Eating Disorder Recovery for Christian Moms | Faith, Triggers, Intuitive Eating, Comparison, Anorexia Nervosa, SAHM
Are you scared out of your mind to gain weight? Do you feel trapped in a cycle of restricting, then eating whatever you want—swinging between control and chaos? Does recovery feel lonely, hopeless, or out of reach? And on the days you do believe food freedom is possible, are you consumed with too much information? Or the idea - nobody will understand your situation?
Hi, I’m Andrea. I spent over 20 years stuck in that same exhausting loop—obsessing over food, exercise, and my body because I was desperate to be good enough. I chased perfection, constantly comparing myself to others, believing my worth depended on how I looked and what I achieved. An eating disorder and toxic body image stole my joy, my peace, and my purpose. But Jesus never left my side. He fought for me when I couldn’t fight for myself and led me to freedom I didn’t think was possible.
Now I’m here to help you find that same freedom.
This is Eating Disorder Recovery for Christian Moms, where we learn to obsess over Jesus—not calories, workouts, or the scale. Each week, we’ll focus on faith-based mindset shifts, real-life tools, and honest conversations that will help you heal your relationship with food, your body, and your heart.
Together, we’ll reclaim your self-worth and realign with your true identity in Christ. When you are well, your God-given gifts can shine fully into the world.
The world needs your light. ✨
Shine on, friend. Let’s do this!

At 14 years old, I stepped on the scale and saw I had lost 10 pounds.
I felt proud. Excited. Energized.
And my very first thought was:“How much more can I lose?”
That moment revealed something I didn’t understand at the time — no number was ever going to be enough.
In this episode, we’re talking about the exhausting question that fuels restriction: Am I enough?
You’ll learn:• Why striving keeps you stuck• Why restriction can’t answer a soul-level question• Why the longing to feel enough goes deeper than your body• And how grace frees you from proving yourself
You don’t have to be enough. Christ already is.

Eating disorder recovery isn’t just about food — it’s about what’s underneath it.
In this episode, I’m talking about the loneliness and depression that often hide beneath eating disorder behaviors, and why trying to heal alone keeps you stuck. I share a personal story from middle school that shaped how isolation and disordered eating became intertwined for me, and we unpack why emotional pain must be addressed for real healing to happen.
We’ll talk about:
the loneliness-depression cycle
why support isn’t weakness
and one simple question to ask yourself when food isn’t the real issue.
You were never meant to carry this alone.

If diet culture feels louder now than ever, you’re not failing—you’re changing.
In this episode, we’re unpacking why:
diet culture screams the loudest at the beginning of recovery
why fear clings to the familiar even when it’s harmful
and how what you consume shapes what you believe.
I’m also sharing three simple, faith-centered ways to guard your heart, quiet the noise, and regain peace without avoiding the world or isolating yourself.

Triggers can hit when you’re already exhausted—surrounded by food, pressure, or memories that make restriction feel like the “safe” choice.
In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story from a moment when fear quietly took over my decisions, disguising itself as control. We’ll talk about why restriction isn’t strength, how surrender is an active choice (not giving up), and how faith gives you a new decision-maker when fear is loud.
If triggers leave you mentally drained and stuck in restriction, this episode will help you pause, name fear for what it is, and choose faith instead.

I used to be afraid to be seen—until God reminded me this was never about me being visible, but about Him.

You’ll learn how conversation builds relationship, how relationship builds trust, and how obedience becomes the foundation for real accountability in recovery.
If you’ve been listening to your eating disorder louder than God’s voice, this episode will help you reset your focus and remember who your true Lord is.

Comparison is sneaky — and exhausting.
Online, in person, in the mirror… it’s so easy to measure ourselves against other women and come up feeling “less than.”
For years, I judged my worth by how my body looked — especially the flatness of my stomach. That constant self-criticism drained the life out of me. And it wasn’t until I began trusting God more deeply that comparison slowly loosened its grip.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to silence the critical, comparing voice by shifting your focus back to God’s truth.
You’ll learn:
The powerful question that humbles comparison instantly
Why doubting yourself is often rooted in doubting the Creator
How Jeremiah 1:5 reframes your worth and purpose
Why reading your Bible — even for five minutes — builds trust and restores joy
If comparison has been robbing your peace, confidence, or gratitude, this episode will help you step out of self-criticism and into truth.
God didn’t make a mistake when He made you — and it’s time you start living like that’s true.

I remember when working out felt non-negotiable — something I had to do to earn my food or feel okay in my body. Exercise wasn’t joyful. It was compulsive. And just like my relationship with food, it needed healing.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about exercise addiction and why true accountability in recovery isn’t about quitting workouts — it’s about tracking your mindset, not just your movement.
You’ll learn:
Why asking “Why am I doing this workout?” changes everything
How to shift your motivation away from calorie burning and control
What sustainable exercise actually looks like in recovery
Why accountability starts now, not “later when I’m healthier”
If exercise still feels sneaky, rigid, or emotionally loaded, this episode will help you approach movement with honesty, awareness, and freedom — without throwing it all away.
Healing doesn’t mean stopping your life.
It means learning how to show up differently.
XOXO
