6 Strategies to Combat Body Shame
You can claim the Peace and rest you are meant to have in your own skin.
When an emotion runs close to the surface, we can be quick to speak and engage in conversation. But when an emotion runs deep. . . at the mention, coiling in and keeping it close, is much more appealing.
Body shame is not a topic we tend to volunteer to be the first to speak.
But you want to know.
We may be listening, but don’t dare look at the person talking about it. It might reveal our eagerness to hear that we are not the only one who suffers.
So when the loudest voice, was pretty much crickets in response to my newsletter that linked to an interview about Body Shame, I didn’t take that as disinterest. I interpreted it as a silent, leaning-in-closer response.
Because if you are a woman, you can relate to feelings of body shame.
But you may have been left wondering, what can I do about it?

New Subscription Options Coming This Week
A big, big thank you to Sandy, Jody, Anna, and Karen who have pledged to support the Contented Table. As you know, this ministry is free for you to read and listen to but not free to produce. Paid subscriptions allow this space to remain ad-free for you and allow me to continue to dedicate time away from my profession to help bring Peace to your table and rest to your spirit.
Starting this week you will have the option to support this ministry by changing your subscription to paid. At $7/month, it is the best deal in town to access a long-serving Christian Dietitian’s perspective. For the time being, all content will remain in your free subscription. I trust I will know the right time to divide content for paid subscribers only.
If you would like to support the Contented Table differently, I have enabled the option to buy a coffee as we pull up a chair to the Contented Table.
An invaluable contribution you can make to The Contented Table is prayer. That women’s bodies and souls will be nourished through the words found here. It is my heart’s desire.
Thank you for pulling up a chair. I’m leaning in and I’m listening.
A gentle reminder,
God wants you to know,
He sees you, He hears you, He loves you,
Jane
