How to Stop Self-Sabotaging with Food

You’ve had a few good days on your diet plan. You’re feeling confident that you’re finally on the right track. The change you’ve longed for, worked for, and even prayed for is within reach. 

But then, something happens: negative thoughts and poor body image crowd out all of the good messages you’ve been feeding into your mind. 

You’ve seen the positive results that come from honoring God with your food choices. You’ve embraced grace instead of all-or-nothing eating. But those old habits come calling again and, before you know it, you’re right back where you started. 

If you’ve ever wondered how to stop self-sabotaging with food, you’re not alone. Many women struggle with food baggage that holds them back from progress. 

But as a Christian woman, you know that this struggle goes deeper. Your enemy knows that when he can keep you feeling discouraged, you can’t reach your full potential for your Heavenly Father. 

It’s time to stop self-sabotage in its tracks!

First, you need to get to the root cause of your self-sabotage. Are you dealing with some mean-girl talk? Or are your issues deep-rooted from childhood?Once you know why you self-sabotage, you can start to replace those negative thoughts with God’s thoughts.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:8-9 ESV
