There was a time in my life when dieting felt… righteous. It felt disciplined. It felt obedient. It felt like I was finally “getting my life together.” I’d wake up early. (Not today, lol) I’d resist carbs. I’d push through hunger. I’d over-exercise.

And somewhere deep inside, I felt morally superior for it. That’s the part we don’t talk about.

Diet culture doesn’t just sell thinness.
It sells virtue.

It whispers:
👉”Good girls have control.”
👉”Godly women are disciplined.”
👉”Your body reflects your spiritual life.”
👉”If you just tried harder, you’d be smaller.”

And in Christian spaces? It gets even sneakier.

We baptize it with Bible verses.

We call it “self-control.”
We call it “temple stewardship.”
We call it “discipline.”

But here’s the hard truth:

Obsession is not holiness.
Shrinking is not sanctification.
Hunger is not righteousness.

Let’s talk about actual fruit of the Spirit.

Love.
Joy.
Peace.
Patience.
Kindness.
Goodness.
Faithfulness.
Gentleness.
Self-controollllll. I hear my sweet grandson, Liam saying this verse🥰

Self-control was never meant to mean:
🛑ignoring your body
🛑distrusting your hunger
🛑punishing yourself for eating
🛑shrinking to be acceptable

Biblical self-control is Spirit led wisdom….not fear-based restriction.

Diet culture mimics holiness because it demands sacrifice. But it demands the wrong altar.

It asks you to lay down:
📣your peace
📣your joy
📣your social life
📣your mental health
📣your body trust

And calls it “discipline.”

God never asked you to starve to prove your devotion. He never asked you to shrink to reflect His glory. He never tied your worth to your waistline.

And here’s what really wrecked me when I realized it:

I wasn’t pursuing health. I was pursuing approval. From people. From the mirror. From myself. Maybe even from God.

But Jesus did not die so you could count macros in His name.

He died so you could be FREE.

🎯FREE from comparison.
🎯 FREE from shame.
🎯 FREE from body obsession.
🎯 FREE from the lie that smaller equals holier.

Holiness isn’t measured in pounds lost. It’s measured in love lived. And love does not starve.

If this hits something tender in you, pause. Maybe the “discipline” you’ve been clinging to is actually fear. Maybe what you’ve labeled stewardship is actually striving.

Friend, God is not impressed by your hunger.
He is near to your heart.

You don’t have to shrink to be sacred.
You already belong.

Something feels off.
You can’t quite name it. But you know it’s there.

Maybe it’s the way Monday always feels like a fresh start — and Friday feels like failure.

Maybe it’s the way you walked past a mirror this morning and something in your chest tightened before you even had a thought.

Maybe it’s that you’ve done everything “right” — the plans, the programs, the clean eating — and you still don’t feel free. You still don’t feel like enough.

Friend, can I say something gently?

There is nothing wrong with YOU sweet friend.

But there is something wrong with the story you’ve been told about your body.

Diet culture handed you a project. It pointed at your body and said: fix this, shrink this, control this — and then you’ll be worthy. Then you’ll be loved. Then you can rest.

But the rest never came, did it? Because that finish line doesn’t exist.

I know this place. I lived in it for most of my life — exhausted, ashamed, shrinking in more ways than one. And I remember how confusing it felt to know something was wrong but not have words for what it was.

So if that’s where you are today — if something in you is stirring and you don’t know why — I want you to know:
✨You’re not crazy.
✨You’re not weak.
✨You’re not too far gone.

You are a woman made in the image of God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and you were never meant to spend your life at war with the body He gave you.

God calls your body good.

Freedom is real. And it starts right here — with someone finally telling you the truth.

Save this if you needed to hear it today. And know that you are not alone🤍🤍🤍

Big hugs,
Nicole💗

🌟Imma just leave this right here!🌟
Friend, YOU are more than a body! Diet culture and social media is always telling us how we don’t measure up because of our size, weight, or looks.

We see before and after pictures and while at first glance you might think that it can be encouraging but it’s also extremely damaging and toxic to others. The diet industry thrives on them though.
They thrive on your insecurities. These images can cause you to compare yourself and can send a vey dangerous message that certain types of bodies are better than others.

