What does being a purple lady look like in 2025
To me this is the relationship between women, their positive perception of themselves, their worth and their relationship with a caring, loving and understanding spiritual connection to solidify their worth. The thing that represents governance in my case is Jesus Christ of Nazareth who lived a life of how we should live and care for each other.
This page is dedicated to my wonderful, beautiful, very talented sister Lauren Daegel. Thank You for touching my heart at a low point in my life and help me to have YHVH be the center of my life. Always hold on to hope. – Hopeful Optimist XOXO Lauren.
👩⚕️ WOMEN’S HEALTHY WEIGHT Day ORIGIN & HISTORY
Francis Berg wrote prolifically about healthy weight and the ravages of obesity and its impact on the body. Berg established the day through her organization, the Healthy Weight Network.
“There is a healthy range for body fat percentage, but there are differences to consider, like age or gender. A healthy body fat range is 25-31% for women and 18-24% for men; this doesn’t consider age or athletic status.”Jan 4, 2024” Baylor College of Medicine.
As we approach the NEW YEAR a NEW BEGINNING the 1st Day of Nisan Let’s consider what the previous years look like so we can understand the lessons we learned staying present in the here and now. Evaluate the goals you have that are short term and long term. This means to consider what is the driver that helps to define who you are for me although not quite the me from yesterday. I like to think of a type of Lady discussed in the Bible in Proverbs 31 as the “PURPLE LADY”. On this day, consider what defines who and what matters to you most and is reflexive of how you appear to the outside world. Care for yourself through bodily stewardship to the body you’ve been blessed with so you can be a light for others brothers and sisters and for Yehoshua.
PSALM 31 Speaks of this GODs Purple Ladies
Purple Ladies Care for their husband and their children. My mother loved Christmas time. It was a time for family for Thanksgiving and for joy. She was the second most important closest relation in my life and Christmas is a time of joy to think about and to give recognition to the one that sustains you and is your strong tower.
Experience Is a Great Teacher
Women hold fast to your TRUE identity. You have so much to give if you believe in yourself. TRULY your heart must be steadfast. Weight and health is no exception. Proper guidance regarding weight is so important we can be our worst critics but we can also be critical of others. The truth is we are beautifully created and being a representation of God’s love. This truth helps us to be Purple Ladies – sisters. Believe in yourself because you have a purpose. Life has ups and downs but in the highs and lows there is one constant that you can be sure of that you as my sisters and brothers of Christ are worth something and God loves you.
Stewardship of your body is important because it shows you care about yourself and it helps you show self love. This beauty is external but more importantly beauty shines from within such as a smile and kindness. Kindness is free so we should give it freely. It’s free! You have the choice to make a difference in peoples . It’s easy to care about people that think like ourselves but less so in people in people that don’t. Think on this though everyone has a journey that they must walk and its easy to be in opposition to people that are not like you but you should. Like I said it costs nothing to be kind and better yet when you do you don’t let anyone make you feel less than so hang in there.
Now that I helped share some insight on that since I have a lot of experience in the fitness and nutrition field here are some resources that will help you navigate how to be a good steward of your body – of course check with your doctor of medical needs diet and exercise. Reference the AMERICAN ACADEMY OF SPORTS MEDICINE. org. Exercise is medicine and learning to build healthy eating habits, sleeping, drinking sufficient water and meditating, having a prayerful life and being part of a church is the best way to have a healthy weight and body image. If you follow the basics of ACSM and myPLATE unless you need to follow doctors advice for specific medical conditions is the best way to help stay healthy.
NASM is in my opinion the very best in the United States for fitness and respected World Wide. Read Article – Healthy body image: Healthy Body Image You are More Than a Number.
Group fitness classes are held at gyms but it is best to see who is teaching the fitness classes. AFAA is their group fitness class section.
Don’t fall for lose weight quickly: Sustainable and consistent nutrition and optimal exercise based on your needs and enjoyment is best. Talk to a licensed personal trainer that has experience.
With so many diet books out there You may not know how to navigate what is best. Fact most diets fail they actually fail 95 percent of the time and lead to yo yo diets, it’s not good.
Knowing What to Eat to Support Staying Healthy
What can you do long term consider the 80 20 diet, Mediterranean Diet, or MIND or DASH these diets have been recognized by American Cancer Society, Diabetes org, American Heart Association.
There are a lot of fad diets that will tell you to do this and that. This advice may sound good and full of promises but it may not be the best diet for you. Consult doctors or registered Dietician or well qualified fitness professionals or personal trainers or sports medicine doctors that can defer to physical therapists they are there to help and the best resources to trust.
Registered Dieticians Health Line. com and Very Well.com gets rid of rigid fad diets or unrealistic workouts that don’t serve you with your body’s biomechanical needs.
I hold many degrees in college, fitness and Body Mind therapy with Jillian Micheals rather than provide a synopsis. This advice I hope helps provide a beacon of hope for health and well being. This is my prayer for you women that seek wellness but above all hold tight for who you are as a person and how God sees you. Keep believing. You are loved.
You were made a certain way out of LOVE. The Good Book teaches that man and woman are created equally in the image of God and together have dominion over the earth (Gen 1:26–27). Their equality is not limited to spiritual standing before God, but applies to their dominion over the earth.
We have to love and care for the body Jesus blessed us with.
The purple lady in the Bible is Lydia of Thyatira, a seller of purple cloth or dyes in the ancient city of Philippi. She is described in the New Testament book of Acts.
WOMEN’s HEALTHY WEIGHT Day is dedicated to promoting holistic health and body positivity among women, encouraging a focus on well-being rather than solely on weight. We do know it’s celebrated on the 3rd Thursday in January.
The day was created by Francie Berg through her organization, the Healthy Weight Network. Berg, a licensed nutritionist and adjunct professor at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine, has been a prominent advocate for shifting the focus from weight to overall health. Her work emphasizes that losing weight can sometimes lead to harmful behaviors, and she encourages a more balanced approach to health.
In 1999, Francie Berg published the book “Women Afraid to Eat: Breaking Free in Today’s Weight-Obsessed World,” which addresses issues such as obesity, eating disorders, dysfunctional eating, and size prejudice. The book serves as a counterbalance to America’s increasing fixation with being slender and promotes a healthier, more accepting perspective on body image.
