You are SO MUCH MORE than a number on a scale. It’s time to take an integrative approach.
One of the biggest reasons I see women fail in their weight loss or health efforts is by being too narrow minded in their approach. When you focus on losing weight or trying to be healthier and deal with nutrition and exercise alone, it yields only temporary results.
Understanding that to really CHANGE such a large part of ourselves must be dealt with an integrative approach. Being willing to make changes not only in the physical body, but more importantly in your mind, your thoughts, your emotions and your relationship with God.
“Jesus answered, “For it is written: ‘Man does not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4
If we begin examining ‘every word’ of God and use that as our compass for righteous and healthy living and allow it to permeate every part of our being, there is NO WAY we can exclude or single-out our health and physical body as just “one area” to make a change.
You must be using a whole mind + body approach for ultimate success.
I encourage you today to do some self-examination. Have you been treating your health or weight loss as a separate entity, separate from all the other areas of your life? Do you see how this is a flawed approach and will only warrant short term or partial results?
>> I encourage you to pray and journal and ask God how you can begin making changes not just in your physical body, but emotional, spiritual, mental and relational as well. For we are an amazingly integrated creation which deserves an equally integrative approach to health.

There’s ONE KEY element to know if your weight loss plan will work, even BEFORE you get started.
There are literally HUNDREDS of options when you’re choosing a plan or path to follow for successful weight loss. Some are more viable and successful than others, but regardless, there are many options that can get you to the same goal.
And most likely, you’ve already tried a few, heck, maybe even dozens with mild or temporary success. But I wanted to encourage you today with a different perspective. One that has nothing to do with rules or restrictions or guidelines.
Often times when someone decides to embark upon a specific set of rules or eating guidelines, they are making A LOT of changes at once. To the point where their long-term success rate is low because it’s so hard to maintain all of these changes over any significant length of time.
They bring chaos, confusion, and ultimately STRESS when someone is trying to bring so many radical changes to their daily life out of the blue. When weight loss is laden with STRESS, Honey, it’s not gonna work!
So the KEY ELEMENT when you’re looking to make changes and follow one plan over the another is look at it through new eyes. Through the lenses of sustainability and stress.
Evaluate how radical the changes are going to be from your current status quo. How much stress are they going to bring to your current lifestyle? Think of making smaller changes over time. Then once those are easy you can add a few more in until you’ve cultivated new patterns and habits of health into your routine. I highly advise against attempting change everything at once which will NOT give you the long-term results you desire.
This approach leads to quitting, then to feeling like a failure (once again!) then to self-loathing and ultimately to overeating and reversing your progress. See the cycle?
I hope this new approach or new way of screening any “diets” or plans you’re wanting to follow helps to set you up for success in a different way than you’ve tried before. Remember, long-term weight loss and health changes are like a marathon, not a sprint. You need to have that long-term mindset and a firm grasp of reality to keep you going. Sending you love!

P.S. If you’re frustrated and scared of continuing the cycle of dieting “ups and downs” and feel there’s a missing piece you haven’t found, then having a coach could be the game-changer you’ve been looking for.
Regardless of what path you choose to lose weight, I can help you go deeper into what has REALLY been stopping or thwarting your best efforts for change. The those things are hard to discover and move past without a firm and supporting guide.
Schedule a complimentary Strategy Session with me today. Let’s take you to that next level of success.
