Thank you for this!! I have lost 160 pounds and have struggled with being ok with that, to the point where I have put back on 30 pounds. All because of the attention I was getting from others, feeling guilt and shame, like I was maybe being a stumbling block to others, that I wasn’t relatable to women anymore as their trainer and Bible study leader. I really needed to hear all of this so I can walk in true freedom in Jesus.
THIS was so good! Opinions about body image can stir up some anxiety and when you add males into the frame, I image many breaths being held in!!.. But wow, it was perfectly addressed, my heart says!
Not sure how to change this so it's not showing as my son's channel but this was such a timely message as I help my 16 year old daughter pick her dress for winter formal. Uffdah. As someone raised in and by the purity(body shame) culture I need to remember to talk about her heart and not her body.
