The more you think about what you eat, the more guilt and shame you feel. There's always uneasiness towards food and feeling like food controls most of your thought life.
Today the scale says "down 1 lb" and you have a great day, only to be miserable tomorrow when the scale goes back up by 2. What a horrible emotional rollercoaster!
Just the thought of looking at yourself naked in the mirror makes you uncomfortable and uneasy. There's no love here, in fact, it's the opposite - strong dislike.
The thing that sucks about most fad diets is that they make you eliminate food groups. No more bread, chocolate, peanut butter...and honestly, who wants to live like that!?
Counting is not a great system otherwise most women would already be at their target weight goal, right!? (we have all counted calories or carbs or something, and it isn't sustainable so it doesn't work!)
Let's face it, diets are hard to stick to. Usually, you get off to a strong start, but one "cheat" leads to another cheat and it snowballs from there. That's when you find yourself completely derailed.
Fad diets are so restrictive and let's be honest - no one can sustain that for long! Life doesn't always allow for you to only eat bird seed and rabbit food. Plus, God made so many amazing foods for us to enjoy!
Diets create a vicious cycle in your brain, where every time you "mess up," you feel terrible because you "cheated." This keeps you stuck on the dieting hamster wheel where you're always starting the "next diet."
Your identity and self-worth are based on the numbers you see on the scale because of what the media and fad diet culture have taught you...but your identity is in Christ and has NOTHING to do with the scale!
You may feel like it is IMPOSSIBLE to lose weight and keep it off because you've failed so many times before.
But it's not your fault!
There's a missing piece to the puzzle.
The fad diet culture has been telling us lies.
Think about it - we are taught to go on a diet because we DISLIKE ourselves. So we decide to PUNISH our bodies by depriving ourselves and by eliminating food groups...all in the name of trying to live up to some unreasonable picture of what culture tells us we *should* look like.
But God created you and I each uniquely...
Healthy isn't a size. And God did not create most of us to look like the models.
But God does ask us to take good care of our bodies...
That means taking good care of your body by FUELLING it well.
That means LOVING who God created YOU to be!
That means living at a healthy weight so that you can carry out the purpose that God has for you.
The truth is, it's not about the food - it's about your RELATIONSHIP with food.
And there is good news! You CAN change your relationship with food.
You CAN lose weight WITHOUT being on a diet...
And it starts by firing your diet and inviting God into the journey!

Sound Too Good To Be True?
Hang Tight. We're About To Show You Exactly How.
Here's What Is Going To Happen On The 10 Day Weigh Down Plan...
The goal is to treat our bodies like a temple because we want to take good care of ourselves...not to deprive or punish our bodies because we don't like ourselves. And that means that we eat delicious, wholesome foods!
It's about quality in = quality out. Think of a car: it requires the right FUEL to run properly and efficiently. Our bodies are much the same - they need the right FUEL and the right amount of fuel to run well, like God designed.
As followers of Christ we invite God into every other part of our life, so it is time we invite Him into our weight loss journey as well. Here's the thing, with God on our side, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Can we get an Amen!? :)
THE BOTTOM LINE IS
