In today’s vulnerable episode, I’m delving into an area of my past that I’ve never shared before: the ins and outs of the 2.5 years that I struggled with disordered eating. 

If you’re in the midst of a similar battle, please know: I have done my best to strike a balance between sharing enough detail that you can see how subtly the enemy works and expose the lies I believed at the time, WHILE avoiding being specific enough to accidentally provide an unhealthy plan for weight loss. 

I do not discuss anything number-related, and I avoid discussing exact behaviors that I engaged in at the time (I do briefly mention allowing my relationship with food to interfere with my social life). I intentionally focus on the internal battle in my mind, rather than sharing minutiae that could potentially be triggering to some listeners. I bet we’ve all heard a conversation that gave us more details than we needed and left us feeling a tad traumatized; you can rest assured that this conversation is not one of those.

My goals in this episode are to: 

• Reveal the tactics of the enemy that led me down this path (so that you can recognize & avoid them!)

• Highlight the moment that God set me on my journey to freedom 

• Explain how I learned to LIVE INTO this freedom over time

• Offer hope for anyone in a similar situation (or anyone who loves someone in a similar situation), that they, too, can be rescued from this stronghold

• Instill confidence that no matter what your problems are in life, whether related to body image or not, God delights in you and desires your freedom.
