What Spiritual Books Have Helped You?

[DeterminedGirl 53]

Have you read any books that helped you understand, from a spiritual view, this weight burden? Someone just yesterday told me a book called, Women, Weight, and God had helped her. I'm keen to read...and journal. Does anyone have a journal you keep on the spiritual journey with the sleeve? Thanks so much. Just feeling a bit frightened of failure tonight....

I use a Journal to write my scriptures and prayers, I also include choices I have made on that day, good or bad. I ask for help, with nutrition, exercise, and just being able to face my family and friends.

I do not have any books on this subject.

A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever by Marianne Williamson.

She really dives a lot into the psychology of why we hold onto weight and puts it into a real healing perspective from a spiritual (meaning non religious) point of view.

Thank you for posting this! I've been ordering books from the library, but haven't hit on any that spoke to the godly aspect!

Made to Crave - Satisfying Your Deepest Desires With God, Not food, by Lysa TerKeurst was very good. There is also a 30 day devotional to go with the book.

[Tikvah 70]

The following books really helped me cope and deal with my weight problem prior and after surgery. They are not about weight loss, but they gave me a lot of comfort and the ability to reflect.

The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism by Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin

To Be A Jew by Rabbi Hayim Halevy Donin

Plus the Tanakh obvi.
