Day 3: Embracing YOUR Preferences

Has anyone ever asked what you want? What you like to eat? Afterall, you’re the one who has to eat it! 🤯

Diets often act like your preferences don’t matter. They try to box you into someone else’s plan, as if you’re just a number on a spreadsheet. But here’s the truth:

You are uniquely designed by God—on purpose.

Your personality, strengths, and even your food preferences are all part of His intentional creation. Trying to force yourself into someone else’s ideal is like letting your mother-in-law plan your wedding—it’s just not going to work!

Imagine this:

• An introvert is forced to go out every night.
• A bookworm is made to watch movies before bed.
• A pizza lover is told to eat steamed fish every Friday. 

Eventually, that person’s inner toddler is going to have a full-on meltdown in the cereal aisle! 😭😭😭

But here’s the good news: knowing and embracing your preferences is key to finding food freedom, and it’s valuable to recognize what doesn’t work for you.
