Jennie Winter: Terrified to Eat - My Way Back After 10 Years in a Weight-Loss Cult
In this episode, Jennie Winter, one of my private coaching clients, speaks candidly about her 10 year experience in what many call a weight-loss cult. HBO Max made a docuseries about the group in 2021 called, The Way Down: God, Greed and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin.
The Weigh Down was founded in the controversial Remnant Fellowship, a weight-loss based Christian church in Tennessee. In this interview, you will hear Jennie talk about her experience of being terrified to eat ANYTHING for fear of going to hell. Yes, you heard that right: for fear of going to hell, and also for fear of losing her husband AND her children if she didn’t get thin. She explains why in the interview.
She talks about how she was encouraged to starve herself until she did lose all the weight they thought she should lose. In addition, Jennie share how she finally broke away from the movement after 10 years, learned about The Law of Attraction, found me and other resources, and the new journey she’s on which includes loving her body, celebrating her food and yes, releasing pounds without stress, anxiety and shame.
I hope you enjoyed my interview with Jennie Winter.
