🕰️ Reflecting on my journey, I realize how much life has shaped me, and God's grace has transformed me. It all started at the tender age of 10 when I attempted my first diet — one meal a day. In a world where thinness was idolized, I, a normal-sized 10-year-old, began a tumultuous relationship with food.
🏡 Raised in a home where my father's superiority complex cast a long shadow, I sought validation through weight loss. High school saw me embracing unhealthy habits, like surviving on a diet cola, candy for lunch, and a small dinner. Attention from boys didn't silence my inner critic; instead, it fueled my self-esteem issues.
🙏 Then came a turning point. Embracing my faith, introduced me to years of diet bible studies, but my weight remained a rollercoaster. It wasn't until 2017, at 48, that I stumbled upon an eating coach who shattered my belief in diets. God, in His wisdom, was leading me to understand that my transformation required a renewed mind.
💭 Learning from my coach, I realized the power of thoughts in shaping feelings, which, in turn, dictated my relationship with food. Diets, I discovered, weren't the answer. They perpetuated the cycle of feeling broken and incapable. God's word taught me to take every thought captive, making them obedient to Christ. This revelation liberated me from the shame dieting had imposed on me.
🛠️ Armed with tools and a transformed mindset, I embarked on a journey to reconnect with my body, releasing years of harmful thoughts. My focus shifted from dieting to embracing God's unforced rhythms of grace, allowing me to rediscover the joy of being in a loving relationship with God, my body, and food.
🌈 Now approaching 55, I've found purpose in helping other Christian women break free from toxic dieting. By aligning with God's word, we work towards a more present and joy-filled existence, fostering a natural connection between body, mind, and spirit.
🌺 Join me on this journey of rediscovery, where God's love and grace lead the way to transformation and a life lived to its fullest potential. 💖 #TransformedByGod #RenewedMind #JoyfulLiving
