Are You Waiting for Weight Loss? New Lent Series

Are You Waiting for Weight Loss? New Lent Series

Author: Heather Creekmore - Christian Body Image Author and Speaker February 17, 2026 Duration: 16:38

Today marks the exciting launch of our Lenten series, "Waiting for Weight Loss." This six-week-long journey is designed to reorient your heart towards what’s truly important while acknowledging your goals for body change—whether that’s weight loss, looking younger, or any other transformation you’ve been hoping for or working toward.

Throughout Lent, you'll get 20 short, practical podcast episodes—three each week—full of encouragement, strategy, daily prayers, and honest conversations about body image, food, and faith. Today, Heather shares her own experience, inviting listeners to consider the difference between healthy goals and making body change an idol. If you’ve been obsessing over jeans that don’t fit or other physical goals, you’ll find hope and help here.

**Join the Waiting for Weight Loss Community!**
For the first time, we’ve created a private, secure community (not on social media) where you can connect, ask questions, discuss episode topics, and find resources. To join, simply visit Waitingforweightloss.com and drop your email in the form and you'll get instructions on how to join.

Topics this season will include:

- How to keep your goals grounded
- Why God gave us bodies
- Discipline as a servant, not a savior
- What scripture really says about body size and transformation
- How to rightly order the desire for change

This is your opportunity to walk the journey with others who get it. Invite a friend, bring your questions, and join a supportive space focused on wholehearted health (body, soul, and spirit), keeping Jesus—not weight loss—as your primary hope.

**Don’t forget**: Whether you’re new to Lent or just want a 40-day journey for your heart before Easter, sign up for our private community at waitingforweightloss.com ! Let’s start a conversation, support one another, and find true freedom together.

Tune in tomorrow for Day 1 of this transformative series—and invite someone you love to join!

Heather Creekmore, a Christian body image author and speaker, hosts Compared to Who? Body Image for Christian Women. This space is for women who are exhausted by the constant pressure to measure up, whether it's to cultural ideals of beauty, fitness goals, or even spiritual performance. It’s common to know scripture about your worth in Christ yet feel a disconnect when you look in the mirror or navigate daily life. This podcast directly addresses that gap, moving beyond simplistic self-help or well-meaning clichés that often leave you feeling more defeated. Instead, conversations are grounded in a thoughtful blend of faith, mental health, and practical wellness. You’ll hear honest discussions about how spirituality intersects with the very real struggles of body image, diet culture, and personal comparison. Each episode aims to provide not just encouragement but tangible steps to help you live out your God-given identity with freedom and confidence. The goal is a stronger, more integrated faith that transforms how you see yourself, not by the world’s ever-changing standards, but through a lens of grace and truth. Tune in for a candid and compassionate resource that meets you right where you are.
