Hello, my name is Richard, a few years ago I was a 450 lbs man who could barley walk. I had weight loss surgery 5 years ago but had barley lost any weight due to my overeating. I ate all day and it was beyond control. I binge ate food all day, usually a diet of Wendy's and Pepsi. No matter how hard I tried to lose weight I couldn't do it. I tried dieting, exercising, everything. I also had a video game addiction, I played them about 8 hours a day and would get so angry when playing them that I would throw my controller and put holes in the wall, and abuse my wife out of anger. I broke around 25 controllers and put even more in my walls. I hate to admit this, but I was also a National Socialist and would use racial slur all the time. I was at a breaking point. In 2018 I met my local pastor Sean Ranklin and he really introduced me to the Bible. I remember the first time I talked to GOD, I said "I just can't do it, I can't take this anymore." That is when I felt the touch of GOD and he told me everything was going to be OK. Through the power of GOD and the Holy Spirit, I could focus on my goals. In just 1 1/2 years I lost over 300 lbs and learned to control my eating. I also got rid of my video game addiction. The mostly rewarding thing is shedding my racist way of thinking. I now see other races as equals. I rewarded myself by buying myself a Mustang V6. I am also now happily married to my lovely wife Brady. I hope somebody reads this and changes their life with the power of GOD. AMEN.

Thanks for sharing your testimony. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us! We are new creatures created in Him. Let us do all things for the glory of our great Savior who loved us and gave His life so that we might live in Him!
