Summary
I thought my body was gross. I thought God didn't give me a good one. God changed my perspective. Now that insecurity has become fierce respect for this wonder God has given me.
Now I'm convinced that we as women are jewels. Our bodies are of the highest value. And we should not put our jewels before swine. Your body should be adored by someone who deserves it. By someone who serves you, respects you and makes you feel worth it. Your husband (though he himself is a work in progress) is the only one who fits the bill.
Tips:
- Assume the attraction is there.
- Practice affirmations. I do this with my clients and this is one of the most effective strategies.
- Spend time journaling rather than eating. Eating allows us to numb ourselves from the difficulties of life. We stuff ourselves with food so we don't feel.
- You are not being cocky by telling yourself you're gorgeous. Your body is God's work of art. He gets the credit. God made you beautiful. When you get compliments, receive it and give the glory to God in your heart. You don't have to let that puff you up in pride, you can give that to God.
- It is a discipline to have confidence. And it takes discipline to get there.
- Write through the hard times, rather than stuff the hard time with food which make the enemy distract you from life and God's voice.
Resources: Women Food and God (Though not a Christian book, amazing principles that we can apply through a godly lense can be gleened.)

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Delight Your Marriage podcast, the show where you hear from amazing and inspiring |
| 0:08.1 | wives sharing their struggles, triumphs, and advice for this journey called marriage. Here's your |
| 0:14.3 | host, Bella Rose. All right, welcome back. I am excited to have you. Now, if you are just jumping into the body series, |
| 0:26.4 | exciting stuff, I would encourage you to go back to last week's episode, the first series. In fact, |
| 0:33.7 | regardless of where you are, I encourage you to go back and listen to the entire series. |
| 0:39.8 | I'm going to go through kind of point by point, a cohesive structure. |
| 0:46.9 | So I encourage you to just go through it the way that it's presented on the podcast. |
| 0:51.5 | So this one is about knowing your worth and understanding the way God set up your |
| 0:57.6 | body in the way that men are wired as well. So I think this is really important in an interesting |
| 1:06.7 | way. The way that I figured out that my body was valuable was by understanding a man's mind. |
| 1:18.4 | So that's actually the big premise behind Delight Your Husband is to understand a man's mind. |
| 1:24.0 | And that's practical, you know, explicit directions, but also practical understandings of a man's mind. |
| 1:30.2 | For me, I had to go through that process before I could get to a place of like, wow, my body's |
| 1:38.5 | awesome. Because as I talked about last week, I thought my body was gross. I thought God just didn't give me a good one. |
| 1:50.2 | I was like, what the heck? All these other women are beautiful with these tiny waist and these |
| 1:55.6 | amazing boobs and bud and, you know, these skinny legs. And I just had this like warped view of what I thought was |
| 2:02.9 | beautiful. And yet, turns out, God did it on purpose. And what I learned was that my body is |
| 2:12.8 | unbelievably attractive to men. I had no idea. None. I thought it was gross. And so when I started to learn |
| 2:25.7 | that men are attracted to the female form to the degree that they are, I began to change my perspectives. |
| 2:36.9 | See, I think that women are so insecure that they start getting attention from men and they just go into that. |
| 2:46.1 | That's why there's so much immodesty. |
| 2:47.9 | I truly believe is because we don't know how attractive we really are. |
