🎉 Dear Food Workbook One – Chapter 10 🎉 Welcome to the Dear Food Podcast, where health, joy, and food freedom are not just goals, but real possibilities. I'm your host, Julia Fikse, and I'm thrilled to have you here with me today. As we journey through the triumphs and challenges of wellness, one thing is clear: victories are worth celebrating. Introducing the STAY LOW acronym, a practical tool I've developed to help you navigate these tricky situations with the guidance of the Lord. 🙏 S - Seek Him: Our first step is to seek God first. Practically, this means redirecting our focus from food to God. Walk away from the temptation and turn to the Lord. 🙌 T - Trust Him: Embrace the belief that God is good and will help. Trust that God can assist in overcoming powerful emotions and challenging circumstances. 🙏 A - Ask Him: Invite God into the situation. Recognize that we need His help to navigate these challenges. 🙌 Y - Yes Lord: Be open to adjusting your desires to God's best for you. This willingness to align with God's will strengthens our faith muscle over time. 📖 L - Listen: Pay attention to how the Holy Spirit guides you. It could be a Scripture, a still small voice, or an encouraging message from another source that is in line with what the Word of God teaches us in the Bible. 👣 O - Obey: Act on the guidance received. This may involve discipline or stepping out of your comfort zone, but remember that God's ways are higher than ours. 🌟 W - Watch Him Work: Observe how God intervenes as you stay low. Be grateful for His providence and watch as He helps and works wonders in your life. Get Julia’s Book Dear Food, I Love You. I Hate You.

Today, we're celebrating victories – big and small – that have brought us closer to our goals. Your resilience and victory testimonies continue to inspire us all! Sometimes, certain foods act like pacifiers, providing comfort during tough times. But as we grow, it's essential to recognize when these "comfort foods" are no longer beneficial and might even harm our health. Let's seek God's help to break free from their grip. Creating a list of addictive and/or unhealthy comfort foods and praying about how we "use" them allows us to consider replacing food addiction with prayer and healthier alternatives. Through this process, we can deepen our relationship with the Lord and experience improvements in our physical and mental health. Get Julia’s Book Dear Food, I Love You. I Hate You. Don’t Leave Me!

By detaching food from our feelings, we make space for Jesus to fill our hearts with His love and grace. Julia encourages us to embrace the freedom Jesus offers and reminds us that our journey is significant and unique. We are not alone in this transformation; seeking God's guidance brings joy and growth along the way.

| What Is The Dear Food Program? | 30 Jun 2023 | 00:12:15 | |
Welcome to the Dear Food Podcast! 🎧 I’m Julia Fikse, your host, and I'm thrilled that you're here with us.In today's episode, we're diving into what sets this program apart from diet culture and other programs you may have tried before. Let's jump right in! 💪 How the Program Works: The Dear Food Program is a three-part workbook series designed for Bible study groups. Each book guides the group through a ten-week session, fostering growth and support. But don't worry, you can also do this program alone if you prefer to work with just you and God. It's all about finding what works best for you. 🙏 What is the Dear Food Program? It's a Healthy Eating Bible study that tackles food strongholds, addiction, and challenges through workbook exercises, prayer, Bible study, and reflection. We'll shift the focus from just what we eat to understanding why we eat and cultivating a healthy mind, emotional state, and spiritual life. Together, we'll discover a new path towards holistic well-being. 🌱 What This Program Is Not: Unlike traditional diets, this program won't dictate what you should or shouldn't eat. We're not about restrictions or shame. Instead, we'll learn to listen to our bodies and create a personalized plan with God's guidance. This is a journey of self-discovery, self-care, and finding victory in Jesus. 🙌 Workbook One: Emotions and Food: In this workbook, we'll unravel the tangled knot of emotions, food, and our relationship with God. We'll uncover why we turn to food for comfort, learn to put God first in our lives, and explore healthy ways to cope with powerful emotions. Get ready to remove shame and embrace a fresh start. 🌟 Workbook Two: Ten Power Tools for Lasting Food Freedom: After laying the groundwork in Workbook One, we'll delve into practical tools for lasting change. We'll focus on finding healthy replacements for using food as a crutch and discover ways to maintain our progress. Workbook Two is a valuable resource to support your journey. 🛠️ Workbook Three: Discovering Your Authentic Eating: In Workbook Three, we'll finally dive into the realm of food choices. While I'm not a nutritionist or doctor, we'll explore how to make decisions that honor our bodies and unique needs. We'll partner with the Lord in crafting an authentic and healthy eating plan that aligns with our individuality. 🍎 Join the Dear Food Program: Throughout this program, we'll learn to live and flourish with God by our side. Our goal is to banish shame, experience victories, and embrace an abundant life beyond the table. I can't wait to hear your stories and successes! Share your journey and insights with me, and let's support each other. Remember, prayer is powerful, and I'm here for you. 🤗 If you're ready to take the next step towards victory and discover a new way of living, grab your copy of Dear Food Workbook One and embark on this incredible journey of transformation.

| Jesus Is The Answer. What Was The Question? | 16 Jun 2023 | 00:15:28 | |
In this episode, we explore Chapter Four of the workbook, titled "Jesus is the Answer. What was the question?" We delve into the misconceptions and struggles we may face when it comes to our food issues and the well-intentioned advice we often receive. But fear not, because Jesus does care and He wants to help us. 🙏 Scripture reassures us that He is our refuge, strength, and ever-present help in times of trouble. We discuss the three important questions: Will you help me, Jesus? When will you help me, Jesus? And how will you help me, Jesus? Discover the empowering answers to these questions as we uncover the truth of Jesus' love and desire to assist us, not just with food struggles but with every aspect of our lives. 🌟 Join me on the Dear Food Podcast, and together, let's celebrate victories, grow in health and wellness, and journey towards food freedom. 🎧✨ To learn more about Julia's work, visit her website: https://onesteptowellness.com/ And don't forget to get your copies of the books on Amazon: Workbook One: https://a.co/d/ebLfohZ Workbook Two: https://a.co/d/5cIaBEb #DearFoodPodcast, #GodsVisionForHealth, #FoodFreedomJourney, #WellnessReflections, #EmbraceYourself, #TransformedByLove, #HealthAndFaith, #BibleStudy, #MindfulLiving, #CelebrateVictories, #JourneyToWellness, #OneStepToWellness, #TreasureYourself, #SelfLove, #InspiringHealth, #DiscoverYourPurpose, #NourishYourSoul, #FaithInWellness, #MindBodyConnection, #PositiveChange, #HolisticLiving | |||

| Is This Really Going To Work? | 26 May 2023 | 00:10:52 | |
Chapter One: "Is This Really Going To Work?" In this episode, we celebrate victories on our journey to health and food freedom. Listeners share their successes, inspiring us all. We then dive into Chapter One of Dear Food, I Love You. I Hate You. Don't Leave Me! Workbook One. We explore the common question, "Is this really going to work?" and the challenges we face when starting a new diet. We turn to the Bible for guidance, finding inspiration in Philippians 3:13-14 and Romans 7:15-25. Instead of focusing on why we want to eat healthy, we shift our perspective to the benefits we'll experience by overcoming food strongholds. Taking time to reflect and create a list of personal benefits, we strengthen our motivation. We also learn to seek God's guidance in moments of temptation and ask for His vision of health for our bodies. We conclude with a prayer, asking for wisdom and thanking the Lord for His loving support. Remember to celebrate your progress and display your benefits list as a reminder of your journey. You are beautiful, and Jesus loves and supports you in your path to food freedom. Thank you for joining us, and may we be Food Faith Full Together.
