If you’ve ever lost weight only to gain it all back, you know the frustration of striving, dieting, and doing “all the things.” But what if the very effort to control your health is what’s keeping you stuck?

In this episode, I share the real reason diets fail—and it’s deeper than willpower or meal plans. God revealed to me that dieting often leads to shame, guilt, and exhaustion, and those things are not from Him. True transformation happens when we stop striving and instead enter into His rest.

You’ll hear my personal vision of stepping out of old versions of myself into the healthiest version that looks more like Christ. This isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about becoming whole, healed, and aligned with who God created you to be.

If you’re ready to let go of shame, renew your mind, and embrace freedom that lasts, this conversation will speak straight to your heart.

Living healthy inside and out starts with realizing you are a daughter of the King, created on purpose for a purpose and to learn what it looks like to walk in your identity in Christ. If you don't know, you were created for a specific reason and to be in relationship with the Father is #1, the rest is fluid.

Crush your weight loss goals in the new year, but don't buy the lie that crushing them will make you "NEW".

The term "New Year, New You" drives me nuts, cause we get so stuck in that "all or nothing" thinking and it frustrates you when you aren't seeing the new you come out in a month. What if you changed up the phrase a bit and say "New Year, Better You"?

Why not just take small steps to becoming the better version of YOU, not a new one. You will only be transformed by the renewing of your mind and not just by the pulling up your boot straps and starving!

Welcome to the Weight on the Lord Podcast, where I focus on teaching biblical wellness principles to help you drop the weight emotionally and physically so that you can live healthy from the inside out. I’m your host, Kathryn May, a mental health and Christian Weight Loss Mindset Coach.

Each week we’re diving into weight loss mindsets to support you on your journey to better health and ensure your efforts last long after the diet ends.

As someone who’s been on the diet roller coaster for years, I’ve gained and lost over 400 pounds by focusing all my efforts on short term behavior modification that doesn’t last. I was the master of checking off the list of things to do for weight loss and following every plan to the tee only to find the weight creeping back on the moment I quit following the checklist.

I couldn’t figure out what I was missing in my weight loss journey in order to be successful….that was until I realized I hadn’t stopped to ask God what He said about it all. Once I submitted to take the time to discover the missing link, I’ve found lasting weight loss results without following fad diets or starting my diet every Monday. Consistency is not an elusive unicorn! It’s easy when you learn the principles for becoming someone who is healthy, versus someone who just does healthy things until they’ve hit a goal.

Weight loss that lasts requires self-evaluation and allowing God to show you the areas where you’ve been holding onto unnecessary weight in your mind. Dropping the physical weight is a by-product of releasing the emotional baggage you’ve held onto for far to long.

This Podcast will help you uncover self-sabotaging mindsets and behaviors that hinder your healthy weight loss goals. While there are things you need to do for weight loss, it won’t matter if you haven’t changed your mindset to maintain your results.

This is the #1 reason diets don’t work, because if they did, the diet industry wouldn’t be a 60 billion dollar a year industry with a 95% failure rate. 

I can’t wait to dive into topics that include overcoming emotional eating, the secret to transforming your life inside and out, creating healthy habit formations that lead to consistent results and the amazing power of a mind submitted to Christ! Let’s stop dieting and start thinking for weight loss that lasts.

I can’t wait to share more with you soon and I’d love to invite you to go ahead and subscribe to the show and share it with a friend you love!
