Why does it take hitting a breaking point before we finally admit we can’t fix this on our own?

So many of us have tried everything — and still found ourselves right back in the same painful cycle with food.

The truth is, in Step One, we acknowledge what’s already real:
we are broken without God.
Not broken beyond repair… but broken in the sense that our own strength isn’t enough.

When I first heard Bill W.’s story, it helped me understand my own story. He kept trying to control his addiction. He made promises. He swore he’d change. He genuinely meant it… and yet he found himself powerless to stop drinking.

That’s what it feels like with food sometimes, isn’t it?
You want so much to change, but something stronger keeps pulling you back.

Admitting we’re broken isn’t failure.
It’s the beginning of freedom.

Because the moment we stop pretending we can carry our cross alone…
the moment we finally surrender…
Jesus meets us right there.

He doesn’t shame us.
He doesn’t scold us.
He bends down into our brokenness and lifts the weight with us.

Brokenness is not the end.
It’s the doorway — the sacred space where God’s healing begins.

If you feel broken today, take heart.
It means Step One is working.
It means you’re ready for surrender.
And surrender is where Jesus starts restoring the pieces you thought were beyond repair.

You are not alone.
You are not too far gone.
And God is already moving in the places that feel the most shattered.

Keep coming back — He heals the brokenhearted one day at a time.

If you’re feeling broken and need God’s help in this journey, I’d love to invite you to check out my website and join my free 7-Day Prayer Challenge.

It will help you reconnect with God, strengthen your surrender, and begin healing with Him — one day at a time.

✨ Sunday Encouragement — Romans 12:1–2

Romans 12:1–2 “Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

I love this passage so much.
It reminds me that taking care of my body isn’t just about me—
not about vanity, not about perfection, and not even only about health.

It is an act of spiritual worship.

When we choose foods that nourish us…
When we steward our bodies with care…
When we pause and invite God into our decisions…
We are honoring the One who created us.

This kind of transformation doesn’t come from willpower.
It comes from renewing our minds—turning away from the world’s messages about food, body image, and quick fixes, and turning our hearts toward God’s truth, His Word, and His will.

Here’s a simple prayer for today:

Dear Lord,
Help us remember that our bodies are Your holy temple.
Give us the desire and the strength to honor You in the choices we make.

Renew our minds through Your Word, and guide us into what is good, acceptable, and perfect in Your sight.
In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.

Step Two — Trusting God With Our Struggle With Food

Perhaps you are like I was…

I believed in God.

I trusted Him with the “big” things — my family, my health, my salvation, my future.

But my struggle with overeating?
I never prayed about that.

It felt too small… too personal… too embarrassing… just not important enough to bother God with. I felt like He had bigger, more urgent prayers to answer.

But here’s what I learned:
God is so much bigger and loves us so much more than we could ever imagine!

♦ Scripture tells us that He rejoices over us with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).
♦ And Jesus Himself said that God has numbered every hair on our head (Matthew 10:30).

If God loves us with that level of detail, care, and affection…
Why would He not want to help us with the daily battle so many of us face with food?

That new-found knowledge changed everything for me.

**This is the heart of Step Two:
“Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.”**

And, of course, for us Christians, the God of the Bible is that power, and He can help us with all things - including our struggle with overeating.

Overeating isn’t about lack of willpower.
It’s a physical (we know sugar and processed foods are addictive), emotional, and spiritual struggle — and God cares about every layer of it.

Many of us have:
• eaten past fullness
• hidden food
• eaten in secret
• gone on late-night food runs
• eaten things we didn’t even enjoy
• felt shame, regret, or hopelessness afterward

And still, God does not turn away.
He invites us to lay our shame at the feet of Jesus and trust that He can help us recover.

Step Two is where hope begins.
It’s where we stop relying on our own strength and start believing that God truly can restore our thinking, our habits, and our relationship with food.

If you’re struggling, remember this truth today:
You matter deeply to God.
Your recovery matters to Him too.
And with His help — real, lasting change is absolutely possible.

Why Rest Matters for Your Recovery and Well-Being 🌿

I have a tendency to keep working and not slow down. But on the weekends, I intentionally shift gears — worship, a couple of trips to the pool, and an evening out with my husband. Those moments remind me how important it is to rest, reconnect, and actually enjoy life.

As we head into the weekend, I want to offer a gentle reminder I’ve had to learn myself:

Rest is not laziness — it’s part of recovery.

When we pause, we create space to hear God more clearly and make healthier choices for our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Whether you’re in a season of personal growth, healing, or simply managing life’s demands, taking time to reset is essential.

What’s one thing you can do this weekend that brings you real restoration?

Break Free from Old Eating Habits Through a New Heart 💛

Sometimes our hearts feel stubborn — like no matter how much we want to change, we keep going back to old eating habits. We promise ourselves it’ll be different, but somehow end up in the same cycle again.

But God doesn’t just ask us to try harder — He offers us something better.
In Ezekiel 36:26, He says, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you.”

This isn’t about more willpower — it’s about surrender. Real change begins when we let God do what only He can: transform our hearts from the inside out.

