Maybe you're like me and and you've been obsessed with your weight.
This episode is part one of a 4-part series that tackles some of the themes from my book: Secret Donuts: A Journey to Getting Over Your Weight, Aligned with God and into Your Purpose.
This episode goes into detail about the backstory of what inspired me the write the book, what the book is about and I even read the introduction.
I call this book a prerequisite to weight loss. It’s setting a foundation of mind-rightness before body snatched-ness. And I felt like this was necessary because I’ve had seasons when I was fit but still could not shake the need and the obsession to lose more weight. It was never enough. The problem wasn’t the weight but the importance I assigned to my weight.
The final destination of Secret Donuts isn’t to have lost weight by the end of it, it is to get to a mental space where I could take it or leave it. Where the thought of weight loss didn’t consume me, didn’t define me, didn’t define how I felt about myself and didn’t change how I showed up in the world. The point was to get to a space where I had permanently placed God back on the throne in my life and placed myself back on my agenda because I learned to love me as he truly does: unconditionally.
You know who this reminded me of?
Paul and his thorn. Read more about that in 2 Corinthians 12:7-9..
We might be more alike than you think...
