“Jesus,
... take care of
everything"
— The Surrender Novena
we're Giving up the scale
for Lent.
This is a radically different Lenten fast.
We’re giving up all that tracking, weighing, measuring, counting, and self-shaming.
It wasn’t working, anyway.
It’s time for something new. Something completely different than you’ve ever tried before:
...surrendering everything to HIM
...for 63 days.
He Hears Your Prayers.
He knows your heart.
He sees your struggle.
He knows you are exhausted from:
- Mustering up the motivation to start another diet… only to lose steam.
- White-knuckling through rigid plans… only to feel like a failure when you can’t keep up.
- Carrying the weight of shame and guilt… feeling like you’ll never break free.
He wants to release you from this burden and heal you—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
This challenge will take you through Lent and beyond on a transformative and lasting journey of healing.
if You've been crying out for help to stop:
- The cycle of overeating, guilt and defeat
- The endless battle with your weight
- The fight against temptation and cravings
63 Surrendered is the answer to your prayers!
This is not another diet, another restrictive meal plan, or another weight loss challenge that sets you up for failure.
There is NO:
- White-knuckling through hunger and cravings
- Strict food plan that leaves you feeling deprived
- Way to fail or "do this wrong"
This 63-day challenge for Catholic women is for You IF...
- You've been praying for an answer, and you feel God calling you to this.
- You've tried to lose weight for years but are tired of diets, counting points, and tracking every bite.
- You long to deepen your faith and grow in reliance on God.
- You desire freedom from feeling controlled by food and want to break free from the cycle of shame and guilt.
- You want to enjoy normal foods you love and reach your healthy weight without stress or restriction.
THIS CHALLENGE IS NOT FOR YOU IF… you’re just looking for a strict diet plan to follow or if you’re not ready to surrender your struggles with food and weight to the Lord.
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9
It's time to
Surrender
Have you been trying to lose weight, yet feel like nothing’s changing?
Know that…
He sees your struggle… He sees you, loves you, and is always with you. He’s never going to leave you, no matter where you are in your journey. When you’re ready, let Him show you a new way. The way HE created for you to live and eat…
- A way to live and eat with peace
- A way to savor food with true enjoyment and without the guilt
- way to walk this journey with Him
You don’t have to know if it will work; you just have to trust that this is a method that can’t fail when you surrender it to Him.
The 63 Surrendered Challenge offers:
Clear Steps
A powerful workbook, tracker, and optional app to guide you through what you need each day for surrender and weight loss.
Live Support
Weekly weight loss group coaching calls to get personalized coaching to help you with your specific food journey.
Community Support
One of the hardest things about the deep shame we feel about our weight is not having someone to talk to about it. Community encouragement is so powerful!
Support for Real Life Challenges
Weight loss is never just about what you eat. It is connected to every aspect of our life. Get support for your whole life: faith, motherhood, marriage, self-worth, and so much more.
63 Surrendered is the answer.
Through 4 daily spiritual disciplines,
you learn to surrender.
Surrender is a simple, yet powerful KEY
to letting the Lord work HIS miracles and give you the grace to access HIS strength.
After 63 days, this is what women are saying:
"The Missing Link"
It is not a diet program. This was the missing link to heal my unhealthy attachment to food.
- Katie
"I am Free from food obesssion"
I am free! I am free from sugar addiction. I am free from food obsession. I am free from thinking about what, when and where to eat.
- Therese
"i am a strong woman of faith"
Food is just that – food. It is no longer my comfort, my best friend, my stress reliever, my depression fixer. It’s just food. The daily Surrender Novena, as an addition to my other prayers, has helped me to realize the strength of my Catholic faith. It has always been there but was overshadowed by obsession with food – my brain had been hijacked. I now know that I am a strong woman of faith who trusts Jesus to take care of everything.
- Mary
"What a relief it is"
I wish all of you could know, what a relief it is:
-not to always eat different food than my husband and children,
-not to fight with my husband to get rid of all sweet of my house,
-not to work harder to prepare food that I didn’t like, to try to have results that didn’t happen.
