Joyful Eating!
Learn all about how to live with a joyful, peaceful relationship with food and eating!
Our class runs from March 9 through April 27th, 2023
We meet on Thursdays at 3:30pm Pacific Time
Experience peace with food, eating and your body!
In the bible, God tells us to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:1)"
What does that mean?
Hi!
We are Thin Within coaches, Heidi Bylsma-Epperson and Christina Motley.
Join us on a journey of the heart, mind, and body for 8 weeks starting the week of March 9, 2023.
If you are a woman of faith and know that diets aren't cutting it,
if you want to shed some of the extra weight that is on your body without fussing about food,
if you want to be at peace with food instead of feeling owned by it,
then grab a seat in our coaching class, studying Thin Within's (.org) Fresh Wind, Fresh Desire.
This is a refreshing, biblical look at the strongholds that master us and affect our eating.
We will draw closer to the One Who alone can show us the path to freedom and peace!

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind
lIn the Bible our God has told us a lot about the role our mind plays in what we choose to do. We want to think God's thoughts after Him and, in this way, experience the "Mind of Christ" that the Apostle Paul promises is ours in 1 Corinthians 2:16. In our Thin Within: Fresh Wind, Fresh Desire coaching class, we teach the tools and strategies to do this very thing. As we learn and practice, we will begin to think differently, our desires will change and our actions will follow!
New behaviors bring new patterns which will bring new results!
This is not psychology!
This is a biblical, grace-based, non-diet approach to peace with food, eating and your body.

Testimonials
I think the biggest thing for me is the God list and getting to know God in a different way than how I have always believed him to be.
...the workbook is phenomenal. I'm so excited about having this tool in my hand. It is just solid.
The benefit of community has been huge. I always think I can do all this on my own. And I could, but I don't.

What Participants Say
Fresh Wind, Fresh Desire changed my focus to pursuing God in all areas in my life, rather than just concentrating on changing my eating and my body. The curriculum is engaging and thought provoking, and I often go back to it. I loved the intimacy of the smaller group and learned so much from the coaches and other participants.
June Hoover
Coaching Group Participant
When we eat 0-5, we save a lot of money!! I’m so thankful that I could take a vacation that did not revolve around food. Instead, I was able to work on daily surrender to God. Was I perfect? Nope. But that isn’t what my journey is about. It’s about walking with the Lord in expectation of what He will do in and through me.
Carol Scott
Coaching Group Participant
Being in a Thin Within coaching group helped in every way relating to my TW journey, relationship with God, being accountable, offering support to others on the way, and was a wonderful community experience. You just have to jump in and experience it!! You’ll be glad you did. Guaranteed!!
Teresa Horn
Coaching Group Participant
Eating "just enough" of wonderful, "normal" foods when physically hungry, we release extra weight on our bodies.

Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
We know that you may still have questions. Here, we try to answer the most frequently asked questions.
How many people will be at the Zoom calls?
It depends on how many people sign up and carve time out to come LIVE. We do record the calls, but the greatest benefit is seen in attending LIVE!
How long are the Zoom coaching and strategy calls?
We aim for only an hour for each, but we ask our participants to reserve 75 minutes on their schedules.
Sometimes I may have to miss a call. Will these be recorded? What about privacy?
We record all our calls and make them available on Mighty Networks only to those who are enrolled in this session. Once we start another coaching group session (two or three times a year), we delete the recordings so no one else has access to recordings for your session other than those who were enrolled at the same time.
I am not on Facebook. Do I need a Facebook account to enjoy all the benefits of being a coaching group participant?
No! We do not use Facebook at all any more for our coaching groups. Thin Within is able to host a community on Mighty Network because we charge for our courses and classes. People purchasing our courses and classes causes us to be able to provide a home on the internet for our community. We have a spot reserved just for this coaching group session that will be accessible to participants a week before we start.
How long will I have access to the teaching materials and the recordings?
The recordings are available only until the next cohort starts. Your access to the material on Mighty Networks or at the Thin Within Academy is accessible typically for a year.
How much homework is there for the coaching class?
We will average 3 or 4 lessons each week in the workbook Fresh Wind, Fresh Desire, which you can download and print off or purchase in print form on Amazon. Plan on spending 3 to 5 hours each week on homework.
What is the difference between Thin Within and Weigh Down?
- Thin Within has been around since 1975 (before Weigh Down Workshop began or The Weigh Down Diet was written).
- We believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh and that He alone has provided atonement for the sins of humankind.
- We believe and teach that God is Triune and that His Spirit has been given to those who belong to Christ.
- The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in our ministry and in the victory of our participants as they learn to call on Him to help them to refute the lies they believe about food, eating and their bodies.
- When we stumble, we are not condemned, but confess our sin. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
- We believe that the same grace that brings salvation does teach us to say no to ungodliness, but that sanctification is a process (Titus 2:11; 2 Corinthians 3:18).
- We are not defined by our failures, but, rather invite our Redeeming God to teach us through them. In this way, our love for Him is deepened and we are equipped for victory going forward.
- We have often been asked if it is a sin to eat one bit past full. Our answer is that the bible teaches that the Kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking, but about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:7). The sin is when our hearts resist the leadership of the Holy Spirit. God is more about our hearts than He is about our thinness. Fortunately, we don't have to pick.
- If Jesus had just 5 minutes to speak to us face to face, would He wag a shaming finger in our faces and say, "Now then...about. your. weight." We do NOT think so!
- We believe that His love is a backdrop for everything that He does. It is why He went to the cross and He would speak of His unfathomable love for us.
