How to Navigate Halloween Without Giving In to Candy Temptation

Julie and Tony Kleinhans host "Reshape and Recover," a podcast focusing on scriptural approaches to overcoming overeating.

Halloween can be one of the hardest days for those of us in recovery from overeating. Candy bowls at work, leftover treats, and parties centered around food can all stir up powerful cravings.

But with prayer, a plan, and support from our recovery community, we can walk through this season with peace — and even joy.

In this episode, we share faith-based strategies to:

✨ Prepare your heart before Halloween

✨ Stay grounded in God’s strength during temptation

✨ Reflect afterward with gratitude — not guilt

We also talk about practical tools and Scriptures like:

🍬 1 Corinthians 10:13 — God always provides a way out of temptation

🕯 Proverbs 27:12 — The prudent see danger and take refuge

🙏 Psalm 73:26 — “God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever”

You’ll hear real-life stories, gentle humor, and biblical encouragement to help you face candy temptation with confidence — remembering that your worth isn’t defined by what you eat, but by who you belong to.

💛 Key Takeaway: We don’t have to rely on willpower alone. When we lean on God’s strength, plan ahead, and stay connected to community, we can enjoy Halloween without giving in to candy cravings.
