Are you struggling with your eating? do you feel like you just can't stop eating? does it seem to control you more than you controlling what goes into your mouth? Food doesn't get to have a say sis. The enemy is using food and sugar and food addiction or food shame as I like to call it, more than ever and we got to put a stop to it! Food is our fuel not his fuel in order to gain control over us! he doesn't get to win this battle. In today's episode I'm gonna walk you through some steps on how we can take back control and surrender to the Lord not food.

Its so easy to fall into that worldly pride vibe, and forget our focus, forget who gave us this body to begin with. It's honestly a hard battle day after day at times. But we CAN as believers be confident in who we are, the results we achieve, and that's because we know those results come from HIM! We are not our own, and today I'm going to give you some steps and reminders on how you can continue on the path of being CONFIDENT but confident GOD'S way!! :)

its so easy in todays culture and society, especially in the fitness world to work hard for the "Gosh you got hot" or "mama you are looking good" kinda compliments, the approval, the looks, or maybe the shock effect when you completely change and transform your life. BUT, what if no one saw it. What if no one complimented? What if no one even noticed you showing up in your fitness journey and habits each day? Would you still do it? Would you still have the same excitement and discipline or work ethic as you do now?

So many of us struggle with this all or nothing thinking, or as my grams likes to say, "this stinkin thinkin". It is stinkin for sure! If you think about it all perfectionism does is DRAIN US. We never accomplish perfectionism, we aren't Christ but somehow we seem to think if we just do more, push harder, be better, do differently, that somehow magically we will be perfect". I wane help us get rid of this, it's destroying so many women's progresses and exhausting them along the way. In today's episode I hope to help provide you with tips on how to squash this perfectionistic mindset.

Girlllll its time to lay that perfectionistic mindset and them tendencies DOWN lay them at the feet of Jesus! It's sabotaging and destroying the opportunity for growth and progress in your journey more than you know!!

Being obedient to Christ and going against some of natural human wants and needs can be difficult at times. Espeically, especially if you are on the right path with this and start feeling your worth and value through Christ and the enemy sees it, he knows? shewww girl we then got a target on our back for some stupid enemy schemes and mind games coming our way.

Doing what's right isn't always butterflies and rainbows. Doing what's right doesn't necessarily always FEEL good. It isn't always convenient. Its not always comfortable. But it's always going to be used for HIS glory. He always has a plan for us. He always sees the beauty before we do in the outcomes. & that goes right along with our fitness journeys too!
