Believe in Yourself Again
You can lose the weight. You can break free from emotional eating. You can feel at peace with food.
But let’s be honest—some days, it feels impossible.
You wake up determined to “be good” today… but by evening, you’re standing in the kitchen, finishing the last bites of a meal you barely tasted.
You try to stay positive, but deep down, you wonder: Why can’t I just stick with this?
You keep telling yourself you’ll start fresh on Monday, but Monday never lasts.
I get it—because I’ve been there.
From My Heart to Yours: How I Rebuilt My Confidence
Hi, I’m Sara Borgstede, founder of The Holy Mess. I struggled with emotional eating, secret binges, and deep shame around my weight.
For years, I prayed for a miracle, but the real change didn’t come overnight—it came in small, quiet moments where I chose to believe in myself again.
I wrote down affirmations—truths about who I was, what I was capable of, and what God was doing in my life.
At first, it felt awkward. Could just saying words really make a difference?
But I kept going. And little by little…
- I stopped beating myself up after every slip-up.
- I learned to eat without guilt—and finally enjoy food again.
-
I lost over 100 pounds and gained something even better: peace.

"The journey to weight loss requires dedication, time, and commitment
and it is very easy to get sucked in to the temptations out there
and fall back into unhealthy eating habits.
I have a mood board of my goal weight (on my phone, wallet, on my bedroom wall) which
I see everyday, which helps stay accountable, and makes any goal believable.
Affirmations as great, because they help reprogram the subconscious mind
and they give you the confidence to consistently take action daily."
