Have you ever noticed that the very area you struggle with the most—maybe it’s weight loss—also seems to be the place God keeps gently drawing your attention back to?

Welcome to Faith Filled Friday 🤍

Today, we’re talking about a powerful truth: sometimes the place where you feel the weakest is actually the place God wants to meet you the most. It’s where He wants to strengthen you, refine you, and draw you closer to His heart.

Your desire to lose weight isn’t just about your body or your health. It can be an invitation—an open door to deeper dependence on Jesus, deeper trust, and deeper freedom.

If this resonates, I’d love to walk this journey with you. Come join us in our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free, or reach out to me directly at taraj@dietditching.com. You don’t have to do this alone.

Let me ask you something. How many times have you stepped into a brand-new year saying, “This is it. This is finally the year I lose the weight,” only to feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or burned out before February even shows up?

If that sounds familiar, welcome back to the podcast—and friend, you are exactly where you’re meant to be today.

Because we’re not talking about another extreme plan. Not about perfection. Not about white-knuckling your way through a list of food rules you’ll feel guilty about breaking in a few weeks. Instead, today we’re talking about how to start strong in a way that actually lasts—with a simple, sustainable, faith-filled approach to your health.

This episode is all about creating a New Year plan you can stick to. One built on small, doable nutrition shifts, gentle but effective movement, intentional time with Jesus, and a completely renewed mindset around food and your body.

If you’re tired of the all-or-nothing cycle… if you’re ready to stop starting over… and if you want to begin this year feeling stronger, calmer, and more aligned with the woman God is shaping you to be—then let’s dive in.

Welcome back, friend. I’m really glad you’re here today—because we’re tackling one of the most common (and frustrating) fitness questions women ask: Can I lose weight in just one specific area of my body? You’ve probably heard it called spot reducing.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “If I could just flatten my stomach… tone my arms… or slim down my thighs, I’d finally feel good in my body”? If that’s you, I want you to know—you’re not alone. Almost every woman has that one area that feels extra stubborn.

And the fitness world knows it. That’s why we’re constantly being sold promises like 10-minute ab workouts, arm-toning challenges, or thin-thigh fixes. If it sounds too good to be true… well, today we’re going to talk about that.

In this episode, we’re getting honest about what’s real, what’s not, and what actually works when it comes to changing your body. And here’s the good news—you have way more control than you’ve been led to believe.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand exactly why targeted fat loss doesn’t work—but more importantly, you’ll walk away with practical, doable strategies you can start using today to feel stronger, more confident, and clear on what to focus on.
