138\\ What If I Don't Want to Give Up My Fun Foods? A Christian Approach to Weight Loss and Junk Food

In this episode, I dive into one of the biggest fears many women have when starting their Kingdom-minded weight loss journey—giving up their favorite "fun foods." Whether it's that beloved nighttime ice cream, the comfort of chips with dinner, or the special creamer in your coffee, the thought of letting go can be overwhelming. But today, I’m here to reassure you that focusing on real food doesn’t have to feel restrictive. We’ll explore how to find freedom in your food choices and live an abundant life in alignment with God’s plan for your health—without feeling deprived.

In This Episode:

• Kingdom-minded weight loss
• Real food freedom
• Overcoming food-related fears

"Are you open to the Lord changing your mind? Because the more you press into God's design for food, the more you'll crave real nourishment over quick fixes."

"Every great success story begins with a simple 'Yes, I’m going to start.' Your journey to freedom starts today."

In this episode, these were my key takeaways:

1. The fear of giving up "fun foods" is often based on false anticipation. Your life might be better without them, and you may not need them as much as you think.
2. Kingdom-minded weight loss is about surrendering your food choices to God and being open to learning new ways that align with His design.
3. Real food can bring freedom and joy—food should fuel your body and spirit, not control you.

Scripture Highlight: Romans 12:2 - "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." Reflection: This verse reminds us that transformation begins with a renewed mind, allowing God to change our desires and lead us into healthier choices that honor Him.
