About The Book
Victory Over Emotional Eating Through Gods Word
“Victory Over Emotional Eating Through God’s Words” is not simply a weight loss memoir; it’s a testimony of survival, faith, and healing. Rhonda shares the raw truth of losing 170 pounds, not just from her body but also from her spirit, as she uncovers how rejection, abandonment, shame, and trauma shaped her relationship with food.
