This engaging and fun interview with Amy Carlson--an RD and Eating Disorder specialist for more than twenty years--will make you smile and encourage your heart. We have a straight talk about what to do if you walk away from the doctor's office (or anywhere) feeling like you have a mandate to lose weight. Plus, Amy answers the question, "What if I really need or want to lose weight? How can I be non-diet or not use diets if I really need to drop some pounds for my health!"

We also talk about how to have a "normal" relationship with food. This conversation goes in so many fun places - I had to make it two episodes! Don't miss the second part on Tuesday because it will encourage your heart.

Today we talk about:
"The Holy Grail of Weight Loss" - How an older, more mature dietician gave Amy this surprising secret!
What to do if getting weighed at the doctor is a stressor for you.
How to understand where your doctor is coming from if your only mandate is weight loss.
How to become an expert on your own body, plus
Some of the unfortunate things we've done in the church that put too much emphasis on weight loss . . .

**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.
