Who would give a big YES to this statement: THE CRAVINGS AND STRUGGLES WITH SUGAR ARE REAL ?!

Fit sister, I give it a resounding “Yes!”.  From my childhood on, the need for something sweet to end my day (or make it happy 😵‍💫) was a constant thing. I couldn’t break this kind of addiction by myself. And, it wasn’t seeking worldly wisdom alone. It was ONLY through the Holy Spirit, a wise strategy, and a doable plan that sugar no longer had me in a prison. 

In this episode, I’m excited to share the truth about sugar and how to dump it and detox, God’s way, and, encouragement in The Word (my favorite thing to do ~ share Jesus and uplift YOU 🥰). I’m sharing the dangers of excessive sugar, some crazy foods & drinks that contain an abundance, and a practical plan you can start implementing today to start kicking the habit.

In Christ, you CAN get free from the struggles of cravings and addictions! We don’t need more willpower, we need GOD’s power and strategy. And, He is able!  He did it for me, He’ll do it for you! 🙌 Do you believe it?

If you know someone who needs this episode, please be sure to share it too. ❤️

FIT SISTER 💕 This episode is going to encourage you, build your faith, and make you want to shout for joy! God’s not done! He’s making you stronger! Rise up! Warrior Girl, Get Up! 🙏🔥

It wasn’t supposed to happen. I was supposed to talk about dumping sugar this week. I had all the notes and was fully prepared. But God! He inspired my heart to share words of truth and life to lift you up and spur you forward.  The devil is trying to wear you down, steal your joy, stop your boldness and quench your courage. BUT GOD is calling you to have a crazy faith that gets your feet out of the boat and into a greater level of your destiny!

✨ I know God has a life-giving word for a fit sister out there through this podcast episode, and I’m so excited to be a part of it! Please be sure to share it too! Thank you!! ❤️

Do you ever struggle with feeling confused about what to eat and how to eat to lose weight and be healthy?  Should you do paleo, keto, intermittent fasting or that diet program to shed the pounds? Do you ever feel overwhelmed when shopping at the grocery store? Do you eat disciplined during the day just to give in to temptations at night?

Fit sister, I get it! The struggles are real! All the information out there can be so chaotic. And, knowing what to do and how to overcome is a challenge. What’s a girl to do? —

We need to go back to the basics with God’s help. We need clear, simple answers and Holy Spirit guidance.

This episode will give you loads of eye-opening information of how to eat for life, God’s way, achieve your ideal body weight, and feel amazing! This is what Jesus wants for us! FREEDOM & WISDOM.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-29

 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:5

What do past generations in our family have to do with the way we view fitness, eating habits, nutrition, and body image today? What does God have to say about these things, and how can we break free so we may rewrite our healing stories with Jesus?

Today on the show, with my AMAZING, special guest, we’ll be addressing these questions candidly.  It is God who brings dark things to light so we may truly be healed and walk in freedom in Christ!

Gina is an author, speaker, and therapist, specializing in trauma, and she loves the Lord. Jesus and therapy changed her life!  We met a year ago on an airplane (A Divine “God connection”), and I am so very blessed to bring this episode to you, for such a time as this!

—————
Questions to take before the Holy Spirit and ask ourselves —

1. What was I taught to believe about my body, preferably at a young age?
2. Do I recall any comments that were made about my body or the food that I ate or whether I exercised or didn’t? Was any of that tied to my worth?
3. Was I praised or criticized for how I looked?
4. Was I praised or criticized for my performance in sports, dance or gymnastics? How was that related to my personal feeling of acceptance?
5. How did I hear mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, an older sibling (or other close relative) refer to their own bodies?
6. How did my parent’s talk about each others body?
7. What was I taught about food and exercise growing up? What did I learn?

*Write down your God-best version of yourself and your fitness and health. What does that look like to you?

*What does God say about your body, health and fitness, and your worth?

