Ep 135: Dismantling Diet Culture - Day 3 The Weighting Game Series with Leslie Schilling and Bianca Juarez Olthoff


Listen Later

Are you aware of diet culture infiltrating safe spaces like school or church? Everyone is on a journey of their own. I want to make sure that as we talk about the impact of diet culture in the church, that we do it from a place of love, kindness, grace, health, and healing.

I believe that we can have meaningful conversations around the topic of weight by:

  • Being receptive to the needs of others
  • Extending grace and not shaming or judging others
  • Considering everyone’s individual circumstances
  • Friends, as you continue to walk with God, remember that He is compassionate and gracious. Ask Him to guide you as you grow in relationship with Him and learn to separate yourself from diet culture. Food is a gift from God! 

    Tag me @biancaolthoff and @leslieschilling and let us know how this conversation has transformed your mindset around food.

    Love,

    B

    Is it really biblical to be chasing a number on the scale?

    Takeaways

    1. Diet culture has infiltrated the church and made it an unsafe place for discussions about body image and health.
    2. The 'body as a temple' verse has been misused to shame and judge others based on their appearance.
    3. Fasting can be practiced in a healthy and holy way, but it is important to consider individual circumstances and avoid harmful behaviors.
    4. Alternative fasting options, such as abstaining from social media or comparison, can be just as meaningful and impactful.
    5. Self-discipline should be redefined as honoring hunger and taking care of our bodies, rather than pursuing a specific body size.
    6. Toxic detoxes should be avoided, and emotional eating should be addressed with the help of therapy or other forms of support.
