Eating Out Doesn’t Have to Throw Everything Off (Subway Example)
Eating out doesn’t have to throw everything off.
It can be done fairly healthy if you’re careful. You don’t have to do it perfectly.
If you can eat at home and eat whole, healthy foods, that is best of course. Sometimes though it’s just about making a better choice in the moment.
Here’s what I did today at Subway.

It can be hard to make a change… even when we know it’s the right way.

If you feel like you’re standing at a crossroads with your eating, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too—wanting something different, but not sure how to actually get there.

The thing to remember here is… real change doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from relying on a loving God, having the right support, and following a clear path forward.

That’s exactly what this 4-week class is about.

I know what to do… but I don’t want to.

If you’ve ever felt out of control with your eating at night, frustrated with a plateau, or unsure how to handle setbacks—you’re not alone.

In our latest podcast episode, Tony and I talk through some of these real-life struggles and what actually helps in those moments.

We talk about why evenings can be so difficult—when you finally sit down, you’re tired, and cravings start to creep in.

And for those times when you do overeat, here’s something important: you don’t have to wait until tomorrow to start over. You can turn back to God and move forward with grace instead of shame.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do… I just can’t seem to do it,” I think this will really resonate with you.

Struggling to stick with your diet… even when you know what to do?

It’s not a lack of knowledge—it’s the cycle.

Eating when you’re not even hungry.
Telling yourself “this is the last time”…
and then ending up right back there again.

This 4-week class is designed to help you break that cycle—
with structure, support, and a Christ-centered approach through the 12 Steps.

We start this Thursday.

Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV)
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.”

There are moments when it can feel like nothing will ever change—like the same patterns with food, the same thoughts, and the same struggles will always be there. But this verse reminds us of something powerful: real change doesn’t start with trying harder… it starts with God giving us something new.

A new heart means new desires. A new spirit means new strength. This isn’t about forcing yourself into better habits—it’s about allowing God to transform you from the inside out. The same God who promises a new heart is faithful to guide your choices, calm your cravings, and help you walk in a new way.

Basically, the point is… you don’t have to rely on your own willpower. God is doing a deeper work in you. As you turn to Him, even in the small, everyday decisions around food, He is shaping your heart and leading you toward freedom.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me a new heart and a new spirit. This will help guide me to grow in Your love and truth for my life and relationships. Help me in my relationship with food so that I only plan to eat foods that are healthy and nourish my body today. I thank You Lord for your help with healthy eating and exercise today. Amen.

Step 1: The turning point

“I just need to try harder.”

I used to believe that… but it never lasted.

Step 1 is where everything begins:
admitting that what we’ve been doing isn’t working.

“I just need to learn to eat in moderation… How’s that working for you?”

That question changed everything for me.

Basically, the point is…
freedom started when I stopped trying to control it on my own.

If you feel stuck in the same cycle, you don’t have to stay there.

I’m walking through this step (and the rest of the 12 Steps) in my 4-week live class starting soon.

When I think about how much money I wasted on fast food…
and the times I ended up at the doctor because of my health…

I’m so grateful for my 90-pound weight loss—and the health that has followed.

Basically, the point is…
this isn’t just about weight.

The 12 Steps can change everything—physically, mentally, and even financially.

👉 If you’re stuck in this cycle, you don’t have to stay there. There is a way out.

Most people already know how to eat healthy.
That’s not usually the problem.

The struggle is what happens in the moment—
when you’re not even hungry… but still want to eat.

I’ve been there too.

That’s why I created a simple, Christ-centered 4-week class where I walk you through the 12 Steps and help you break that cycle—with structure and support.

I remember when I first got to Step 4, and honestly, I didn’t want to do it.

It felt too big. Too overwhelming.

Someone told me to start with a list of resentments, and that part was easy—the names came quickly. But after that, I got stuck. I was a busy mom of three boys, and I remember thinking, How am I ever going to get all of this done?

What helped was simple—I joined a Step 4 class. Having structure and support made all the difference.

And when I finally completed Steps 4 and 5, I experienced something I didn’t expect… real relief.

Freedom from resentment, anger, and bitterness.

Looking back, I can see those were the very things driving my emotional eating.

It wasn’t just about food.
It was about what I hadn’t dealt with yet.

Tony and I talk more about this in our latest podcast episode on Step 4.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or overwhelmed, I think this will help.

“Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:4-5

In these verses, Jesus teaches that we need to walk in all the ways He taught us throughout His life, as written in the Holy Scriptures. We can’t do this without Him and His Spirit living within us. When we do His will, He will be with us and strengthen us all our days. Let’s pray that we always remain (abide) in Him.

Dear Lord Jesus, I thank You that I can abide in You so that I can bear good fruit in my life. This also means that You will help me make good food choices in my daily food plan. Help me, dear Lord, to eat well so that I can live well today. Amen.

Your Story Can Change a Life

By the time we get to Step 12, we’ve likely had some healing and success already. Even if we feel like our story isn’t good enough, we can share our successes – big or small – with others.

"Telling your story is about you, not them. Even this can be tricky with a person who is very defensive. It may be better to wait for them to ask you about your conversion. Your story can also be part of a conversation when you decline certain foods and eating behaviors… A simple answer of, 'I don’t eat that' or jokingly, 'I’ve had my lifetime quota already,' usually intrigues the person’s interest and curiosity and offers a perfect opportunity to tell your story of weight loss and healing." — 12 Steps to Recovery from Overeating, by Julie Kleinhans

When we share what God has done in our lives, we plant seeds of hope in others. You never know who might be watching, wondering, and longing for the same freedom you’ve found.

If you’ve experienced victory over overeating — even in small steps — your story matters. It can inspire someone else to take their first step toward recovery.

📖 “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11

💛 Want to learn how to find that same freedom — and how to share it with others? My book, 12 Steps to Recovery from Overeating, will guide you step-by-step through a Christ-centered journey to peace with food. Links are in the comments.
