Lose Weight, Live Free | Eating Healthy, Exercise, Faith

What if your struggle with food and your weight has less to do with self-control—and more to do with the way you’ve been trying to use it?

Maybe you’ve been telling yourself, “I just need more discipline.” “I need more self-control.” “If I were really committed to taking care of my body, I wouldn’t struggle with this.”

What if the very rules you’re following to lose weight are actually the things keeping you stuck?

Think about some of the rules you may have made for yourself:

“I don’t eat after 7.”

“I can’t have carbs.”

“I have to be good Monday through Friday.”

Ever miss a workout and instantly think, “Well, I blew it”?

Maybe you planned to work out Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Monday went great, but Wednesday got hectic and you skipped it.

Instead of saying, “No big deal, I’ll work out tomorrow,” your mind starts making excuses: “I already missed Wednesday,” “I’m off track,” or “I’ll just start again Monday.”

Have you ever told yourself, "This time is going to be different"? 

You start Monday motivated. You clean out the pantry, make a meal plan, promise yourself you're going to workout every day - and for a little while, things feel good.

Until life happens.

You miss a workout. You eat something you didn't plan to eat. You have a stressful day. You step on the scale and you don't like what you see.

And suddenly, you find yourself ...

What if the woman you've been striving so hard to become...is the woman God already says you are?

Think about that for a second.

So many women live with the belief, "I'll be more confident when I lose the weight." Or, "I'll finally start serving once I feel comfortable in my body." Maybe you've even told yourself, "When I reach my goal weight, then I'll beli...

Hey friend! Can you believe we're already talking about September? Seriously...where did the summer go?

It feels like every year it sneaks up on us. Summer vacations come to an end, the kids head back to school, routines start falling back into place, and suddenly there's that little voice in your head saying, "Okay...September 1st. That's when I'll get serious. That's when I'll fin...

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything you're supposed to do to lose weight—eating less, walking more, squeezing in cardio whenever you can—yet the scale barely budges?

Or maybe it does...for a little while. But before long, the weight finds its way back.

If that's your story, I want you to know you're not alone. And today's episode is f...

Maybe you've blamed yourself for eating the cookie, skipping meal prep, or pulling into the fast-food drive-thru after a long, exhausting day. You tell yourself that if you could just be more disciplined, you'd finally stay consistent with healthy eating.

But what if that's not actually the problem?

What if you've been relying on the wrong thing all along?

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I'll finally be happy when I lose the weight"? Or maybe, "Once I hit that number on the scale, then I'll finally feel confident."

Maybe your mood rises and falls based on what the scale says each morning. Maybe you spend more time counting calories than you do talking to God. Or perhaps your thoughts about food, exercise, and your body have q...

Have you ever told yourself, "I'll just have one cookie," only to realize you've eaten three... or somehow the entire package?

And then the guilt sets in.

You wonder, "Why can't I just have more self-control? What's wrong with me?"

If you've ever had those thoughts, I want you to know something: you're not alone. And this episode is ...

Have you ever started a new workout plan feeling completely motivated, convinced, "This is it. This is the one that's finally going to stick," only to find yourself quitting a few weeks later?

Maybe you started running because everyone said it burns the most calories. Maybe you signed up for fitness classes, downloaded the latest workout app, or spent countless hours walking on the ...

Have you ever finished a meal, felt completely full... and then somehow found yourself standing in the pantry looking for something sweet?

Or maybe every morning you tell yourself, "Today's going to be different. Today I'm going to eat healthy." But by mid-afternoon, you're reaching for candy, cookies, or chocolate, wondering, "Why can't I just stop?"

If tha...

How many times have you told yourself, This time I'm going to get it right?

Another diet. Another plan. Another Monday morning restart. Another promise that this will finally be the thing that changes how you feel in your body.

And maybe it works...for a little while.

Until it doesn't.

If you're honest, your ...

Have you ever caught yourself thinking about food... all day long?

Not just when you're hungry—but wondering what you'll eat next, calculating calories, debating whether you should have that snack, or replaying everything you ate after the day is over?

If you're nodding your head right now, I want you to know something: you're not alone. I lived that w...

What if I told you that the things most women focus on for weight loss are often not the things that matter most?

Most people immediately jump to a new diet plan, cutting carbs, tracking macros, or promising themselves they’ll start a new workout routine on Monday. And while those things can certainly play a role, they’re not the foundation th...

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating less, trying the latest diets, squeezing in workouts whenever you can—yet the scale barely moves?

Maybe losing weight in your 20s felt easier, but now your body seems to be playing by a completely different set of rules.

So what do we do? We double down. We cut more calories, eliminate ...

How many times have you told yourself, "I just need more discipline"?

Maybe you've thought, "If I could just have more self-control, I'd finally stay consistent." Or perhaps you've found yourself believing, "One day I'll finally become the woman God wants me to be."

So you keep striving. You try harder. You start over again. You promise yourself that this ti...

Have you ever wondered, "Am I supposed to track macros for the rest of my life?"

Maybe tracking macros has been incredibly helpful for you. It taught you about portion sizes, helped you hit your protein goals, and maybe even played a role in helping you lose weight. But at some point, you may have started to wonder:

"What happens if I stop tracking?" "Can I ...

Have you ever felt like you've tried every diet, every meal plan, and every strategy, yet you still struggle with food, body image, or find yourself starting over every Monday?

What if the breakthrough you're looking for isn't another nutrition plan, but a deeper connection with God?

In today's episode, we're talking about how to invite God into your health ...
