"THANk YOU FOR THE HELP PLANNING FOR MY TRIP!"

I ended up driving for about have the trip and did not snack on pretzels or gummy bears. I brought two small bags of berries and walnuts, which would have been my regular snacks for the day. I felt so much better when we arrived. I am now focusing on my plan for restaurant eating for the day.

"I FEEL LIKE THE HOLY SPIRIT REVEALED TO ME..."

that I need to eat smaller more frequent meals rather than eating a larger dinner. It seems obvious now, but this is a big win for me! Also I started working out at the gym and did everything I planned to do yesterday! I am so happy!

"I can't believe how MUch These Teaching are Just so...Key"

"Survived two Christmas parties this weekend..."

where my chaos foods (cookies, chocolate) were ALL OVER the place. Multiple times I thought about eating them. What would it hurt, after all? Then I thought about the regret I would feel the next morning or even later that night; I also thought about how long the pleasure feeling would last; and then I thought about my goals. I’m so glad I didn’t give in!”

- Rose

"This has been a life altering experience.”"

I have, through Denise’s example come to rely more on God and less on food. I have begun to feel that I am important enough to eat well. I have learned to be calm in the face of difficulties in life. These changes have trickled down to my family who all are proud of me for looking after myself and they are benefitting from the wisdom of Denise and the program too.”

FAQs

What exactly does the challenge look like?

The daily practices in this challenge have been carefully chosen because they not only lead to lasting weight loss, but are spiritual disciplines and acts of surrender.

Each day, we will:

1. Say the Surrender Novena

2. Plan all meals and snacks and surrender (write down) any changes your make (before taking the first bite).

3. Connect with God in the morning & evening

Plus, I’m going to teach you how to:

1. Make a weekly plan so you know when and where you’re going to indulge each week

2. Make a holiday event plan so you feel confident in your choices for every event.

And how to make this whole process easier by:

Creating a safe eating plan
Creating “go to” meals
Identifying your chaos foods

How much time does it take?

We’ll prep together by watching a few short videos (less than 1 hour total) and going through the short workbook.

After that, you will attend or watch the replay of the group coaching call (60 min) and attend an optional live check in (30 min)

Daily, each task of the challenge takes approximately:

Surrender novena – 3 min
Plan Meals and snacks – 10 min
Connect with God in morning and evening (using the prompts) 15 min. Total
30 min. of exercise – 30 min. (optional)

Then each week, we’ll make a weekly plan and protocols for any events coming up (20-30 mins)

What is group coaching and do I have to participate?

Group coaching is where you will bring all your questions, struggles, and challenges and ask Denise, your coach.

She will help you overcome your obstacles with easy to implement suggestions or with a simple brain reset.

You do not have to participate. Many women get transformations by simply listening to others get coached or to the replay.

What will I eat?

There are no off-limit foods during this challenge. The only rules are to plan foods you love to eat, that make you feel good and fit into your life.

Some women choose to not include foods they have identified as chaos foods (foods that cause intense cravings) on their daily plan during this challenge.

Each day, you will make an easy to stick to meal plan made up of the foods you enjoy. There is no special meal plan – just what works best for you.

If you need to make a change, during this challenge, you will “surrender it” by simply writing down the change before your first bite.

What if I can't exercise?

Exercise for this challenge is optional.

What are the benefits of doing this as a group? Can’t I just do this on my own?

Yes, of course you can. But, with a group…

When you lose motivation (which WILL happen), you will get regain your desire within the day (rather than losing a week)

Meet Your Coach

It's time for healing.

I’m Denise Jelinek and I’m a Catholic weight loss coach. I have helped so many women lose weight eating the foods they like without feeling deprived.

I was a closet binge-eater for many years and it was so painful. I was filled with shame. I knew I had a blessed life so I didn’t understand why I was raiding the pantry like a raccoon at night when no one was looking.

I went on a journey to stop dieting and to truly find peace around food permanently. I learned how to do exactly that and now it’s my great honor to teach other Catholic women to do the same thing.

Join this challenge and I’ll show you how your heart deeply desires the Lord and He will give you everything you need to have peace around food.
