We’re Not a Chicken…

Yesterday’s episode of Enjoying Everyday Life featured Dr. Linda Mintle, who wrote the book, Making Peace With Your Thighs: Get Off the Scales and Get On with Your Life. Dr. Mintle offered a lot of great information, including the following quotes, as she discussed body image and weight loss with Joyce Meyer:

“We’re not a chicken, we’re not a leg, we’re not a breast”. The culture divides us into parts and go through our anatomy piece by piece to tell us we don’t measure up to the ideal.

“The culture says you’re broken and your body needs to be fixed. The only person that had a broken body is Jesus and he provided the fix for us”.

“We’re not broken, we may need to (live healthier), but we’re not broken”.
