We want to lose extra weight and make fitness and health our priority and lifestyle. That’s great except when it takes over our heart, mind, and how we live out this life. Our intentions, as lovers of Jesus, is to have Him lead our way and light our path BUT when we make weight loss, fitness, and health our MAIN thing it gets easier and easier to push God to the side. When He starts to fade away from our thoughts we forget about His promises and the fact that HE is what gives us peace, joy, and contentment. We also lose any desire to know Him deeper. And when we pay no attention to His words we miss out on so many opportunities to give HIM the glory. 

When I hear loud thoughts inside my head saying, “You’ll lose out if you don’t do this or look like fill-in-the-blank” … and when I start to feel drained from doing all the things body, fitness, weight loss, watching how much food to take in, what’s too much, what should I avoid, what should I eat more of, and on and on and on… it’s a sign that I’m overdue to check-in with myself. It’s a reminder to ask: Have I been spending excessive amounts of time working on my body for worthless reasons? The answer is always, YES!

If you consistently strive to reach those weight goals because your outward appearance matters more to you than anything (or anyone) else… If you can admit that your fitness and weight loss motivations are overshadowing your relationship with Jesus… If you would rather go to the gym even though you know your home needs some attention… If you’re bitter because there aren’t enough healthy options at the birthday party you went to… And you choose to hang out with your gym friends on the weekends instead of resting or restoring your body or having face-to-face time with the ones you have been given the role to take care of… Then, this is the episode for you. How do we steward our bodies without falling into the trap of self-centeredness while we’re living in a world that never runs out of temptations, lies, shiny objects, and highlight reels? 

Stay Courageous & Fit,

Jaclyn

Obsessing about your weight and obsessing about what you see when you look in the mirror? Constantly jumping from diet to diet? Is starvation mode normal to you? Are you bullying yourself by saying things like I’m fat and worthless? Are you someone who works out all week long but then binges on the weekends? Maybe you believe that buying that new diet and health bible study is the solution to your food issues as a Christian woman? Maybe you don’t even consider your food struggles as issues at all because everyone else around you has the same issues so it feels “normal”. Are you sick and tired and want freedom from it all?