Our insecurities can then lead us to the next best diet, restricting, binging, over exercising, and much worse. Diets don’t work on a permanent lifelong basis and they sure don’t promote freedom. Most often when you reach your desired weight you gain it all back and then some within 5 years or less.

If you only love your body when you love how you LOOK that is not love.. That is
OBJECTIFICATION. Think about that for just a minute.

🌟Your body is an instrument, not an ornament.

I’m here to tell you, no matter what your size, weight, or color sweet friend you are GOOD and accepted just the way you are.

🌟 Your body is good right now.

I know that’s hard to accept and think but it’s true! His Word says, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:14

“There is no beauty finish line you have to cross before you deserve to feel good about yourself. You are worthy of love exactly the way you are.”

👑You are worthy of love.

👑You are good just the way you are.

👑You are accepted just the way you are.

👑You are Gods masterpiece.

👑You are the apple of His eye.

🌟🌟🌟Just let that sink in and pe*****te in those deepest places of your heart!

👑You are loved just the way you are.

👑You are more than a body!🌟

Body shame has a way of keeping us quiet. It whispers that we should hide, push through, or try harder….without ever naming what hurts.

Shame grows in the shadows, but it cannot survive in the light of truth.

And the truth is this: God calls your body good.

Breaking free from body shame means bringing the struggle into the light—with God, with safe people, and with gentleness toward yourself.

You don’t heal shame by correcting your body.
You heal it by remembering how God sees it.

You are allowed to step out of hiding.
Your body doesn’t need fixing—it needs to be treated as something God treasures.

So many women approach their bodies like projects—something to manage, discipline, or improve before they’re worthy of rest or joy.

But what if your body isn’t a problem at all?
What if it’s a place God wants to meet you?

Our bodies were designed for connection, not constant correction. Shame teaches us to distrust ourselves, while grace invites us back into relationship…with hunger, rest, pleasure, limits, and need.

God isn’t waiting for you to feel better about your body before He delights in you.

He delights in you NOW.

You are not behind. You are not broken. You are becoming.

Your Body Has a Story & It Deserves Compassion

One of the most freeing truths in Try Softer is this:
your body’s responses make sense in light of what you’ve lived through.

If you’re anxious, numb, hyper-vigilant, or exhausted, it’s not because you’re broken or lacking faith. It may be because your nervous system learned how to survive.

Healing doesn’t happen through shame or pressure. It happens through safety, curiosity, and kindness.

Trying softer invites us to stop fighting our bodies and start listening to them. To move from, “What’s wrong with me?” to, “What happened to me — and what do I need now?”

(Side note, the book What Happened To You is excellent and very eye opening)

Your body is not the enemy.

It’s been working very hard for you.

You’re allowed to make peace with your body at your own pace.

If you struggle with body shame, it doesn’t mean you’re self-focused or shallow. It means your body learned something along the way.

Body shame is often the language of protection. It forms when our nervous system decides it’s safer to hide, control, numb, or fix than to be seen and misunderstood. For many of us, that learning happened early….through family dynamics, comments about our bodies, faith messages that skipped over feelings, trauma, or living in a culture obsessed with thinness and “self-control.”

Shame doesn’t live just in our thoughts. It lives in our shoulders, our gut, our breath. It shows up in how we eat, how we move, how we relate, and how we talk to ourselves when no one else is listening.

God isn’t disappointed in your struggle with your body. He isn’t waiting for you to feel confident or healed before He comes close. From the beginning, His question has been relational, not corrective: Where are you?

Not—why are you like this? Not—how do we fix you?
But—where did you learn you weren’t safe to be fully seen?

Your body isn’t the problem. It’s been trying to protect you. And healing starts with listening, not shaming.

For so long, many of us were taught not to trust our feelings.

But friend, feelings are information. They are meant to be felt, named, and explored not shoved down in the name of faith.

Unfelt feelings don’t disappear. They take root and often show up as disordered eating, addiction, anxiety, or control.

