Can God Heal My Unhealthy Relationship With Food and My Body?
Listen now
Description
Heather continues her interview with Angie Baughman about body image issues, focusing on community and comparison challenges, particularly for those with eating disorders. They discuss different dopamine responses to food—through restriction or free eating—and critique diet culture's praise of restrictors. Angie emphasizes the necessity of addressing the underlying causes of disordered eating and the importance of forming a healthy relationship with food. Angie shares that she now understands how freedom from these issues is attainable with God's help and how important supportive relationships are in this non-linear journey. The episode delves into the emotional difficulty of confronting deeper issues rather than distracting oneself with calorie counting or excessive exercise. Angie shares personal insights on trusting God fully in life's challenges. They highlight the misconception that achieving a desired body image brings peace, identifying it as a "false salvation" and encourage introspection on hidden body image issues disguised as discipline.
