I am an emotional eater. When I’m sad I want all the food. Let me tell you, I have had many sad moments recently. My mom passed away unexpectedly 4 months ago and I have done quite a job putting food on top of all those feelings. This past January I had started a fitness journey as a fitness coach and lost a good bit of weight, but I managed to gain most of it back in the last four months. I completely abandoned the things I knew were good for my body and the things that keep my body happy. I ate out most every day after the onslaught of food brought by friends stopped. I stopped exercising, which I did almost daily before.
As someone who tries to encourage women and equip them with the ability to love themselves and their bodies where they are, I don’t feel good when I look in the mirror right now. I feel tired and like I’ve let down not only myself, but the people who have been following me for the last year.
So, I’ve decided to do something about it. A reboot on my relationship with food if you will and a journey to grow closer to God. Maybe you share some of the same feelings I’ve been having? Maybe you need to learn how to love yourself better? Or maybe you need to learn to put down the fork and seek out the one who truly provides comfort to the weary and hurting? I’m ready to get started and I would like to invite you to join me on the journey. Starting in January I will be hosting a study on the book Full by Asheritah Ciuciu, in a private Facebook group. In her book she explores how to create a healthier relationship with food through a stronger relationship with Jesus!
Join my Facebook group, where the study will take place, here and buy your copy of the book here. Join me and let’s explore food, faith and satisfaction! Feel free to share with any friends you think would enjoy this study as well!

I’m so sorry about the loss of your mom. I realized last year that I also have an unhealthy relationship with food. I fought it and lost 28 lbs, but fell back into my old ways with a pregnancy, miscarriage, another pregnancy, 2 moves, and a career change, all in 7 months! I honestly hadn’t thought of bringing my faith into this struggle. This book and FB group are such a great idea!
