Ever had your computer freeze on you mid-task and that little rainbow wheel of doom just spins… and spins… and spins? 😵💫
You're clicking, typing, praying over the keyboard like, “Lord, PLEASE let this thing come back to life”… but nothing happens.
All the potential is sitting right there on your screen, but you can’t move forward.
Sound familiar?
For so many Christian women struggling with food and body anxiety, that’s exactly what happens in your brain every single day.
The mental load, the constantly spinning thoughts about what you “should” eat, whether you messed up, if your body looks bigger today, whether you exercised enough, what people are thinking…
It's exhausting.
It steals your peace.
It hijacks your joy.
And it absolutely freezes forward movement in other areas of your life — especially the ones God has actually called you to.
But here’s the thing, sis:
Freedom is possible. Yes, for...
Whew — we’re going there today, friend.
If you’ve ever thought…
“I want food freedom… I really do… BUT ____.”
…then pull up a cozy chair, grab your chai, and let’s chat. Because you are not the only Christian woman who loves Jesus AND still finds herself wrestling with food guilt, body stress, and the sneaky voice saying you “should” have this figured out by now.
And hey — I get it. I’ve heard all the fears, excuses, and “not yets” over the years (and honestly? I’ve believed half of them myself at some point).
But those fears?
Those excuses?
Those sneaky thoughts that sound logical?
They're often the very things standing between you and the joy-filled, peace-drenched food freedom Jesus desires for you. 🕊️
So today, we’re breaking down the Top 5 Excuses Christian women believe about pursuing food freedom — and replacing them with Scripture, clarity, and encouragement that empowers you ...
If you’ve ever cringed at something your kid came home saying about food or their body after a day at school… friend, I get it.
I’ll never forget the day my son—fresh out of kindergarten—waltzed through the door clutching a worksheet from his “healthy eating lesson.” He proudly showed me where he had circled the “healthy” foods and X’d out the “unhealthy” ones, just like the teacher told him to.
Cue the deep sigh, the slow sink into my chair, and the eye roll (yes, all three happened in quick succession 😅). As a food freedom dietitian and mama who works hard to teach my kids that all foods are morally neutral, this worksheet felt like a flashing neon sign for one of those “We need to talk” moments.
Because here’s the deal—those kinds of messages? They don’t just stay on the worksheet. They sink deep into our kids’ little hearts and minds, shaping how they see food… and eventually, how they see themselves.
And...
Friend, your lack of motivation isn't the problem—and you're NOT failing.
Last summer? I had THE plan.
You know the one. The gloriously idealistic, Pinterest-worthy, color-coded summer schedule for my kids with:
And for like… two weeks? It actually worked. 🎉
But then… reality.
The schedule got tossed aside, the activities weren’t quite as exciting anymore, and those "quiet" work blocks? They turned into:

“Mom, I need a snack!”
