137\\ How Can I Make Weight Loss Sustainable?

In this episode, we dive deep into the challenges of finding a sustainable approach to weight loss. Many of us struggle with trying various diets and programs only to find that they aren't sustainable in the long run. Today, we discuss practical steps and mindset shifts needed to make lasting changes. We'll also explore how to align our health journey with our faith and invite God into the process.
In This Episode
Keywords & Topics:
Sustainable Weight Loss
Long-Term Health Goals
Christian Health and Wellness
Quotes:
"Quit picking programs that set you up for an ending you never want! Ask yourself, 'What is the end goal?' and work backward from there."
"We need to start like a kindergartener, relearn the basics, and slowly build on the process to reach the end goal."
Key Takeaways
Reevaluate Past Attempts:
Reflect on previous diets and programs. Did you ever see them as sustainable long-term solutions? The goal is to find an approach that aligns with your life and values.
Define Your End Goal:
What do you want your life to look like at your healthiest? Picture a life not consumed by the scale, feeling confident and free from food confusion.
Simple, Real Food:
Focus on eating real, simple foods. Implement small, manageable changes like meal planning, prepping, and finding time for yourself and rest.
Heart Shift:
Invite God into your journey. Shift your mindset from "I have to" to "I get to" when it comes to making healthy choices. This change can help break generational strongholds and transform your relationship with food and health.
Fit Moms Accelerator:
Our program helps you slowly build a sustainable, enjoyable lifestyle. It's not about quick fixes but about creating freedom and tailoring your journey to who you are. If you're ready for a change, visit kelseywickenhauser.com/join to join.

136\\ Are Ideals Becoming Your Idols? A Weight Loss Conversation for Kingdom-Minded Women

In this episode, we explore the concept of ideals and how they can become idols in our weight loss and wellness journeys. We discuss the tension of striving for perfection and the importance of finding balance, especially for Christian women who want to align their health with their faith. Let's recalibrate our ideals and focus on what truly matters.
In This Episode
Keywords & Topics:
Ideals vs. Idols
Christian Weight Loss
Health and Faith
Quotes:
"Ideals are like an arrow; they guide us, but we must remember they're not the ultimate goal."
"We have to reframe what ideals are for us—it's about direction, not perfection."
Key Takeaways
Understanding Ideals and Idols:
Ideals are standards we aim for, but they can become idols when we expect perfection. It's crucial to find balance and avoid self-condemnation when we fall short.
Living in Tension:
Like Jesus, we must navigate different situations without compromising our true identity. Ideals should guide us, not define us.
Focus on the Bigger Picture:
Our journey is about more than just hitting a number on the scale. It's about living well and being healthy enough to fulfill our Kingdom purposes.

133\\ Intuitive Eating Basics for Christian Women Who Want to Lose Weight (with Guest Nyla Wiebe)

In this enlightening episode, I’m joined by Nyla Wiebe, an expert on intuitive eating, to discuss how Christian women can embrace this approach to heal their relationship with food and achieve lasting weight loss. Learn how intuitive eating aligns with God’s design for our bodies and discover practical tips to begin your journey towards health and wellness.
In This Episode
Keywords & Topics:
Intuitive Eating
Christian Weight Loss
Mindful Eating
Quotes:
"Intuitive eating is an approach that helps women listen to their bodies and eat what they need, in alignment with God’s character."
"God gave us body cues for a reason; it’s time we learn to honor them."
Key Takeaways
What is Intuitive Eating?
Developed about 30 years ago, intuitive eating helps women listen to their bodies and eat what they need, aligning with God’s character. It’s a dietician-created approach based on body cues and includes 10 principles to guide you.
Tips for Intuitive Eating:
Separate emotional eating from intuitive eating by processing emotions and using other tools rather than food to cope.
Honor your body’s hunger cues and cravings, and embrace gentle nutrition.
Practical Advice:
Children naturally practice intuitive eating by stopping when they’re full; adults can learn from this behavior.
Mindfulness is key, as it helps change your palette to appreciate real foods and honor your hunger cues.
