You wonder if you’ll ever get “it” right…

“Will I ever stick to my diet?”
“Will I ever feel comfortable in my own skin?”
Has weight loss become more important than my faith?

What happened? 

You just walked past Victoria’s Secret. And, apparently, “her” secret power is making other women feel pretty crappy about themselves.

As a Christian, is this God’s will for your life? I think not! I believe that…

What Is “Bible Body Image”?

I am thrilled to welcome Heather Creekmore from Compared to Who? to Grace Filled Plate. In this video, she will share her top tip for breaking the diet cycle and fixing your body image for good!

The fix is our FOCUS.

What and who (or should I say “whom”?) are you listening to?
What or who are you looking at?

You see, the solution isn’t to think more of ourselves or to think “less of” ourselves but to think more of Him. Because when we spend our time looking in the mirror, we fail to mirror The One who changes lives.

What To Do:

  • Pay attention to the time and energy that you spend wrapped up with “what’s on your plate?” and “what’s happening with your appearance?” Don’t judge. Please don’t get frustrated with yourself. And, absolutely no name calling.
  • Now imagine what would happen if you took just 10% of that time and energy and put it into the things of God. What amazing things could He accomplish through you?
  • Brainstorm 3 ways you can begin to make that shift. Then, determine one idea you will take action on today.

We live in a world that overvalues physical appearance and it’s difficult not to get caught up in the madness. However, the solution is simpler than we think—turn your mirror towards heaven!
