Hey girl HEY! Today I am getting to the TRUTH of eating disorder recovery & what it means to break the chains. For so long, I thought I could do it all myself, yet my transformation point in my battle with anorexia came when I got down on my knees & asked God for help.  Recovery is a journey, not a destination. & even though this may be hard to hear for you, it gets harder before it gets better. Recovery is all about "choice". & choosing over & over again daily to fight the battle in your mind so that you can win the ultimate war! There are no short cuts. No easy paths. No magic pills. But, there is nothing worth more than your future to be completely FREE from disordered behaviors & thoughts controlling your life.  Listen in today, to hear more about my recovery truth & story & for a strategy to help you let go of your eating disorder once & for all. + I talk about Steve Furtick's message, "Bent Knees, Break Chains" & I share some pretty epic scriptures to help navigate your journey to freedom. If you are here for it, then join in for today's show! Need a battleplan? I got you sis!

HAPPY NEW YEAR SWEET FRIEND! Did you know, that 50% of new year resolutions don't stick after January?! (mind blown right! - nahhh lol) Habits don't work. You get excited but then you do this ONE thing that leaves you stuck in the trap of food controlling your life.... YOU THINK! That's right....The only reason I have a healthy relationship with food & my body is because I stopped giving my brain the power to make excuses. I stopped thinking & overthinking. What did I do instead? I just started DOING! When you struggle with eating disorder behaviors, instead of adding on additional behaviors or "false promises" to your new year...what you really need is to stop thinking & start acting.  STOP believing that motivation will last. Stop adding to your plate (no pun intended). STOP expecting different results, while you continue to do the exact same things. Yes, you need desire to recover & find peace with food & your body. But the most important step in the process is ACTION. In order to rewire your hijacked brain, you must create habit reversals by implementing small changes forward. These small but mighty actions & alterations will completely change your life & your future.  Stop making it easy to have an unhealthy relationship with food. What can you STOP doing today? What can you let go of? Do the opposite of what your brain is "thinking". In order to get something different you have to DO something different. Need a battleplan? I got you sis! Reach out to my team at info@lindseynichol.com & let's get you on the schedule for 2023 coaching with me! I hope to work with you in the new year! with love & purpose + all the new year wishes, lindsey _ Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com  ______ Connect with Me -＞ info@lindseynichol.com  ______ Join the free HBS Society -＞ www.facebook.com/groups/herbestselfsociety/  ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Fad diets are pre-cursors to eating disorders. Yes, I said it! Did you know that according to the National Eating Disorder Association, 35% of normal dieters progress to chronic dieters, & 25% of those individuals develop eating disorders?! Isn't this wild?! The best known contributor to the development of disordered eating & full blown eating disorders is the cultural idealization of "thinness".  What is super troubling however, is that 95% of dieters will regain lost weight back (& then some) 1-5 years following their diet. But this doesn't stop the weight loss industry from pushing products & new diets down your face every new year! Roughly, 60 billion dollars are spent each year (& that is just Americans) on diet products and programs. STOP DOING THIS! Girl, Quit Dieting! I developed a program to focus on TRUE change & transformation. With the Girl, Quit Dieting program, you can create a battleplan to completely change your life & the ups and downs of dieting.  If you identify with today's episode, & you struggle with dieting, restricting, plus all the other forms of food & weight control, then girl, I have the best news for your new year! Instead of doing the same things leaving you with the same results, my program will help you let go of all the "diet culture" junk, so that you can start healing your relationship with yourself & food. You will learn intuitive eating skills, healthy coping methods, holistic & sustainable strategies to have you living life in a body you love, while eating all the food you enjoy. This program will help you heal from years of the destructive cycles & provide another way OUT from the chains of restriction & over eating. You can register for the program & learn more details, by subscribing to receive email communications at my website: www.lindseynichol.com.

