Stop Weighting, Start Living Jacqueline Shaulis

Health is not a dress size. It's a relationship with your body built on love, honor, and respect through Christ Jesus. This book is not meant to be a panacea for the world of woes that plague us chunky chicas, thick chicks, fluffy femmes, and curvy girls. Rather, it's intended as a guide for making healthy, Godly choices to love the body you have been graced with. This book is about learning to love and respect the temple of God's spirit that you are (1 Corinthians 6:19) while still meeting deadlines, chasing pets and kids, doing laundry, and being awesome (as one does). This is not a "lose weight quick" guide. In fact, it's not about losing weight at all. It's about treating yourself (and your body) with the honor, love, gratitude, and respect you deserve for who you are and whose you are (Isaiah 41:9-10). Through trial and error, I came to see my beautiful temple as a beacon for any woman who has struggled with her self worth because of her weight, shape, or size. Hear me now my sister: you are not your body. You are the embodiment of the divine JUST AS YOU ARE (1 Peter 2:9). This is for you, Beautiful.
