I recently started losing weight this past year I’ve lost about 60 pounds and one thing I learned during weight loss is how freeing it is to stop thinking SO much about food. Like I started filling my life with more of the LORD and His Word and outdoor activities and things I love and I realized that food became more about fueling my body than filling my heart and life and mind. Of course as a woman I have days I want to eat for emotions sake and not health and that is just a matter of navigation and prayer but I’m grateful for the freedom the LORD has provided and I pray that anyone else struggling in the same ways can find that freedom with God. ❤
This was so encouraging! I’ve always struggled with body image and have been in a harder stint the past few months. It’s so refreshing to hear other women (whom I love and respect so much might I add💌) speak biblical truth and point towards God in a healthy and honoring way. It’s so easy to spiral inside your own head and I think conversations like these do wonders !!
I needed this. I’m recovering from a postpartum stroke, happened at 2 months postpartum. When I was pregnant I daydreamed about loosing the pregnancy weight, getting fit again, and keeping up with my toddlers. Rather I’ve spent postpartum in and out the hospital, using a walker (I’m 26), and depending on family to help take care of my 2 toddlers and newborn. Haven’t been happy with how I feel or look, but so grateful that God gave me another chance to live. That’s what really counts. It’s all about recovery, wherever you are at in life. Being healthy, recovering, and taking care of the temple God gave you. Thank you for this encouraging video girlies. ♥️
Hi friend, thank you so much for sharing a bit of your story. That sounds incredibly hard and I am so sorry for all the suffering you have been walking through. It sounds like you have an incredible perspective and are trusting in the Lord! You are a beautiful testimony for all of us to see: to trust God in every season no matter what!
So much wisdom in this video, thank you for sharing! I found my recovery journey to be very similar- binging was such a dark pit with so much shame, and I wanted God to just help me have the strength to snap out of it, without having to tell anyone or ask for help. Looking back, He taught me so much about surrendering, vulnerability, and having patience in slow progress during it all.
Hello Ashley & Taylor! I have missed seeing you both together. I think being a woman we all have struggled with body image. I have found out in the year 2024 that when I cut out foods that had Maltodextrin and Dextrose in it, and GMO’s. I no longer have food cravings. I follow Dr. Berg and Bobby Parrish. I came across an article where the food industry has conspired with the tobacco industry into making a chemical to keep people craving food the way they do cigarettes. Maltodextrin and Dextrose are pure sugar. Do you ever wonder why almost all the population is diabetic and obese? Obesity started in the early 90’s. Food should be looked at as an energy source. I also take vitamin supplements because as we get older that is something we definitely need. I think you too lovely ladies are beautiful! Love you both! Yes, you have come a long way! ❤️❤️😊
Thank you so much for this. As a mother of two I feel like I've lost who I am as an individual and have only focused on my role as a mom. In doing that, I have let myself go and just "accepted" being overweight. I feel like I need to really pray about why I want to lose the weight and my intentions are and go from there. All of your points really validated my feelings and I truly appreciate your vulnerability throughout this journey. God Bless ❤
Thank you for this! I went through eating issues the first half of this year and I was asking the same thing about deliverance, so this helped so much!! 💕
Thank y’all for this video💕 I’ve always struggled with body image issues but especially now since I’m 4 months postpartum. When I was 18 I obsessed over what I ate, working out, and getting skinny and that was my #1 focus. Now I’m 32 and my body is nothing like it was back then and that’s ok. I’ve accepted that now I’m in a healthier frame of mind and that it’s part of life to change as we get older❤️
This was SO mature, well spoken, beautiful and knowledgeable. I really appreciate you guys talking about this topic. Binge eating recovery right here, so this was perfectly timed!
This is a beautiful message. In my life I'm waking through gut issues which causes my belly to bloat and hurt and caused me to lose weight. It's hard to eat more to get to a healthy weight when I fear getting bloated again. But I need to glorify Him in nourishing this body no matter the lies in my head or the standards and fears ive set over myself.
This might have been about body image and food struggles, but you made me reflect on other parts of my life where I am lacking, like what I am really focusing on (social media, marriage, and too much slumber). Thank you for encouraging me to focus on God and let him do the work, just like what Jesus said cast your burdens unto me.
Taylor and Ashley thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing to speak about this specific topic that many of us struggle with and keep on the low from others❤️❤️❤️❤️
Most, if not all of us, go through body image issues and food struggles. It's an everyday battle. Thanks for sharing your journey with us girls. I especially appreciated when Taylor mentioned body image issues she had when she was a bit younger because that is the season I am in right now. It's hard not to compare yourself to others, even at Church, especially when looking to get into a relationship. You both look lovely btw!❤ Baby Theo is in my prayers and so are you both. God bless you!
So encouraging. I struggle with being too skinny. I usually get my head bitten off when I say that. I am embarrassed to wear shorter dresses. I wear long dresses to cover my stick legs. I have been on all kinds of fat building “diets” with no success. I repent to God for being embarrassed of the body He gave me.
Thanks for this today! At some point as a diabetic, I've had to prioritize my health. It has helped me to know why I have to do that. I must stay away from sugar because I don't want to go to the hospital. I gave myself a time to eat anything I wanted and my hemoglobin A1C was extremely high and I felt sick all the time. Your advice was so good about that area Taylor! This was very good today!
The struggle is real, I am not too sure what to do. As I have had the binge eating and body image struggle. Unfortunately, it caused alot of damage to my body. I have pcos, insulin sensitive, thyroid and also high blood pressure at 34. My body really rejects sugars quite drastically, but my mind feels that deprivation and wants to binge, but I feel really sick. I have gone back and forth between sugar moderation and sugar abstinence. I feel best with abstinence, but the urge to binge comes back too. It feels like a battle with my mind and body. The last I prayed to God, the scripture I got was Whether you eat or drink Glorify God. I really want to have peace about food and focus God, but with all these health issues and binge eating disorder, I am not sure which way is most glorifying to God.
do you think a person needs to figure out the root of their control issue associated with food, to heal? I have food control issues. It got worse when my son was diagnosed with leukemia.
Such a relevant video for women, especially. Do guys go through the level of angst that women go through about body image and weight … I don’t think so! ❤️🇨🇦🙏
Hi. Even as a woman of God, I believe women are just made like that. We will always be aware of our weight. We cannot do anything about our features (like broad hips), but our hormones do fluctuate. I think all women can feel when you have gained or lost weight, and feel a little chubby or to thin. It is just how we are made.