In this week’s episode of the Reshape and Recover Podcast, Tony and I talk about:
💛 How to invite God into the root causes of your eating struggles, not just the surface behaviors
💛 Why trying to fix yourself only leads to frustration — and how faith opens the door to lasting change
💛 The role of prayer and accountability in softening a hard heart and finding true freedom

When God gives you a new heart, He doesn’t just remove the craving — He reshapes your desires. That’s when lasting transformation begins.

🎧 Listen to “Break Free from Old Eating Habits Through a New Heart” — now available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube (audio only), and ReshapeAndRecover.com.

Confidential Conversations Unlock Hope and Healing

When we open up about our struggles — whether with food, emotions, or faith — we need a space that feels safe. 💛

It took me a while to open up to people in my group. I was afraid of being judged. But as I heard others share their own struggles, I realized I wasn’t alone. They understood what I was going through — and many were dealing with the same things I was.

That’s what we offer inside Reshape and Recover: a Christ-centered community where you can share honestly, be understood, and find strength to keep going.

Healing happens when we feel seen, supported, and protected — not judged. In our meetings and coaching sessions, what’s shared stays private, and what grows is trust and hope.

You don’t have to carry your burdens alone. God calls us to walk with one another — “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2

If you’re ready for a safe, faith-based space to heal, we’d love to walk with you. 🌿

“Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and my mind.
For Your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in Your faithfulness.”
— Psalm 26:2–3 (ESV)

In recovery, we learn to invite God to search our hearts — not to shame us, but to heal us. Like David, we can pray, “Test me, Lord,” knowing that His love is gentle and His goal is transformation.

When we let God show us what’s really driving our struggles, He replaces fear and cravings with peace. Step by step, we walk in His faithfulness.

Prayer:
Lord, search my heart and fill my deeper hunger with Your love. Thank You for being gentle, faithful, and patient as You help me grow. Amen.

Step One: The Beginning of Hope

When I first came to Overeaters Anonymous, I thought Step One was just about admitting I had a problem with food.
But it’s more than that.

True recovery begins when we recognize that this isn’t just a lack of willpower — it’s an addiction. For me, that addiction was to sugar and junk food. Until I believed that, I kept thinking I could manage it or “just eat a little.”

I floundered for over two years before hearing Bill W’s story from Alcoholics Anonymous. As I listened, I realized his story was just like mine — only his addiction was alcohol, and mine was food.

That’s when everything changed. I finally understood why I couldn’t control it. I had to admit my powerlessness — and that’s where God met me.

There is real hope in the 12 Steps, in the love of a supportive community, and most of all, in God’s power to transform our hearts and our habits.
Step One isn’t the end — it’s the beautiful beginning of freedom.

💛 If you’re ready to take that first step toward lasting change, come join us at Reshape and Recover — where faith and recovery meet — for just $12/month.

That’s probably less than you spend at a fast-food restaurant each month!

🌿 Start Your Weekend with a Grateful Heart

As the weekend begins, take a moment to pause and thank God for His goodness. Gratitude lifts our perspective — helping us see His hand in both the big moments and the little ones.

We are so blessed — with both small and large things. When we take time to notice even the little blessings in life, joy begins to grow. Writing out five things we’re grateful for can shift our focus away from the hard things that often drive us toward food for comfort. Every blessing is a reminder that God is near and faithful.

When we fill our hearts with thankfulness, it changes everything. Gratitude lightens our burdens, softens our hearts, and reminds us that joy isn’t found in having more — it’s found in recognizing all we’ve already been given.

💛 Let your weekend begin with thanks and peace, knowing that His love endures forever.

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1

Is Food Addictive? 🍩🍔🍫

Yes — some food is very addictive! Have you ever promised yourself you’d stop eating certain foods… only to find yourself right back at them? You’re not alone. Studies show that sugar lights up the brain’s reward center much like addictive substances do — leaving us craving more and more.

But it’s not just a physical addiction — it’s also psychological and spiritual. The food seems to fill a deeper need for comfort and love. That’s an emotional or spiritual hunger — but food never truly satisfies!

When we turn to food for comfort, what we’re really longing for is peace, connection, and relief from pain. Those needs are real — but only God can truly satisfy them.

💛 The good news? Recovery is possible. Through Christ, community, and practical steps, you can find freedom from cravings and compulsive eating.

If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to stop eating certain foods, you’re not broken — you’re human. And there’s hope for healing. At Reshape and Recover, we walk alongside you as you find freedom and better health — one step at a time.

🌿 Finding Comfort Beyond Food

When life feels overwhelming, food can feel like the easiest comfort.
But God offers us something far better — His Word and His promises.

In our latest Reshape and Recover podcast episode, Tony and I share Bible verses that speak directly to real struggles — fear, anxiety, depression, shame, anger, loneliness, and more.

Each verse reminds us that God sees us, loves us, and is present in every situation we face. Through Scripture and our own recovery stories, we show how turning to God’s Word can calm anxious thoughts, lift a heavy heart, and give strength to persevere — without turning to food for relief.

✨ Key takeaway: We don’t need to go to food when we’re struggling — we can go to God, who promises peace, strength, and hope for every season of life.
