Take Every Thought Captive

I get asked a lot – what EXACTLY do you do?

And HOW are you able to help me lose weight over the phone and via email?

It’s easy – I become your soul sister.

I guide you in choosing an eating plan that works for you.

I help you find exercise that you enjoy.

I celebrate with you as you lose weight, end your struggles with food and FEEL BETTER.

But what brings me the GREATEST JOY is helping you to hold captive the thoughts that are holding you back. To challenge the story that keeps you from fully stepping into God’s promises for you.

This work is so much more than weight loss – THAT struggle is a symptom of a bigger problem. Weight or emotional eating show up for you as a distraction to your life. The thoughts that keep you consumed about losing weight and eating healthy keep you stuck in a cycle of self-defeat.

“Why can’t I figure this out?”

“What’s wrong with me?”

“I suck!”

“I’ll never get this right!”

Sometimes we aren’t even aware of WHAT we are saying to ourselves – but the thoughts are there – whether you are fully aware of them or not.

If you are currently struggling to lose weight – chances are VERY good that you have some limiting beliefs about yourself. And the story you keep telling yourself (ya know, the one you would NEVER say out loud) – that story is holding your back. That story is stopping you from living the life you were created for.

It’s time to rewrite you story.

When you fully believe in God’s truth and promises for you – you take ownership of your role in this story – and then you can do the work. Part of this work is realizing that your circumstances DO NOT define you…..unless you let them. Your thoughts about what’s going on in your life are the ONLY thing holding you back.

This is not an attempt to make you feel guilty or bad….this is to INSPIRE you to take the steps necessary to have the life you dream about. The life that is free of weight struggles, free of the battle with food, free of the thoughts that suck the life right out of you.

God has given us the ability to take every thought captive and to renew our minds. In Ephesians 4:23 (NIV), God instructs us “to be made new in the attitude of your minds”.

We have the ability to take a look at every thought we have, inspect its meaning, choose whether we believe it or not. Don’t fool yourself into THINKING that you don’t have a choice in what your brain does.

Are there thoughts that are easier for you to think than others? Sure! But that’s only because you’ve had a lot of practice at those thoughts. And rest assured, all of those limiting beliefs you have about food and losing weight, you’ve had A TON of practice believing them.

Here’s the good news my friends, once you realize that THIS is what it takes to end your struggles and redirect your focus on the desires of you heart – you realize the “magic pill” is within you. There’s not a diet or exercise program out there that will bring you the peace, happiness and joy that you so deeply desire. God has already given ALL of that to you – you just need to get rid of the thoughts that tell you otherwise.

If you are ready to start this journey – email me and let’s schedule a chat!

    Sometimes I wonder if you are reading my mind … or my heart … every single thing you write speaks to me in some way. So blessed that our paths crossed when they did. #divineintervention
