In today's Intuitive Eating coaching call, Heather talks to her coaches, Erin Todd and Char-Lee Cassel from the Intuitive Eating for Christian Women podcast about how she's spent so many years trying not to eat and how unfamiliar it is to have that permission.





Today we start by looking at scripture. In Proverbs 13:25 the Bible talks about eating until their hearts are content. Then in Proverbs 14:1, the next verse in the Bible, scripture references a woman using her own hands to tear down her house. We talk about how restricting food leads to tearing down our earthly homes and breaking down our bodies by not nourishing them the way they need.



 Here are some other topics we talk about in today's "Trying Not to Eat" coaching call: 




How odd it is that we tend to praise those who can go without food or "resist" the "temptation" to eat, when eating is necessary and healthy.
How it is a revolutionary concept to most of us that shrinking our body isn't the healthiest thing for it.
How physically good it is for your body to care for it and not uber focus on your weight.
How we've trained our brains to be against our bodies.
Why trying not to eat is not as healthy as we've been taught.
How eating carbohydrates helps stabilize your blood sugar and makes you feel better.
What Heather learned about Intuitive Eating when she overdid it with the Bark Thins.
Who we are really "obeying" when we don't nourish our bodies.
How the abundant life isn't really about getting food right, it's about having so much life the food isn't as important!

**The Go-to Podcast for Christian women who want to improve their body image and stop comparing themselves to others!**
Are you a Christian woman who is tired of the same old answers to your body image and comparison struggles? 
Have you "tried everything," yet still feel like your body isn't enough or should be better? 
Do you know that "God looks at the heart" or "You're fearfully and wonderfully made" yet STILL feel like maybe God should have made your body better?
Bonus: Have you ever prayed for God to zap you skinny? ;) (Your secret is safe here.)

If you answered yes to any of the above, then Compared to Who? A Biblical Approach to Body Image Issues is the show for you!

Twice a week, we tackle tough topics like feeling out of control with food, body shame, disordered eating, weight loss, aging, dieting, body dysmorphia, body hatred, and more from a practical, grace-filled, biblical, and gospel-centered perspective.

I'm Heather Creekmore, author of several books (including a forthcoming body image workbook), speaker, and Christian body image coach. Our approach to body image issues is relatable, authentic, and truth-driven. We hope every episode is filled with grace and hope for your personal struggle. I spent decades battling the scale and the mirror. But, now I help women get free from body image issues so they can stop comparing and start living. Listen to laugh about all the common ways we struggle and find encouragement for our journey.
