Author and Christian Body Image Coach, Heather Creekmore continues her conversation with eating disorder expert and dietitian Amy Carlson. Today they get to the spiritual root and false beliefs around what God expects of our bodies and body size. Amy brings encouragement, hope, and truth to this tricky topic for anyone who struggles with believing that God has a certain size in mind for our bodies. Pretending to be Amy's client in a session, Heather asks tough questions like, "What if God wants me to be a bigger size?" and "How do I stop thinking about this food I love, all the time?"

You'll be challenged and encouraged by the truth revealed in this episode about body image issues, eating disorders, disordered eating, and trusting God.
