Kerrie Nygard spent 25 years dieting. Losing weight, gaining it back, losing it again. Weighing her worth by what the scale said and what her pants size was.After baby number 5, she'd done everything "right." She'd lost the weight. But she wasn't at peace. The mental chatter about food wouldn't shut up.So she went to God in prayer, ready to quit. And instead of relief, she heard: "Keep going, Kerrie."That moment changed everything.In this episode, Kerrie shares how a spiritual epiphany in front of her mirror shifted her entire relationship with her body. She stopped battling it and started treating it as a partner.
