Pamela J. Masshardt offers hope to the embarrassed, frustrated, and discouraged overeater and food addict.  Through learned behavior passed from generation to generation, Pamela was addicted to food early in her childhood.  As she grew up, her life’s experiences reflect the challenges of the disease.  It is evident from her humble character that God held the answer to her healing.  She is a miracle of sorts.      

She was married her husband, Carl, in l979.  They have two children.  Daniel was born in l980 and Joseph in l983.  Pamela has two passions in life outside of her family; one is nurturing and teaching children.  She has been self-employed as a Christian family daycare provider for twenty years.  Her other passion is her mission to help the sick and suffering addict find Jesus in the recovery process.

In l988, Pamela surrendered to the disease of food addiction, lost seventy-five pounds and learned how to maintain a normal body weight with the help of a 12-step support group for overeaters and food addicts. 

Pamela considers herself a work in progress.  In l996 she prayed for a way to share the Gospel with her addicted friends.  Shortly thereafter, The Twelve Steps for Christians meeting began at her home church, Faith Baptist Church in Auburn, MA. 

In 2000, God asked her to write a book, Full of Faith (or full of food?), to tell more people about the gift that He gave to her—freedom from overeating through faith and hope in Jesus. 

In 2002, Pamela and her son, Joe, designed this web site.  In a matter of months, people from coast to coast were sharing their experiences on the Internet e-mail loops.

Pamela J. Masshardt proclaims the good news that comes with over sixteen years of abstinence from sugar and flour. She is happy, joyous and free.  The Twelve-Steps for Christians by RPI gave her the tools she needed to find new life.  She is enthusiastic and believes that God has called her to make a difference in the lives of people seeking recovery from the things that have separated them from God.
