Today is a day of celebrations as we are wrapping up our second season of The Diet Hates Podcast. We’re 24 episodes in and all I can say is, “Wow! I’m so grateful to be doing this podcast with you and I’m so grateful that you and I have been on this journey together for 24 episodes. So so cool!

I’m telling you.. The enemy has fought hard to keep this podcast from happening, which tells me that it must be making a difference. So, if you’re good with it, I’m gonna keep pushing through to victory and shoot for Season 3 unless Jesus comes back to get us before then.

I couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up Season 2 than doing an interview with one of the coolest people out there, my friend Jill.

She has written a memoir full of powerful, raw, gritty truth, and it’s gonna rock your world. I’m inspired by her bravery to tell her story so that others can find healing. Secrets of the Little Green-Eyed Girl, Digging up the Roots of Shame and Guilt, is a book of hope. A book about learning to walk daily in the freedom of being forgiven and clean.

One of the reasons I wanted to have Jill on to talk about the book is because so much of our struggles with weight loss is tied to shame, for many of us anyway, myself included. I’ve met so many women who have spent years of their lives eating their shame away. Again, myself included.

But God did not design us to live our lives this way. In the book, Jill shares her powerful story of God’s forgiveness. And she shares a part of her journey of secrets that she feared would destroy her. She’s pulling back the covers to show what kept her bound and tied to the darkness of shame, as well as sharing the victories, in hopes to inspire you to keep pushing forward.

4 Simple Steps to Weight Loss

How many times have you asked yourself this question, or how many times have you heard others around you say it.. “What if I fail?” "What if I fail again?" “I’m so afraid to start another diet because I just know I’m going to fail this one, too.”

As we learn to overcome the diet mentality, we’re learning how to think differently. How to reframe our thoughts. How to change our mindsets. Learning how to dive into this question, “What if I fail?” is going to help us move forward on our freedom journey.

If you keep telling yourself you’re going to fail again, then you’re right. You’re going to fail. Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” And he’s right.. You get to decide how successful you are on your health journey, my friend.

And it has to start with STOPPING the miserable dieting cycle. Because you will fail if you keep dieting. Why? Because diets are temporary. They bring temporary results. And they also bring shame and condemnation and most of the time, more weight gain than before we started.

But we’re gonna OVERCOME that together, my friend, in this episode of The Diet Haters Podcast. No more fear.. No more dieting. No more asking, “What if I fail?” No more believing lies from the enemy, whose sole purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy us and all of our dreams of being the woman God created us to be.

4 Simple Steps to Weight Loss

We’re gonna get real and raw and down to the nitty gritty in today’s episode. In case you missed it, today’s episode is titled, “Relationship, Religion, & Weight Loss Redemption.” What in the world does religion have to do with weight loss? My answer to that? Everything.

We’re going to dive into some Scripture together where Jesus was talking to the Pharisees and calling out their hardened hearts and how that compares to our own hearts as we pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus and pursue freedom in our health journey.

Religion is full of rules. It’s systematic. It strives for perfection. It has a long list of do’s and don’ts. Relationship…. It’s personal. And it can also be messy.

Our relationship with those we love can be messy. Our relationship with a job we love can get messy. Our relationship with food can get messy.

Today we’re going to learn the difference and take more next right steps towards freedom in our health journey.
