Hey Mama, Do you spend your day meticulously tracking what you eat, trying to stick to that diet plan, even if it leaves you feeling hungry, tired, and frustrated? Do you avoid foods you love, labeling them as "forbidden," and even skip social events just to keep your food choices in check? Maybe you exercise, not because it brings you joy, but because you feel like you have to—as if it’s the only way to control your body. And when you see someone else with the "perfect" body, that pit of guilt, sadness, or even ang...

Hey Mama,

Do you spend your day meticulously tracking what you eat, trying to stick to that diet plan, even if it leaves you feeling hungry, tired, and frustrated? Do you avoid foods you love, labeling them as "forbidden," and even skip social events just to keep your food choices in check? Maybe you exercise, not because it brings you joy, but because you feel like you have to—as if it’s the only way to control your body. And when you see someone else with the "perfect" body, that pit of guilt, sadness, or even anger forms in your stomach.

I know this story well because I’ve lived it. I was trapped in that same Dieter’s Mindset, convinced that if I just tried harder, ate less, and worked out more, I’d finally feel good about myself. But instead, all I found was more stress, more guilt, and a life that felt smaller and smaller. The more I tried to control my body, the less joy I found in my everyday life.

But here’s the good news—there’s another way. In today’s episode, we’re going to unpack these struggles and explore how you can break free from the Dieter’s Mindset. We’ll talk about six practical steps you can take to find freedom from food rules, embrace your body with kindness, and live in a way that honors the beautiful, unique creation that you are. And yes, we’re going to bring in some biblical truths to remind you that you are so much more than a number on a scale.

So, if you’re ready to ditch the diet drama and step into a healthier, happier way of living, stay with me. Let’s dive in!

XO,
Susan
