\u201cThen [I] cried to the Lord in [my] trouble, and he saved [me] from [my] distress. He sent out his word and healed [me]; he rescued [me] from the grave.\u201d\u3000(Psalm 107:19-20)<\/p>\n
It all started in 2020…
\nDuring quarantine, I hung out with a group of 4-5 people from my track and field team. We had grown very close from running together ever since school had shut down. On days that we weren\u2019t running\/training, we would often go to the beach, since we lived by the ocean. It was during one of these occasions that one of my friends commented on my body. \u201cWow, Ko, you really slimmed up since the last time I saw you.\u201d This single statement, although said as a simple compliment, changed my entire perception of my body.<\/p>\n
From this point on, I slowly began to obsess about my looks. Working out became the center goal of my day. The day was not finished until the workout was done. I would work myself to exhaustion, 2 sessions a day: 1-2 hours of cardio and then another 1-2 hours of weight lifting. Nevertheless, I still wasn\u2019t satisfied with the results. I began to ask my peers about how they stayed in shape and that is when I learned about how important food is in shaping your body. All this information could have been used in a beneficial way, but, since I was like a baby stepping into a new world, I let it take control of me.<\/p>\n
I tried many different diets, mainly ones revolving around intermittent fasting. Nevertheless, the goal was always: eat as little as you can. At an age where I was supposed to be eating as much as I could, I was practically starving myself. As a result, my body began breaking down. However, it was gradual, so I never noticed it. It started out with having to go to the bathroom an unusual amount of times. It got to a point where I questioned whether this was normal. Next came energy deterioration. I would be quite tired all the time, not really feeling like I wanted to do anything. Working out became a burden, it was no longer fun. The symptoms kept on showing more and more, yet, I never listened to my body. This went on for 5 years.<\/p>\n
Throughout this entire period, God tried to warn me many times of the disaster that I was bringing upon my body. He would try to speak to me through multiple people: my parents, my pastor\u2019s wife (Masami-san), and many others. Even in the sermons, I would hear \u201cdon\u2019t diet\u201d, but I had completely shut my ears to this. I would think \u201cyou don\u2019t understand, I have to do this in order to stay fit.\u201d Meanwhile, I would look at others my age and see them enjoying food normally, while remaining thin and fit. I would think \u201cman, I wish I was like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
By the 5th year, I had completely convinced my body to not be hungry. Although there were periods where I started eating more, I would think I was overdoing it and immediately fall back into not eating. My body had also developed more symptoms: being extremely cold in normal temperatures, mouth\/gum sores, dry (very dry, to the point it started tearing) skin, etc.<\/p>\n
And then, in the beginning of late November 2024, it hit me. I experienced severe nausea after eating. It occurred once, then went away, so I thought it was only a minor stomach problem.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, it went on for weeks. It got so bad that I couldn\u2019t even sleep, any position would trigger nausea. I couldn\u2019t even eat normal foods anymore. I decided to go to the doctor. However, with them not knowing anything about the situation, the only thing they could do was prescribe me with medicine. I don\u2019t remember exactly how I realized it, but, all the warnings suddenly came back to my mind, and I finally began to consider \u201cwhat if this is because I\u2019m not eating enough?\u201d I decided to take a step. I began eating more… and I began to get better. I thought I was healed but many of the symptoms still persisted. The nausea would also occasionally come back. This went on for about a month or two.<\/p>\n
One Sunday, the day I was supposed to go to church, I was feeling nauseous again. I felt pretty queasy so I chose to take the day off. That evening, I received a phone call from Masami-san (the Pastor\u2019s wife).<\/p>\n
She first inquired about how I was feeling and then asked why I was not able to come today. I explained everything. Already understanding what was going on, she first explained what was really going on in my body. The 5 years of unhealthy dieting had broken my body so bad that my digestive system was now no longer able to function properly. After explaining the dire scenario, she offered her help. What I was required to do was to send pictures of every meal I ate to her and her daughter (Jun). And so, that is what I began doing.<\/p>\n
Every day, I would send over what I ate and they (Masami and Jun) would give me feedback on what to change. I learned so much: what foods to eat and when to eat them. I learned that I should eat heavy foods either in the morning or afternoons and lighter foods later on in the day. By 7:00pm, I was to have all my meals finished, because eating late is not helpful for the body. They would give me thorough explanations on why each food was good for that situation and what benefits it had on specific parts of the body. At the same time though, they would allow me to learn for myself which foods were right for me, specifically. They also helped fix my sleep schedule, which was essential to fixing the nausea. Before, I was sleeping between 12:00-1:00am. Now, I\u2019m sleeping between 10:00-10:30pm.<\/p>\n
From the first day I started following their regime, my body instantly started improving. The nausea began to go away, my digestive system started functioning properly (I would go to the bathroom 1-2 times\/day instead of 4-5).<\/p>\n
Physical healing was not the only thing they helped with. The conversations that I would have with them, especially Jun (Masami-san, after the first couple weeks, allowed Jun to take over as she was also very busy with taking care of other church matters. Although she still looked over what I ate, it was more Jun that would comment on my meals and give me feedback) brought me so much joy. It took all my loneliness away. I\u2019ve gotten to learn so much about them. We would talk about everything. I would send them funny videos on social media or movies\/shows that I was interested in watching or songs that I liked. Jun would reply to everything. I always looked forward to what she would say to everything that I sent. Now, let me specify, these weren\u2019t exactly always church friendly (we\u2019re talking about songs by rappers\/hip hop artists, horror movies, videos that included… well … language), definitely not the stuff you would\u3000normally send to the Pastor\u2019s family, nevertheless, they never once judged or rebuked me. I would sometimes spam the group chat with these texts, but they would always make time to answer back.<\/p>\n
This allowed me to open up about myself more. I began to have deeper conversations with them about things that I had never really felt comfortable to tell anyone about, stuff that I kept hidden deep down inside. In the beginning, I was a bit scared to tell them. But, a part of me felt comfort in them knowing about these things. Deep down, I knew that they wouldn\u2019t judge me even if I showed them this unseen side of myself. After telling them, they revealed truths to me that I would have never known on my own. I can see now how God was leading me through all this. He knew that I wanted to be set free from these bondages and he helped me take the step that I needed to take into freedom.<\/p>\n
This process is still ongoing to this day. My health is only improving (physical and spiritual). Quick side note as well: I am in better shape, physically, than I ever was while dieting. This has shown me how much God cares about every aspect of my life. I didn\u2019t even have to try to do anything (eat healthy or workout extra hard), he simply took care of everything. Things that I did not think he considered important, he still cares about. Everything that I consider important, he cares about. Slowly, but, surely, he is helping me to get rid of the wrong mentalities that I had ingrained in my mind, including this diet one. I am so thankful to God for all that he has done for me. He has answered me in a way I could have never imagined. He has even answered desires in my heart that I never even knew I had. He has turned my mistake into a blessing. As a result, I have grown closer to him. I have come to understand his goodness all the more. I have learned that he \u201cis not just the God in the Bible, but the God who cares deeply about every small detail in [my] life.\u201d (J. Asai, personal communication, May 11th, 2025 )<\/p>\n