Scriptures to Encourage You -

I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:14

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare, and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” Jeremiah 29:11

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced His perfect love. 1 John 4:18

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Ephesians 3:19

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, a sound mind, and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7

Join me for Part 2 of Losing the weight - Breaking bad relationships with food! I’m passionate about this subject, Fit Family! In many ways, we become what we ‘eat’.

Do you give in to unhealthy foods (fake food) more often than not?
Do you struggle with driving pass the drive-thru or making a pit stop to your favorite convenience store for that quick-fix?
Are you tired of feeling tired and bloated?
Do you think about food A LOT?
Do you need a different mindset?

In this episode, I continue to give you motivation from God’s Word to get us out of a rut with food control, addictions and unhealthy eating patterns and share practical tips we can start using today to change the way we think about food and make positive changes.

I also address a few common misconceptions about getting fit and losing the weight.

If this podcast blesses you, please share it with a sister (or brother) who needs it. We ALL can grow in this area because we all have to eat! And food, God’s way, is a GIFT to be stewarded and shared.  Thank you so much for listening in!

This may sound crazy, but the devil didn’t want me to get this message out to you. I can’t tell you how difficult and time-consuming it was for me to take what God put on my heart, put it into words,  get it recorded, and finally uploaded…

BUT PRAISE GOD! IT’S HERE. And JESUS IS ABOUT TO SET SOMEONE FREE! The devil is a LIAR!

- Do you feel a lack of passion to get up each morning?
- Are you tired of being tired?
- Do you struggle with getting motivated to move?
- Do you need some toughness in your mind and heart?
- Do you need to kick your butt into gear?
- Are you ready to live your BEST life in Jesus? 

This episode is going to either fire up your heart to make a change or harden it. I PRAY that you open it wide to RECEIVE the tough love that God has for you. I promise, it’s what I needed to hear, as well, and what I want too! I MUST MOVE FORWARD. And so must you. Our lives and the ones we love (and whom Jesus loves) are on the line.

Share this podcast with someone who needs this! For the tough and tender Fit Sisters in Christ, I thank you for your inspiration. Now, climb higher!

It’s time to get free, truly free from the inside-out, and lose the weight for good, God’s way!

Let’s talk about some tough stuff but all wrapped up in God’s goodness and grace. Join me as I share my story with gluttony and how this sin (let’s call it as it really is) keeps us from going deeper with Jesus and finding true food for our bodies and souls and lasting fulfillment. 
He’s the One we’re truly craving!

I’m also sharing 4 practical tips to get us moving in the right direction and out of the devil’s traps. Here’s an overview. Tune in for more in-depth training. 
1️⃣ Admit we need Jesus.
2️⃣ Choose a grateful heart over a gluttonous heart.
3️⃣ Go to God’s Word!
4️⃣ We can’t do everything, but we can do something.

If this podcast blesses you, please share it with a sister (or brother) who needs it. We ALL can grow in this area because we all have to eat! And food, God’s way, is a GIFT to be stewarded and shared.  Thank you so much for listening in!

Have you ever called yourself lazy or a procrastinator? I sure have. (In fact, procrastination is a giant in my life... more about that in the show.)

Do you see other women getting things done and achieving goals and you wonder why you can’t get it together? Been there, too!

Warrior Sister, the truth is that we ALL have been to those harsh places internally where we embrace negative feelings over facts and give in. We ALL need JESUS!

In today’s episode, I’m sharing beyond feelings and labels and into winning action habit steps that the Holy Spirit helped me put into motion over the years. Even though I’m FAR from perfect at it, (I don’t believe perfection is the goal, but growth), I’m NOT the person I used to be. God has brought me so far!

I’m focusing on the Proverbs 31 woman and looking to her example as one to emulate and celebrate. We CAN be virtuous and capable and DO hard things that lead to positive, life-change!

If this episode blesses you, please leave a 5-star rating. Please share it with a friend too!
