How to Be an Intuitive Eater on Vacation

How to Be an Intuitive Eater on Vacation

Author: Heather Creekmore - Christian Body Image Author and Speaker July 22, 2025 Duration: 41:12

Intuitive eating on vacation is trickier than you think, especially if you're used to dieting before vacation and then going "hog wild" while you're off your plan and on holiday. This episode is a live coaching call between Heather and her intuitive eating coaches--Char Lee Cassel and Erin Todd of the Intuitive Eating for Christian Women podcast. Char Lee and Erin talk to Heather about how vacation triggers certain habits. They talk about relating to family members that you see on vacation and how certain body image flare ups may happen while with your family of origin. If you've got a summer vacation planned or are just returning from one, this episode may help you figure out what happened or help you plan ahead so you can maintain peace with food and your body, even while you're on holiday.

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.
