You know those moments when you’re bored, tired, or stressed, and you suddenly want to eat something?
We all have those moments.
Here’s a simple but powerful tool that’s helped many of the people we coach:
📃 Create a list of non-food comforts. Write it down. Post it somewhere visible.
That way, when the urge hits, you don’t have to figure out what to do. You already have your go-to alternatives ready:
• Go for a 10-minute walk
• Listen to a favorite worship song
• Call a friend
• Read the Bible
• Be creative (sewing, woodworking, etc.)
• Drink water and breathe deeply
Sometimes all you need is a reset—a way to interrupt the pattern.
📖 “Search me, God, and know my heart... Lead me in the way everlasting.” — Psalm 139:23-24
You don’t have to rely on willpower alone. You can train your brain to choose a new path—one that leads to peace.
