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.

Have you ever taken a moment to reflect on how you track your food? Whether it’s with an app, a notebook, or just in your mind—does it bring a sense of peace to your day, or does it feel like just another thing to manage?
It's easy to think of food tracking as simply a tool for reaching goals, but have you considered how it can sometimes weigh you down instead of lifting you up? While tracking can help you understand your habits and make more intentional choices, it can also start to feel like a constant stressor, impacting your food behaviors in ways you might not expect.
In today’s episode, we’re diving into how tracking might feel like a relief for some, while others find it overwhelming. We’re also going to talk about how this process can shape your relationship with food—sometimes in positive ways, but other times in ways that could hold you back from your true goals.
I’m here to help you find balance and show you how to use tracking as a positive tool in your journey, without letting it control or stress you. If you’re ready for support, I’m offering FREE coaching sessions (4 sessions on me!) to help you discover the balance that works for you. Just reach out to me at taraj@dietditching.com.
Let’s explore this together and find the path that brings you peace while reaching your goals. You deserve it!

Are you finding it hard to get motivated for your workouts or to stick to your fitness routine? You’re not alone. Motivation can be a powerful spark, but it’s often short-lived. It fades just when you need it most.
Here’s the truth: Motivation is fleeting. You can’t rely on it to carry you through the tough days. To achieve long-term success, you need something more—discipline.
But how do you build discipline? And why is it essential to your journey?
In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into the power of discipline and the critical role it plays alongside motivation in achieving your goals. Consistency is what gets you results, not the bursts of inspiration that come and go.
If you’re someone who struggles to stay disciplined, don’t worry. Stick around as we explore how to cultivate this key habit that will carry you all the way to your goals.
Need some guidance or accountability to stay on track? I’ve got 3 free coaching slots available! Reach out to me at taraj@dietditching.com—let's make your goals a reality.
You’ve got this. Discipline is within reach!

Have you ever really lived out your diet struggle through the lense that, as a Christian, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?
Do you make that connection that your body houses the spirit of the living God and treating it as such is something that you rarely focus on when you choose what foods you're eating, how you're eating or even working out?
In today's show, we're talking about what God has called us to do with our bodies, how that can impact our choices in how we treat our bodies with food and exercise and how this can chance our beliefs on the way we live. And we're doing it all today without ANY judgement!