God is not afraid of our emotions. Healing begins when we stop bypassing and start listening with curiosity, wisdom, safety, and grace.

Maybe today isn’t about fixing anything but just noticing what your feelings might be trying to tell you.

If you’ve ever looked at your body and felt a quiet heaviness—like something is wrong with you…you’re not alone sweet friend. That feeling didn’t come from nowhere.

Before diet culture ever spoke, God did.

Before anyone told you your body needed fixing, shrinking, or controlling, God looked at what He made and called it good. Read that again…..He called YOUR BODY GOOD.

Body shame feels personal, but it isn’t. It’s learned in a world that teaches us to distrust what God declared good.

Breaking free from body shame begins by returning to that first truth:
✨Your body is not a mistake.
✨It is not morally flawed.
✨It is not a problem to solve.

If God calls your body good, then shame is a lie that must be unlearned.

Today, let this be your starting point…not self criticism, but God’s truth. You don’t need to fix what He already calls good. You just need to come home to it.

Have a blessed and wonderful day!

For many of us, the church unintentionally taught us that the body God created is something to fear.

We were told, “The heart is deceitful,” and somewhere along the way our bodies got lumped in with that warning. Hunger became suspect. Desire became dangerous. Physical needs were framed as weakness. Trusting the body was confused with indulging the flesh.

So we learned to override, ignore, discipline, and mistrust ourselves…..all in the name of holiness.

But Scripture never says the body itself is bad.

It says the flesh…our wounded, fear-driven, self-protective patterns — can pull us away from God. Yet the body? The body was knit together by Him.
Called very good.
Chosen as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit.

When we treat the body as a liar, we end up disconnecting from one of the primary ways God speaks to us.

Hunger, fullness, fatigue, pleasure, rest…these are not moral failures. They are information. Signals. Invitations to care, not to control.

Jesus did not shame bodies.
He fed them.
He touched them.
He rested when He was tired.
He honored limits.

Undieting isn’t about idolizing the body…it’s about redeeming our relationship with it. Learning to listen again. To trust that God did not design us to be at war with ourselves.

What if trusting your body is not rebellion…
but remembrance? A returning to the truth that God’s design was never the problem.

And maybe this season isn’t about fixing your body at all… but finally making peace with what God has always called good.

Let’s talk about restriction.

Restricting food groups, calories, or meals doesn’t just affect your body. It affects your mind and your soul, too.

I used restriction for so many years. But what I eventually noticed was this: I wasn’t just restricting food….I was depleting myself.

My energy.
My emotional capacity.
My ability to feel joy.

Restriction didn’t make life better.
It numbed me.

What I wanted was more joy, but I was actually starving joy and happiness. Everything hinged on how “good” I thought I’d been that day.

Did I restrict enough?
Did I burn enough calories?
Did I shove my emotions down far enough to survive the day?

That wasn’t discipline. That was survival mode.

I lived there for a long time—until God said, “No more.” And once He puts His finger on something, it’s time.

Healing didn’t come from one big breakthrough.
It came from the 2-millimeter work….digging new trails, choosing nourishment over punishment,
learning how to feel again.

Undieting isn’t about giving up. It’s about making space for life.

In 2026, I’m not restricting my body. I’m restoring my soul.

✨ If this resonates with you, you don’t have to do this alone. I offer gentle, Christ-centered undieting coaching for women who are tired of surviving and ready to find freedom with food, their bodies, and God.

You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
And it’s okay to take the next small step.

I want to ask you something…..not to pressure you, but to be honest.

What is it costing you to keep doing this alone?

Not just financially… but emotionally.

• How much mental space does food take?
• How often do you second-guess yourself?
• How many moments have been stolen by body shame?
• How long have you been waiting to feel “ready”?

Many women tell me:
“I thought I just needed to try harder.”
But what they actually needed was support.

Waiting doesn’t make fear disappear.
It usually just makes it quieter — and longer-lasting.

You don’t lose money by investing in support.
You lose time by staying stuck.

And you deserve care now — not after you “get it together.”

Big hugs,
Nicole🩷
