In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. Ephesians 1:7 (NIV)

God has richly blessed us every day with His grace and forgiveness, through the power of Jesus’ blood. When we remember this loving gift, we naturally want to praise and thank God in all our thoughts, words and actions. Remembering that our bodies are a temple for the Holy Spirit, we also want to care for our bodies in the best way we can. God can help us with this by giving us strength and guidance through prayer and His Word. We can ask Him for this in Jesus’ name.

Dear Father God, I thank You for the riches of Your grace that bless my life. Help me to trust You more fully with my eating plan and action plan each day so that I can continue to live better and make better and healthier eating plans and choices. I thank You for Your guidance and power to live out Your best plans for me today. Thank You, Lord. Amen.

What if you stopped trying to overcome overeating through willpower alone?

Maybe you've tried countless diets, made promises to yourself, and prayed for the strength to stop overeating. Yet somehow, you keep falling back into the same habits.

I know that struggle because I've been there, too.

But here's something I've learned in recovery: God cares about every area of our lives, including our struggles with food.

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you.” — Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)

Step Two of recovery reminds us that we don't have to rely on our own strength. We can turn to our loving God for help, guidance, and the strength to make healthier choices.

That doesn't mean recovery happens overnight or that we don't have work to do. Prayer, practical tools, healthy eating habits, and the support of others all play a part.

You don't have to keep fighting this battle alone. Recovery is possible!

Learning to Be Content

“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” — Philippians 4:12–13 (NIV)

Contentment doesn't always come naturally. It's something we learn.

When I struggled with overeating, I often looked to food for comfort, satisfaction, or relief from difficult emotions. But food could never give me the lasting peace I was looking for.

Through recovery, I've learned that I don't have to satisfy every craving or turn to food whenever life gets uncomfortable.

I can pause, pray, and trust God to help me make healthy choices.

Paul reminds us that contentment isn't dependent on our circumstances. It comes from learning to rely on Christ, who gives us strength.

And that's good news for anyone struggling with overeating!

You can enjoy your favorite restaurant foods without overeating!

Tony and I were at Red Robin recently, and I wanted a hamburger. But have you seen the size of those burgers? They're huge!

One thing I've learned over the years is that I don't have to eat everything on my plate just because it's there.

In this short video, I'm sharing two simple things I do when eating out to help me stick to my healthy eating plan.

I spent years struggling with overeating, so I know how easy it is to eat more than you intended, especially at restaurants.

But you don't have to give up eating out to make healthier choices. Sometimes a little planning and a few practical habits can make a big difference.

**What's one thing you do to avoid overeating when you eat out?**

Recovery is easier when you have encouragement along the way.

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)

When I was struggling with overeating, I needed more than another diet or a list of foods I should avoid.

I needed to change the way I thought about food, learn to turn to God instead of eating my emotions, and develop daily habits that supported my recovery.

And I needed encouragement from others who understood the struggle.

That's one reason Tony and I started Reshape and Recover.

We believe that faith, practical tools, and a supportive community can make a meaningful difference in overcoming overeating and emotional eating.

You don't have to have everything figured out before asking for help.

Sometimes the next right step is simply reaching out.

❤️ If you're looking for Christ-centered encouragement and support in your recovery, we'd love to have you join our community.

Do you ever crave food when you know you're not hungry?

Maybe you've had a stressful day, you're worried about someone you love, or something just isn't going the way you'd hoped.

And suddenly, something to eat sounds really good.

I understand. For much of my life, reaching for food was my automatic response to uncomfortable feelings.

But I've learned that food doesn't solve those problems. It only provides a temporary distraction.

In this week's *Reshape and Recover* podcast, Tony and I talk about Psalm 63 and what we can do when we're craving extra food.

We share practical ways to recognize what we're really needing, interrupt the urge to overeat, and turn to God when life gets difficult.

I also share a free *Give It to God* worksheet to help you work through worries and focus on what you can control while trusting God with the rest.

Philippians 3:13–14 reminds us to forget what is behind and press on toward what is ahead.

You don't have to get everything right today.

Maybe yesterday didn't go as planned. You ate more than you intended, gave in to a craving, or found yourself turning to food for comfort.

I know how that feels because I struggled with those same things for years.

But here's something I've learned in recovery: You don't have to figure out the rest of your life today.

You just need to make your next right choice.

That might mean eating your planned breakfast, saying a prayer when you're tempted, or reaching out to someone for encouragement.

God's grace is available today. Receive it, make your next right choice, and keep moving forward.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 (NIV)

Walking in the light means choosing to follow Jesus in our daily thoughts, decisions, and actions. When we fall short, we can turn to Him, confess our sins, and receive His forgiveness. This includes our struggles with food and caring for the bodies God has given us. As we seek His guidance each day, He helps us make healthier choices and continue growing in our faith and recovery.

Dear Lord, thank You for forgiving me when I fall short and sin. Your Word says that the blood of Jesus cleanses me from all my sins. Please help me treat my body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. Please help me and guide me by developing a healthy eating plan and action plan today for my good and to give You all the glory, honor and praise with thanksgiving and gratitude. Amen!

Have you ever promised yourself you would eat just one—and then couldn't stop?

Maybe you've tried countless diets, lost weight, and even managed to control your eating for a while. But eventually, you found yourself right back where you started.

I know that struggle because I lived it for years.

I used to tell myself, *"I just need to learn to eat in moderation."* But moderation never worked for me when it came to my binge foods.

That's why Step One of the 12 Steps was so important in my recovery.

For me, that meant accepting something I had resisted for years: I couldn't keep eating the foods that triggered my compulsive overeating and expect a different result.

I had to stop trying to manage those foods and start living without them.

And here's what I discovered: Giving up my binge foods didn't take away my freedom. It gave me freedom.

With God's help, the 12 Steps, and the support of others, I've been able to maintain that freedom for more than 18 years.

If you've been struggling to control your eating, perhaps the first step isn't trying harder. Perhaps it's being honest about what's not working.

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." — John 8:32 (NIV)

Ready to take the first step toward freedom from overeating?

In my book, 12 Steps to Recovery from Overeating, I walk you through each of the 12 Steps with practical guidance, biblical encouragement, and personal insights from my own recovery journey.

Whether you're just beginning or have struggled for years, these steps can help you build a foundation for lasting recovery.

“My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” — Psalm 121:2 (NIV)

What do you do when you really want to eat—but you know you aren’t physically hungry?

I know how powerful that pull can feel.

For years, food was where I turned for comfort. Changing that pattern didn’t happen because I suddenly developed more willpower.

I had to learn to turn somewhere else.

And you can too.

When the urge for extra food comes, you have another choice.

Before you eat, stop and talk to God.

Lord, I want to eat right now, but I know I’ve had enough. Help me understand what I really need and give me the strength to get through this without turning to food.

Then give yourself some time.

Take a walk. Call someone. Read Scripture. Do something that gets you out of the kitchen and gives the urge time to pass.

Every time you turn to God instead of extra food, you’re practicing a new way of responding.

The craving doesn’t have to make the decision for you.
