Ever found yourself hovering in front of the pantry at 9:30 p.m. asking: “Am I actually hungry, or just bored? Emotional? Broken?”
If you’ve ever questioned your body’s hunger cues—or even thought, “If I listened to my hunger, I’d totally lose control and eat ALL the things”—we get that around here.
For Christian women navigating a disordered or anxious relationship with food, this kind of confusion isn’t just common... it’s practically expected in a culture that glorifies diets and demonizes carbs.
But here’s the truth bomb I want to lovingly drop in your lap today:
Your hunger cues are not broken.
Your body is not the enemy.
You can learn to trust your God-designed hunger again.
So, let’s talk about it. In this post (based on a recent episode of the Faith-Filled Food Freedom podcast), we’re going to unpack:
Oh friend, if I had a dollar for every time a Christian woman whispered this question with a cocktail of guilt, shame, and curiosity—I’d be writing this blog from a beach house in Maui. 🏖️
But in all seriousness, if you’ve been wrestling with this exact thought, I want you to hear me loud and clear:
You are NOT disqualified from pursuing food freedom just because part of you still wants weight loss.
Let’s break this tension down together—with grace, truth, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit (not the scale).
First, a big ol’ exhale. You’re not the only Christian woman who feels this way. This desire to “want both” is extremely common—especially if you’ve grown up in a performance-based or image-focused environment.
“Brittany, I don’t want to obsess over food anymore... but also, I’d love...
You don’t need a different body this summer. You need a different perspective.
Whew. Let that sink in for a second, friend.
If the thought of swimsuit season makes you want to grab your comfiest black leggings and oversized T-shirt (even in the blazing July heat 🥵), then keep reading… because this post? It’s written for you.
Whether you’re Googling “how to lose belly fat fast” (no judgment—we’ve all been there), or debating whether it’s actually worth going to the pool because you can’t stand the thought of being seen in a swimsuit, you’re not alone.
But what if I told you that your confidence this summer doesn’t have to come from losing weight or changing your body?
What if it could come from the inside out—through mindset, style choices, and a whole lotta grace?
Let’s dive into a new way to do summer.
Every summer, the same messages creep in...
“You can’t wear that until you l...
Sacrificing your sanity doesn’t make you more holy. Let’s talk about what actually honors Jesus… and it starts with caring for YOU.
Let me guess. You just reheated your coffee for the third time today (and still didn’t drink it). You’ve wiped sticky fingers, packed lunches, managed a toddler meltdown, and maybe—just maybe—answered three emails or texts in the middle of snack time chaos. Somewhere between all that, you remembered: “Oh yeah, I was gonna start working on food freedom this summer.”
Friend… can we talk?
Because I need you to hear me loud and clear:
Prioritizing your recovery isn’t selfish. It’s sacred.
Even as a mama. Especially as a mama.
I hear it all the time from the incredible women I work with:
“I’ll work on my food issues after the kids go back to school.”
“I feel guilty spending time on myself.”
“I can’t start healing until I get all my other responsibilities handled first.”
Sound familiar?...
Does it ever feel like your brain is stuck on a 24/7 food radio station that just won’t shut off? 🎙️
You’re folding laundry—food.
You’re in the middle of a meeting—food.
You’re talking to your spouse—still thinking about food.
If you’re constantly wondering:
…then first, let me give you a big, virtual hug and tell you this: You’re not broken, friend. And you’re definitely not alone. 🙌
In today’s post, I’m going to walk you through exactly why you can’t seem to stop thinking about food and share with you three (okay, four 😉) common reasons your brain won’t let it go.
Plus, I’ll show you what you can do to finally start quieting the food noise—without falling into the diet culture trap of “just try harder.”
Oh, and because I’m all about giving you practical, faith-filled tools, I’ve got a FREE resource you can grab at th...
