Ep 104 | Diet Mentality vs Food Freedom as a Christian // Finding Your Worth in Jesus
Last week Cat Sharp shared her food freedom story going from binge eating to finding her freedom and worth through Christ, not through diet. It was such a powerful story, so if you haven’t yet, I encourage you to go back and take a listen so you can know where we’re going today. I’m bringing Cat back on to help us learn how to eliminate the diet mentality for good and to find food freedom ourselves.

Listen to dive deeper into these thoughts
1. The diet mentality leads to a cycle of restrict and binge, which perpetuates the lie that we are not good enough unless we can follow certain rules and achieve a certain result.
2. If we were able to follow rules to obtain a status of “enough”, or “lovable”, why would we need Jesus?
3. Food freedom happens when we realize the Truth – we have been set free. Our bodies are precious resources, and we steward them out of gratitude and honor to our Creator.