Thank you so much for sharing, friend! That is so encouraging to hear that you have found freedom in the Lord! God is SO GOOD!
they don’t want you to read the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki because it sets you free
Thank you sooo much for talking about this topic❤❤

Thank you so much friend! That is so ENCOURAGING to hear. We want to be as honest and open as possible! :) We love you!
You both look amazing! ❤ Love having you on together!
I’m thankful for this topic. And I’m 48!!!
Thank you, Jesus‼️🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️✝️ Thank you all! ❤️I needed to hear this!❤️❤️
Praise God!
This was a great balance of biblical, psychological, and practical advice. That's hard to do. Many people overemphasize one.
Thank you friend!
Thank you so much for this video. I needed this so much. Merry Christmas!
Wow, Taylor! You hit the nail on the head for me regarding the magnifying glass and focus is on my body and losing weight.
I needed this. I’m recovering from a postpartum stroke, happened at 2 months postpartum. When I was pregnant I daydreamed about loosing the pregnancy weight, getting fit again, and keeping up with my toddlers.

I love you girls you guys are so raw and beautiful not made up or fake. thanks for the truth in depth.
You are so sweet. Thank you so so much, friend! That is our goal!
I relate to the binging episodes.
The struggle is real, I am not too sure what to do. As I have had the binge eating and body image struggle.
Unfortunately, it caused alot of damage to my body. I have pcos, insulin sensitive, thyroid and also high blood pressure at 34.
My body really rejects sugars quite drastically, but my mind feels that deprivation and wants to binge, but I feel really sick.

I really want to have peace about food and focus God, but with all these health issues and binge eating disorder, I am not sure which way is most glorifying to God.
Hi Taylor and Ashley God bless you!
What counseling do you guys use?
You two grow to look more and more alike. And lately, when Taylor does a video, I think your voice sounds so much like Ashley! 💞 Sisters
do you think a person needs to figure out the root of their control issue associated with food, to heal? I have food control issues. It got worse when my son was diagnosed with leukemia.
Such a relevant video for women, especially. Do guys go through the level of angst that women go through about body image and weight … I don’t think so! ❤️🇨🇦🙏
How old are you all now and your significant others, if you don’t mind me asking?
Hi. Even as a woman of God, I believe women are just made like that. We will always be aware of our weight. We cannot do anything about our features (like broad hips), but our hormones do fluctuate. I think all women can feel when you have gained or lost weight, and feel a little chubby or to thin. It is just how we are made.
the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki is what everyone avoids because it’s too real
everything you believe might crumble if you read the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki
the truth feels dangerous, and that’s why the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki is ignored
