Publisher's summary

Change is you—your whole being—not just your waistline.

After almost 20 years in the fitness, culinary, and nutrition industries, Jillian Tedesco has seen how people struggle with implementing changes in their lifestyle. Programs, challenges, macro counting, and fad diets—there is so much noise.

While many sell promises of a “quick fix”, the truth is there is no start or end point to achieving a healthy lifestyle.

In Owning the Wait, fit-flavors CEO Jillian Tedesco shares her proven framework for shaking off the short-term mindset and taking ownership of creating—and keeping—sustainable lifestyle changes.

Inside this book, find:

  • Jillian’s science-backed nutrition philosophy that can stand up to the weather of life
  • How to harness the power of spirituality and a relationship with God to broaden perspectives and open possibilities,
  • Tools for uprooting fixed mindsets and false narratives around food and body image
  • Actionable instructions for visualization exercises, affirmations, owning and processing the failures, and trusting the process.

In the tradition of the podcast How I Built This, Jillian shares her success story as a fitness and nutrition entrepreneur, with a relatable look at her own mess-ups and mental warfare that held her hostage for years. With a conversational writing style that feels like talking to a dear friend, this Christian self-help book for women brings grace and empowerment to the field of health and fitness.

Free yourself of dieting, get off the hamster wheel, and become who you were created to be.

Critic reviews

"A between-the-scenes story that will help you turn your wants into realities—and teach you why crash diets and cutting corners do not work. Owning the Wait connects the dots between what we say we want and it coming to fruition.” (Mindy Musselman, RDN, CDCES, diabetes educator, and cohost of Curious Me podcast)

“Every page bursts with energy, authenticity, expertise, and above all, faith. Part memoir, part business manual, part motivational manifesto, if you take this book to heart, you can’t help becoming a much better version of yourself.” (Vaughn Kohler, speaker, consultant, author of Sacred Drive, and founder of Empowered Fellowship)

Convicted… spiritually and about my health

I cannot even begin to explain how convicted spiritually I was within the first 30 minutes and in tears. Now for my health… I have 4 children and was able to “bounce back” after my first child, but my body never recovered to pre-babies after children 2-4. I am always looking for something to help, but I struggle with my relationship with food and my overall mindset. Listening to this book has motivated to educate myself about how good REALLY affects my body. Also, the work ethic Jillian has is incredible!! I definitely am inspired to up my game. Highly recommend this book!
