UNIT 1
Learn how to lose weight and take a second helping of the spiritual food that really satisfies as you begin the Twelve Steps. When you take the first two Steps, you recognize that you don't have the will power to lose weight, but you know Someone who can give it to you. In Unit 1, the author shares the story of her life-long struggle with overeating and describes her 22-year recovery. She also gives a complete description of how to work the Step Forward Program. In addition, Unit 1 provides the weekly lessons which cover Steps One and Two. The Leader's Guide explains how to start your group, gives practical tips for handling any problems which may arise, Bible meditations, and the answers to each question posed in the lessons. It is designed so that anyone may start their own Twelve Step weight-loss support group/Bible study. As you work the Step Forward Program, you will learn how to plug into God's power instead of relying on your own.

As you complete Steps Four through Seven you will learn what a life-changing difference Step Forward can make. In your group, you have friends who love you unconditionally. As you inventory your weaknesses, it is easy because you have others who share them with you. You experience the real meaning of Christian community: working together to learn how to turn from weaknesses, honestly sharing mistakes, praying for each other and rejoicing together over victories. In Unit 3, you will explore ways to let go of feelings like resentments, regret and inferiority. You will take a Temperament Test to see why some weaknesses are harder for you to let go of and then take a Spiritual Gifts inventory to see what wonderful things God is putting in their place.
