Main Topics Covered

🤝 What an Agreement Actually Is

Definition: A meeting of the mind, acceptance and action of future commitment

The most powerful commitment: putting yourself first

A transaction of trust and faith from where you are to where you want to be

The difference between silent self-agreements and shared commitments

💔 The Problem with Eating Disorders and Agreements

You're not living in agreement with who you are - you're believing lies about who you need to be

The division between heart (wanting freedom) and mind (feeling unable to give up control)

Living at war with yourself instead of in alignment

How lies about perfection, size, and worth create false agreements

🚫 Lies You Need to Fall Out of Agreement With

"You're not good enough"

"You have to be perfect"

"You have to be the smallest"

"You're going to gain all this weight and hate your life"

"You're just not ever going to change"

✨ The Power of Making THE Agreement

Choosing to stand in agreement in both heart and mind

Rebuking the division between what you want and what you believe is possible

The courage required to step forward with hope and trust

Making the choice to follow through no matter what it takes

🔥 The Reality Check Section

"No one's coming to save you" - hard truth about personal responsibility

No one will give you a permission slip to freedom

This life is yours and yours alone

When you accept 100% responsibility, you gain your power back

⚔️ The Fighting Questions

Lindsey challenges you to ask:

Are you fighting FOR yourself or AGAINST yourself?

Are you fighting FOR recovery or against it?

Are you fighting FOR your future or against it?

Are you standing in your truth or believing the enemy's lies?

Which side are you agreeing with?

🙏 The Biblical Foundation

Matthew 18:19: "If two of you agree here on Earth about anything you ask for, it will be done"

Lindsey stands in agreement with listeners (1 + 1 = 2)

The enemy wants to kill, steal, and destroy - but you can stand against it

Your obligation to stand no matter what opposition comes

The Agreement Declarations

Declaration #1: "Even though I don't know what it's like yet to break free from this disordered relationship that I have with food and myself, I can rebuke the lies that I've been believing. Today I deeply choose to love and accept and honor myself and my body. Today I choose to stand in agreement."

Declaration #2: "It is my duty. It is my destiny. It is in my design to become the woman I was created to be. I break the agreement of lies that I've been believing for so long. I break them because I'm free to be me. This is my time and today is my day to honor me."

Journal Prompts for Your Agreement

"What lies am I believing that I need to fall out of agreement with?"

"What must I give up in order to heal my life?"

"Who am I standing in agreement with?"

"What do I truly want for my future self?"

"What evidence am I searching for that I'll fail, and how can I redirect this?"

The Agreement Process
