Overweighted: Lose Weight Without a Diet, Eat What You Want, Be More Consistent

In episode 153, this is a raw and real live session where I'm sharing my personal weight loss journey—how I went from nearly 400lbs and years of yo-yo dieting to experiencing freedom not just in my body, but in my heart and mind. I talk about: - Growing up without weight struggles but falling into people pleasing - How trying to find validation in food, money, and others left me empty - What finally broke the cycle and why enough was enough - How God met me in my mess and taught me that He alone is enough - Starting my YouTube channel with no views but full obedience - Losing emotional and mental weight while losing physical weight - Why I now coach from calling not from results - And the truth: even if I gained every pound back, my identity is still in Christ If you've ever struggled with emotional eating, people pleasing, or tying your worth to your weight... this one is for you. Let's talk about the weight that doesn't show up on a scale—and the One who can truly set you free. ⭐Ready to break free from what's blocking you?

In episode, 152, we're discussing that if you've ever lost weight, only to gain it all back (plus more), you are not alone. That yo-yo dieting cycle is exhausting—and discouraging. In this episode, I'm sharing the 5 deeper reasons why you keep yo-yo dieting and what you can start doing differently today Inside this video, we'll talk about: Why relying on willpower alone isn't enough (and what God offers instead) What happens when you only address the body but ignore your spirit and soul How to stay grounded when “life is life-ing” and everything goes off track Why rules and restriction won't heal emotional eating And how to follow God's plan for weight loss—not the world's ⭐️ If you've tried everything and still feel stuck, it's time for a new approach—one rooted in healing, not hustling.

Plus I'll share some Biblical keys to help you overcome so that you can find yourself being more consistent than ever before.

In episode 103, In my weight loss journey, I struggled for years, repeatedly losing and regaining weight. I found a game-changing strategy by focusing on gradual lifestyle changes instead of dieting. However, I still grappled with old habits and cycles. Then, I began business coaching with a Christian coach, which unexpectedly evolved into spiritual coaching. She posed a profound question: 'Is God enough for me?'   I thought I could confidently answer 'yes,' but as I delved deeper, I realized that I had been seeking love and comfort outside of Him for most of my life. Emotional pain led me to use food as a coping mechanism, contributing to my weight gain. It became a protective wall, but also a suffocating prison.   Through my weight loss journey and deepening relationship with God, two crucial changes occurred:   I discovered that all the love I craved was in Jesus. Instead of turning to food, I turned to God for comfort and healing.   Listen as I share the story and why it's important to you.