It is so much peace and relief for my soul, and so much peaceful for my family.
Thank you lord Jesus to TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING (my body, my food, my brain and my soul).
-Christy
"IT's WOrking"
I have been doing my daily surrender prayer and meal tracking/daily connecting with God faithfully. I actually enjoy it and it’s working!! In 5 weeks, 13 pounds!
- Anne
"easy to stick to"
I found peace right away! I daily made my easy to stick to meal plan and found it easy to stick to!
- Joan
"I am down 7 lbs since day 1"
I am down 7 lbs since day 1. But it hasn’t really been about the weight, that’s the side result. The emotional weight is being lifted and I find myself emerging in light as God’s beloved. I feel His care and concern and my in turn action is to feel the being satisfied with just what is. From the bottom of my heart thank you for being the spoke piece to share God’s love for all of us.
- Patty
"I am seeing the light"
The past three weeks on this program have been the best ever! I feel true joy in my life now because I’m free to stop thinking about what I should and shouldn’t be eating. I feel like I was living life with dark sunglasses on and now I am seeing the light.
- Cheryl
"actually stuck with this"
I have actually stuck with this! I am changing habits, learning to change my brain, experiment and I don’t have to be in a hurry. There is no way I can do it wrong.
- Rose
"the surrender prayer is so powerful"
The idea that I get to eat the foods that I like and that I feel good about (and not focus on foods I “should” eat- unless of course I like them) was a key moment for me. The surrender prayer is so powerful!
- Sarah
These are women just like you—once stuck, lost, and frustrated with their weight loss struggles.
Without 63 Surrendered,they said they would still be searching for answers, trapped in yo-yo dieting, battling binge eating, and feeling miserable.
Instead, they’ve found peace through surrender and are finally losing the weight for good!
FAQs
Yes it is! But how often does Lent end and then suddenly we find ourselves going straignt back to our old ways of thinking and acting? This challenge will offer continued support in the weeks after Easter for healing that lasts beyond the Lenten season.
If you are unsure if 63 Surrendered is right for you in this season of your life, here’s what our 63 Surrendered Graduates want you to KNOW:
“If you feel drawn to WLHS, there is a reason – pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit – he was given to us by the Father through Jesus to live within us and to help us.
“If you are a woman of faith, do the challenge. It not only helps surrender weight loss but also helps surrender all the stress in life that causes us to eat. My son is going through a divorce, which breaks my heart although I understand why. I surrender this experience too which I can’t control. This helps my stress over this situation”
“It is not a diet program. This was the missing link to heal my unhealthy attachment to food.”
“You are worth it. Let God love you in this way. You will learn so much about yourself, and about God’s care for you, and about how to care for yourself.”
“Do it when you are truly ready to submit yourself to the will of the HS. Well actually, even if you’re not ready just jump in and let the Holy Spirit will work in you anyway!”
Each day, we will:
1. Say the Surrender Novena
2. Plan all meals and snacks
- Surrendering all changes (We’ll teach you how to do this.)
- Surrender “chaos foods” and use a “safe eating plan.”
Chaos foods are foods that create chaos in your life. A “safe eating plan” is a way to eat that keeps you in God’s will while eating. We’ll help you uncover your chaos foods.
3. Connect with God in the morning & evening
During the first week, you will say the surrender novena (3 min), find you chaos foods (20 min), create a safe eating plan (25 min), and attend live or watch the replay of the Prep Week Coaching Call (60 min.)
After that, each week, 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
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.
You will eat the foods you love that you feel good about eating.
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.
Daily exercise is an optional part of this challenge. Exercise for this challenge is defined as some form of physical movement (from joint mobility exercises and stretching to high intensity interval training or strength training) that is meant to improve the physical condition or fitness of your body.
There is always a form of exercise /physical movement that is possible as long as you are not on bed rest.
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)
- Have fun glorifying the Lord with other Catholic Women
- Be inspired by other women’s stories
- Stop feeling alone and make new friends!
PLUS…you get:
- Access to The App

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.
