Jan Voorhis’ Testimony
I was a chubby child and teenager and by age fifty-eight I was obese, discouraged, depressed, and resigned to a life of shopping for clothes in the “large women’s section.” I had counted calories, fat grams, and carbohydrates on many diets; I tried diet drugs, shots, and liquid diets; I even joined exercise classes regularly at expensive gyms. My quest to lose weight was always on my mind. Because of my obesity, I was diagnosed with elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, and had symptoms of an autoimmune disease. I was tested for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Crohn’s disease. Hormone drugs for menopause symptoms, plus cholesterol and blood pressure medications were prescribed.
My life changed dramatically on February 2, 2002 after hearing the message of the Weigh Down Diet, that my years of overweight were due to the greed for food that I had in my heart. I was filling up my heart’s spiritual need for God with food. I have lost sixty-three pounds and no longer take medications. I eat regular foods and have the joy of living a happy, energetic, stress-free life. What more could a woman want in the “golden years” of life?
