Video and Lesson
So many of us turn to food when we are emotional because we believe the lie that says food will make us feel better. When we are sad, a brownie will make us happy, and when we are angry, a bag of chips will take the anger away. The truth is, God did not create food to comfort us, and it will not heal emotional pain.
One of the challenges we face when seeking freedom from emotional eating is that it's not an option to just quit eating, so we have to learn how to have a healthier mindset when it comes to food. God created food to nourish us, and we can’t survive without it. Food is fuel for our bodies, and it can also be a source of enjoyment, but it should NEVER be where we turn for comfort. God is the only one who can truly fill the void we experience during stressful moments in our lives. God is there to walk us through disappointments, failures, and regrets.
Changing how we react to our emotions isn’t easy. Our brain forms neuropathways, or ruts. These pathways are helpful because they allow us to do certain activities without having to think too hard, but they also make it challenging to change. Your brain may have formed neuropathways so that when you feel sad, you automatically turn to food. We are going to help you get rid of this rut, so when you feel emotional, it doesn’t trigger you to turn to food.
It’s time to stop the emotional eating cycle and take your life back!
