About Don

Where art thou, my God?


This site is about the weight loss & life change of Don Sceifers. I believe God is calling me to lead others out of obesity.  Several times in my life I have lost hundreds of pounds, only to gain them back over time. The last time I did this, it was going to be the last time. I felt God’s call and I went for it. The problem is, when I lost my job, I lost sight of God’s plan. I tried to take it back and run with it. Slowly, over time, I started back in on bad habits, telling myself the dollar value menu was cheaper and we needed to save money. The thing is, I was lied to and I believed it.

What I learned from this, is that when we keep our eyes on Jesus and follow His instructions, life is easier. Not easy, He never promised that. When I lost all of my weight, it was, I think, in alignment with His will for me. You can ask my wife, I am surly when I diet. My mind focuses on the deprivation I experience because all of my “favorite” foods are bad for me. When I am drawing near to Jesus, my demeanor does not change. Only my attitude changes. It is my prayer that this time, I can keep my eyes on Him, and not falter.

If amazes me how much I know about nutrition and exercise. I should be able to keep my life in order, but we weren’t made that way. I felt drawn to become a personal trainer last time. I await His guidance to see if that is still in my future. I do know that I want to be used to help others to find a way to change their lives and get a new relationship with food that will not be a burden to them and their relationships with others.

If there is anything I can ever do to help you find a food plan or a personal trainer, I know quite a few good resources for these. Just go to finddon.com and contact me. I will do everything I can to get you in touch with the people who might be able to help. My suggestion is to connect with God as well, for He has the ultimate wisdom and knows you most intimately!

I pray all of you who have issues with food will be delivered from them! God Bless & Good Living!
