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 !!
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❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
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!
Wow so much wisdom even for those without food struggles but just for any struggles we face in life! Two questions, what and how. So helpful, thanks for sharing!!
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❤️
Such a great conversation ❤ struggled with this most of my life and weirdly in the last few weeks now that I had a baby, I love my body. Amazed by it and how God used my body to bring new life. Such a gift
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!
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 ❤
you are not alone in that! It is so hard postpartum! I have also had to pray about that same thing. I do not think it is wrong to want to be healthy for yourself and you kids :)
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.
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!
I got rid of my Instagram in September, and it has truly been so freeing for me! I realized it was a negative space for me because I was constantly comparing how I looked to everyone else. I’ve been taking the time to be intentional in keeping up with friends and family personally instead of just through social media.
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! ❤️❤️😊
Thanks guys. I believe my path just now is to steward my temple well. Its knowing where to start, there is so much out there on eating well. Its a mine field and I dont want to be a bad steward of funds by wasting money on something that promises results but doesn't deliver.
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!
In no way is my body flawless. But I love all of me, the transformation, the journey to wholeness and wellness, and actually looking better in my 40s than my early years of adulthood with God's help. Do not compare your body to other women. It can be an unnecessary discouragement from your wellness goals.
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.
The goal is to be healthy, NOT skinny. Becaue you can be a size 0 and still have poor health. If you truly eat healthy, you are going to be skinny anyways because healthy food is not fattening at all. Everyone who is reading this..make sure to take care of your body. Eat healthy and drink tons of water on a daily basis so that won't suffer from unnecessary diseases & so that you can live as long as God wants you to live. When you eat healthy, you'll feel healthy. EAT TO LIVE, DON'T LIVE TO EAT ! Make sure to also take care of your mental health , because it's just as important. I love you all. Merry Christmas & Happy new year❤❤❤!!
There is so much to talk about but the thing that stuck out to me was the you not having social media. I also know Ashley struggles with that as well. Can y’all do a video talking about that? I personally feel tied to social and have gotten to points where I want to delete them but then I wouldn’t have met y’all, Kwynn or seen y’alls encouraging videos too so it’s definitely a struggle!
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.
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.
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.

We love you!
You both look amazing! ❤ Love having you on together!
I’m thankful for this topic. And I’m 48!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I needed this so much. Merry Christmas!

Thank you sooo much for talking about this topic❤❤
:)
Wow, Taylor! You hit the nail on the head for me regarding the magnifying glass and focus is on my body and losing weight.
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.

Thank you so so much friend! God is with you and walking with you through this!
Thank you, Jesus‼️🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️✝️ Thank you all! ❤️I needed to hear this!❤️❤️
Praise God!

Praying for you, friend!

AMAZING!!! Our bodies are truly incredible gifts from God! Hope you are doing well postpartum! Praying for you Ashley!

This was a great balance of biblical, psychological, and practical advice. That's hard to do. Many people overemphasize one.
Thank you friend!

And I'm having to retrain my brain and mind to receive and be grateful for all the foods He has blessed my body with❤
So many gold nuggets🙌

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
Hi Taylor and Ashley God bless you!
What counseling do you guys use?
I relate to the binging episodes.
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! ❤️🇨🇦🙏
Love your earrings 😍
How did you begin recovery for e d.
What does recovery look like for you? How do you stay in recovery? Are you part of a group for that?
How long have you been in recovery?
How old are you all now and your significant others, if you don’t mind me asking?
the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki is what everyone avoids because it’s too real
they don’t want you to read the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki because it sets you free
Only salvation through Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, will set you free. Praying for you! 🙏🏻✝️
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.
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
