Freed From Obsessing Over My Weight: How God Delivered Me From Body Image Issues (Ep 010)

In today’s vulnerable episode, I’m delving into an area of my past that I’ve never shared before: the ins and outs of the 2.5 years that I struggled with disordered eating. If you’re in the midst of a similar battle, please know: I have done my best to strike a balance between sharing enough detail that you can see how subtly the enemy works and expose the lies I believed at the time, WHILE avoiding being specific enough to accidentally provide an unhealthy plan for weight loss. I do not discuss anything number-related, and I avoid discussing exact behaviors that I engaged in at the time (I do briefly mention allowing my relationship with food to interfere with my social life). I intentionally focus on the internal battle in my mind, rather than sharing minutiae that could potentially be triggering to some listeners. I bet we’ve all heard a conversation that gave us more details than we needed and left us feeling a tad traumatized; you can rest assured that this conversation is not one of those.My goals in this episode are to: Reveal the tactics of the enemy that led me down this path (so that you can recognize & avoid them!)Highlight the moment that God set me on my journey to freedom Explain how I learned to LIVE INTO this freedom over timeOffer hope for anyone in a similar situation (or anyone who loves someone in a similar situation), that they, too, can be rescued from this strongholdInstill confidence that no matter what your problems are in life, whether related to body image or not, God delights in you and desires your freedom. Scriptures from today’s episode: Psalm 18:6 Psalm 34:4Psalm 139Matthew 12:43-45Psalm 119:11Galatians 5:1 (I second-guessed myself and said it was verse 13 first – overthinking at its finest! We corrected it on the video, but not audio) Romans 12:2 (Another correction needed!! So sorry! I said it was verse 1)1 John 4:1-6James 4:7Thanks so much for listening!
