Ep 53. From Dieting to Freedom | The 5 Mindset Shifts That Changed Everything
from Wellbeing for Christian Women | Disordered Eating, Body Image, Jesus Not Diets · host Lauren Perry
For years, I thought healing would come through more discipline, more restriction, and finally achieving the “perfect” body. I believed freedom was always just one successful diet away. But after years of restrictive eating, body dissatisfaction, food obsession, and constantly feeling at war with myself, I eventually realised something had to change - not just my habits, but my mindset.In this episode, I’m sharing the five biggest mindset shifts that completely changed the way I approach food, health, weight, and my body. I talk honestly about the exhausting cycle of restrictive dieting, black-and-white thinking around food, the pressure many women feel to constantly shrink themselves, and why I no longer believe our bodies were meant to become our main focus in life. More importantly, I share how healing started when I stopped obsessing over becoming “less” and started becoming more grounded in my identity in Christ.If you’ve ever felt trapped in cycles of guilt around food, discouraged by dieting, consumed by body image struggles, or simply exhausted from trying to fix yourself all the time, I really think this conversation will encourage you. My prayer is that this episode helps you breathe a little deeper, think a little differently, and remember that freedom isn’t found in perfection - it’s found in Jesus.I would love to connect with you!You can send me an email anytime:[email protected] You can also find me on social media and DM me:https://instagram.com/loz.perryhttps://facebook.com/loz.perry The Bathhouse in the Blue Mountains I mention in today’s episode can be found here:https://aquaignisbathhouse.com/
