She Breaks Free....Ditch the Diet & Change Your Relationship with Food & Fitness
Are you exhausted mentally and physically from obsessing about food? Sick of playing the game of depriving yourself, then cleaning out the house by Monday, just to do it all over again? Ready to finally break free from “what you’re supposed to do” and find out what’s best FOR YOU? Is it time for you to break the rules you set for yourself and find out what is best for you, your body & your mental health? In this podcast, you will find the tools you need to finally break free from the “rules” around diet and exercise. Whether they are rules that you have been following because someone said so, or rules you’ve created for yourself, you’ll find out here how to change your mindset and find freedom. Gain insights on what will work for you, your physiology, your psychology and your life! My mission is to equip you with the necessary tools to find freedom for yourself and free up the mental energy and time to live out the life you are called to live. If you’re ready to dive in, get honest and learn to trust yourself, you’ve found the right place. Hey there! I’m Tara. A wife, mother, fitness professional and a recovered obsessor of diet and exercise. For most of my adult life I have tried to gain control and change how I look by using diet and exercise. I have fought many years of a lonely, mental battle. I spent years caught in the cycle of depriving and bingeing. I was so exhausted mentally of all the constant thinking of food. When can I eat? What will I eat? Will there be enough to eat? All this coupled with the fact I was trying to exercise my way into losing a certain amount of weight or changing how I looked, I was FINALLY fed up with how I was living. I began working through solutions to trust myself, gain confidence and finally be free from the mental drain I lived with for over 15 years. My faith in Jesus has sustained me through this journey, and I have come out on the other side stronger, more confident and I have so much more mental energy and time to devote to what is really important in my life. If you’ve gotten to the place of “throwing your hands up” and you’re ready to find freedom from the rules of diet & exercise you’ve established in your life…. If you’re ready to learn to trust yourself, find a healthy relationship with food and the workouts that are best for you…. Put your big girl pants on and lay the cookie down. It’s time to be accountable for your time, your life and your calling! To subscribe to my email newsletter, click here: https://bit.ly/3Qbxe00.

Do you find yourself eating in secret due to fear of judgment?
Do you sneak away to consume foods you believe you're not "supposed to" eat?
Concealing our actions often indicates a deeper emotional issue. God sees all and is always with us. Yet, sometimes, the shame pushes us further from Him rather than drawing us nearer.
I want to offer encouragement today. His grace is enough, and there is liberation in bringing these actions to light. He wishes for you to discover true freedom and put an end to this behavior.

Do you consider skipping meals when the scale shows an increase?
In this episode, I'll share three cautions against calorie deprivation to meet a summer weight goal. This approach can backfire for some, leading them down an unintended path.
For others, yo-yo dieting and deprivation can negatively impact metabolism. I'll explain how to manage a calorie deficit correctly for sustainable results rather than long-term damage.
