Hey, I’m Tara. A wife, a mother, a fitness professional and a recovered obsessor of diet and exercise. For over 15 years, I struggled to reach my goal weight by using exercise and food restriction to get there.
I tried all the diets, exercised until my body would give out and spent more money than I want to admit on the next best diet.

I have been able to find a healthy lifestyle that works for me. A simple routine & handful of simple habits that I can be consistent with and have time for. A way of eating that I can enjoy life, without hopping into the next diet craze, exercising for my body to feel good and experiencing Jesus in a whole new way! And I’m ready to share it with you!

253. Faith Filled Friday: 5 Steps to Overcoming Your Fears of No More Diets

251. Fit Tip Friday - Food FOMO? 3 Signs You May Have Special Occasion Syndrome
Do you "fall off the wagon" when the holidays arrive? Do you give yourself permission to eat whatever you desire during life's special events?
Do you "start over on Monday" after indulging in two slices of wedding cake over the weekend?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be adhering to a social norm that contradicts the concept of food freedom. This pattern of behavior can prevent you from achieving true liberation from food-related stress, making you feel obligated to partake simply because it's a special occasion.
Life brims with special events, occasions, and foods. Rather than approaching them with trepidation, fearing a loss of control, consider preparing for these events with the proper mindset and mindfulness.
If we succumb to "falling off the wagon" consistently, we'll never attain the freedom to savor life's pleasures without the subsequent guilt and shame.
I'm eager to learn about your progress in this journey; feel free to reach out to me at taraj@dietditching.com.
