of giving in, I felt completely empty.
Pagod na pagod na ako—physically, emotionally, spiritually.
I looked at myself and whispered,
“Lord… hindi ko na kaya. I need You. I need Your help.”
It was in that honest surrender that God did something in my heart.
He didn’t tell me to try harder.
He didn’t shame me.
He didn’t demand perfection.
Instead, He gently called me to a journey with Him.
Not another strict plan…
but a walk toward freedom.
Not more willpower…
but more hunger for His Word.
Not just healing of my body…
but healing of my heart and spirit.
That became my Day 1.
I opened my Bible—not because I was strong, but because I was desperate.
I prayed,
“Lord, fill me with Your presence. Strengthen me. Heal the parts of me that food has been trying to comfort.”
And the more I read His Word, the more I felt a different kind of fullness—
a fullness that food could never give.
My cravings started becoming reminders to seek God.
My hunger became a signal to pray.
My low-carb journey became worship, not pressure.
My weakness became the place where God’s strength showed up.
Every day, God is renewing me.
Every choice, every small victory, every moment of surrender—
these are all part of my story of freedom.
I’m not yet at the finish line,
but I’m walking with God - hungrier for Him than my old cravings,
and more committed to the healing He is doing in me, mind, body, and spirit.
This is my story.
A story of grace.
A story of freedom.
A story of a woman who finally realized…
I don’t have to fight this battle alone. God is leading me.
And His Word is now my daily bread.
