Taking a Victory Lap
Welcome to the Dear Food Podcast, hosted by Julia Fikse. In this episode, we celebrate victories on our journey to health, joy, and food freedom. Victories are worth celebrating, no matter how big or small they may seem. They remind us of what we've accomplished and encourage us to keep moving forward. Let's dive into the inspiring stories and practical tips that will help us take victory laps along the way.
Julia opens the episode by inviting listeners to share their victories in their journey to health, joy, and food freedom. She emphasizes that the Lord is gracious and compassionate, always ready to help us. Julia shares a victory from a reader who decided to explore what the Bible has to say about healthy living. This reader's commitment to incorporating God's word into their food journey is a remarkable step towards finding true freedom.
Julia then shares a story about her friend who quilts and takes a "Victory Lap" after completing each step in the quilting process. This practice of celebrating progress before reaching the final goal teaches us an important lesson: we don't have to wait until we've achieved everything to experience joy and celebrate. By acknowledging and appreciating each step along the way, we can cultivate joy and use it as fuel to keep moving forward.
Julia introduces the concept of Victory Lap journal pages, which are included in the Dear Food I Love You I Hate You Don't Leave Me workbooks. She explains the importance of recording victories and provides a step-by-step guide to help listeners document their own victories. By writing down their successes, feelings, reasons for success, and lessons learned, individuals can create a tangible record of their progress and draw inspiration from it.
Julia concludes the episode by encouraging listeners to take time to celebrate their wins and give glory to God. She suggests getting a binder for Victory Journal pages to see the growth achieved over time. Julia reminds everyone that they are beautiful, their health goals are important, and that Jesus loves and wants to help them on their journey to food freedom. She expresses gratitude for the listeners' presence and invites them to share positive reviews of the Dear Food workbooks, which can make a significant impact on someone's life.
Celebrating victories along the journey to food freedom is essential for maintaining motivation and fostering joy. By recognizing and recording our wins, no matter how small, we can build confidence, resilience, and a sense of accomplishment. Taking Victory Laps allows us to appreciate the progress we've made and serves as a reminder that we are capable of achieving our goals. With the support of the Dear Food community and the love of God, we can continue on our path to health, wellness, and food freedom.
