169. 4 Things Your Spouse Doesn’t Understand About Your Food & Body Struggle
Wednesday Nov 23, 2022
Wednesday Nov 23, 2022
Your spouse doesn’t get it. He thinks you can lose baby weight on your own because you’ve done it in the past. And you’re embarrassed to admit the extent of your struggle with weight loss, your relationship with food, or your body image.
He. Doesn’t. Understand.
And he can’t!!….not unless you spell it out clearly for him, girl!
In this episode I’ll walk you through an exercise to help him truly understand what’s going on.
Once you do this exercise and have that tough conversation with Hubby, you have three options to move forward:
Your options:
1. Do nothing and stay where you are
2. Use this conversation as momentum and keep working through this on your own
3. Get support in a program developed specifically with you in mind--The Baby Weight Loss Blueprint

You know that embarrassment you feel for sneaking bites of ice cream behind the freezer door when no one is watching?
That lingering question of whether you’re actually obsessed with food?
That frustration with yourself that you can’t stop thinking about food all day?
That feeling of want-to-lose-weight-but-want-to-love-my-body-and-so-completely-alone?
First, let me send you a hug!
Second, you are so loved!
And third, here’s your 3-step plan from the book of James, chapter 4, to invite God into the mix!
As a Christian, you know you can’t do this without Him, girl, but it’s confusing and weird to pray about these heavy feelings and habits, right?! And all the “Christian Weight Loss” books out there are so diet-focused that they’re barely any help.
So follow this plan for to literally place your body and food story into God’s hands and trust Him through the process.
PLUS
this is your invitation to join me on an Advent journey together!
I'm not sure if it's for you, but Blessed Is She, has a beautifully curated Advent devotional--Peace Has a Name. Would you be open to joining me on this Advent journey?!?
I'll host a group Messenger chat for anyone who joins--think of it as your Advent small group!