Do you find yourself using the, "I don't have time to eat" excuse? How about, "I'll eat something later"? Yet, you clearly have zero intent to do so...& just maybe you wind up binging later from the all day restrictive patterns. If you are using "busy" as a way to control your food intake then this episode is a MUST listen! It's no secret that the disordered mind will pull out all the tricks to keep us stuck in unhealthy behaviors. I want to help you get to the root of this problem so that you can face it head on. I want to help you to stop choosing busy & start choosing YOU & food freedom. Maybe, you don't even realize that you are using the "too busy" excuse as an avoidance mechanism to not eat. In today's episode, I share with you what the "busy diet" is & how you can stop the hustle of being busy as a way to manipulate & restrict. In fact friend, after this episode you will be clear on what to do next to STOP the self sabotage right NOW! If you are not too busy for an Instagram scroll or your favorite Netflix series, then you clearly are not too busy to nourish your body the way it deserves. Having an ED isn't a choice. However, choosing to be busy instead of choosing to sit with your feelings and current circumstance is a choice. & even if you truly are busy, eating is not optional.

In today's episode, I share with you the POWER of your words. If you are like most women, you have heard that the power of words can be critical when it comes to how you view your body, life, relationships, etc. I created this podcast because I fully believe how the power of your words & thoughts lead to your ultimate identity...which is the number one reason why you may be stuck in disordered eating patterns. Ask yourself: What are you affirming? What words are you giving power too? Reality is: You are creating your life from the words that you speak RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT. & yes, you can indeed be FREE from your eating disorder & heal your life with through the impact of your words. So, if you are constantly saying to yourself that you "can't gain weight", "can't have carbs", & "will never escape this nightmare". Then the truth is...you probably NEVER will. Girl, what are you saying to yourself? Are you showing compassion through your words today? Your words hold SO MUCH power! In order to change your life, you MUST change the way you speak to yourself. Speak to yourself like you would speak to your best friend.  I hope this episode pushes you to apply CHANGE in your life today! You can use these incredible FAITH-led & Bible derived affirmations to create positive behaviors.  The future is never certain, but what is certain is words have power of life or death. How can you expect to have peace with food & experience freedom from disordered eating patterns if the words you speak contradict the future you dream of? Don't spend your entire life limiting your own potential because of the words you speak. You can make a commitment today to quit negative self-talk.  If today's message resonates with you, send me & my team an email at info@lindseynichol.com.

The TRUTH is....roughly 30 million Americans suffer with an eating disorder (& that's just Americans!)  It can be devastating to realize that someone so very close to you is hurting & struggling with their food & body relationship.  I spent years of my life in denial that my eating disorder consumed my entire identity. And maybe, your loved one is doing the same right now! The good news sweet friend.....my mom saved my life. It's because of her I am still standing today to share these 5 ways that I truly believe are the BEST ways to support a loved one with an eating disorder.  In today's episode, I share real past experiences of my own, in hopes that this can help you support someone close to your heart.

The #1 reason you are stuck in unhealthy habits with food is because..... you have BLACK & WHITE thinking! Yes, friend. You live in an all-or-nothing mindset. This way of thinking (whether you believe it or not), leaves you in a never good enough cycle of shame, control, Eating disorder behaviors & it's a personal NIGHTMARE! I've been right where you are....some days feeling in ultimate control of my life & my food intake, while other days spiraling into paralyzed fear that led me wanting to give up on everything.  The good news is, you can experience a life FREE from food thoughts and that little voice inside of your head keeping you from experiencing your most healthiest self.  Psychologists consider absolute thinking to be a cognitive distortion because this mindset keeps you from experiencing TRUE reality. So how can you change this way of thinking? How can you break free? In this episode, I break down the good, bad & ugly of black & white thinking, what it does to you, & how you can completely pivot your future from looking like your past.  Recovery from disordered eating isn't black & white. Living a life of food control & jumping from diet to diet will leave you exhausted, depleted & even more depressed than you were before you experienced restriction, binging, starving & etc. You can kick food rules to the curb & you can learn to live life in the GRAY! I hope this episode blesses you or someone you love. with love & purpose, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ Connect with Me -＞ info@lindseynichol.com ______ Join the HBS Society -＞ www.facebook.com/groups/herbestselfsociety/ ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?
