For 18 years I was overweight. It was not serious in the beginning, but it became worse as the years went by. In 1992 I needed European size 56 clothes, roughly size 28 in the United States.
All those years I wanted to lose weight. Before I became acquainted with Christian Science, I occasionally took diet pills. But they had no permanent effect. Every time I finished one of these treatments, I put on weight again. When I started studying Christian Science, I learned more about God as the only power, and began to look for a spiritual solution.
Now and then I would contact a Christian Science practitioner to pray with me.
