Are you exhausted, hoping for the next miracle plan to finally work? In this episode, Heather Creekmore gets real about the emotional toll of constantly chasing weight loss, sharing personal stories about everything from Special K diets to cottage cheese pizza and the roller coaster of hope and disappointment.

Heather Creekmore discusses:

  • The overwhelming pressure brought on by social media and the constant marketing of new supplements and gadgets

  • How the pursuit of “fixing” your body can feel like a never-ending DIY project

  • The impact of aging on body image expectations and responsibilities, especially for women

  • The spiritual aspect of exhaustion, questioning whether the battle has taken too much from us and reminding listeners that our identity and value are found in Christ—not in achieving a specific body goal

  • Biblical insight on rest, referencing Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:28-30, and the invitation to find a refreshing, restorative break instead of a relentless treadmill

  • How pursuing goals from a place of rest (rather than stress and striving) could transform your weight loss journey
