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.

Struggling to fit in breakfast before dashing out the door each morning, leading you to skip it and just hold out until lunch with your favorite drink? You're not alone.
Need a breakfast that's quick, easy, and deliciously satisfying? You've come to the right place!
I'm excited to share my current go-to favorites with you. These include my top protein powder pick (after trying numerous brands), the best flavor combos, and the most enjoyable ways to consume them!

Combo #1:

Blend and savor the flavor!
Combo #2:

Are you doing "all the right things," like eating 1200 calories a day and exercising, but not seeing the scale budge?
Do you feel more stressed when consuming so few calories compared to when you're not counting at all?
In today's episode, I'll discuss how living in a constant calorie deficit, or chronic dieting, may actually prevent weight loss. Your body requires rest and nourishment. Discover how eating more and spending time in maintenance mode throughout the year can set the stage for successful fat loss.

Do you feel apprehensive about abandoning macro counting, meal prepping, and strict adherence to a food plan? Are you worried that without these controls, you might lose restraint and indulge excessively, leading to weight gain?
Have you attempted to let go before, but the slightest increase on the scale sent you into a panic, preventing you from proceeding?
In this episode, I'll provide you with five steps or practical tools to help you conquer the fear of ending your diet. It's about teaching your body to experience a state of nourishment. This isn't a green light to eat indiscriminately; it's about overcoming the trepidation of diet cessation. You'll learn to replace fear with trust, understanding how to eat according to your body's needs.

Do you "fall off the wagon" when the holidays arrive? Do you give yourself permission to eat whatever you desire during life's special events?
Do you "start over on Monday" after indulging in two slices of wedding cake over the weekend?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be adhering to a social norm that contradicts the concept of food freedom. This pattern of behavior can prevent you from achieving true liberation from food-related stress, making you feel obligated to partake simply because it's a special occasion.
Life brims with special events, occasions, and foods. Rather than approaching them with trepidation, fearing a loss of control, consider preparing for these events with the proper mindset and mindfulness.
If we succumb to "falling off the wagon" consistently, we'll never attain the freedom to savor life's pleasures without the subsequent guilt and shame.
