## Resource

Are you fasting, trying to lose weight, or drawing closer to God—and suddenly finding it harder, not easier?😣 🙏 In this powerful episode, Denise gently walks you through the five most common spiritual attacks women experience while fasting, especially around food, weight, and self-control. You'll learn how to recognize cravings, discouragement, self-reliance, shame, and pride for what they actually are—not personal failures, but spiritual resistance that often shows up when you're growing closer to the Lord ✝️🔥 Denise explains why these attacks happen, how to spot them early, and the simple, grace-filled tools you can use to respond with peace instead of panic 🕊️💛 If Lent has ever felt dry, heavy, or discouraging—or if food and weight feel like a constant battle—this episode will help you reframe the struggle, calm your nervous system, and return your focus to God as your true source of comfort and strength 🙌✨ #WeightLossWithTheHolySpirit #CatholicWeightLoss #SpiritualWarfare #LentFasting #FaithAndFood
