When Emotional Eating Feels Automatic

 Psalm 34:18: The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed..Why Emotional Eating Happens:  1.Stress & Cortisol- Your body seeks quick dopamine. Sugar appears to be an instant comfort.2. Fatigue After 40, your hunger hormones rise when you’re tired. It’s not “lack of willpower” — it’s biology, but it can be realigned.3. Loneliness or overwhelm- Food seems to be a silent companion.4. Unprocessed emotions- We avoid feelings by eating them, only to be left feeling worse than before.Eradicate Emotional Eating with this METHOD:The 1-Minute Interrupt: When you start to feel the pull to the fridge or pantry, before you take a step in that direction or even one bite, pause for 1 minute and ask yourself:1. What is my body feeling? Tired? Anxious? Overstimulated?2. What is my heart feeling? Lonely? Hurt? Ignored?3. What does my spirit need? Peace? Prayer? Stillness?Lord, I am so tired of this crutch. I am so tired of leaning on food when I know You are the only true fix to any issue I face. Father forgive me for seeking fulfillment in food and diets, Lord I am laying it all down. No more going to the pantry before I run to You. Lead me Lord, take this struggle from me, I can’t do it on my own and I don’t want to. I want to operate on the Resurrection power that lives inside of me, thanks to You. Restore me Father! Rescue me from this exhausting emotional cycle, I’m done. Give me what I need today Lord, which is time with You and in Your Holy Word. Remind me why I’m here, Lord, to serve and love others in Your Name. I ask this in Your Name, Amen.Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?Hey there friend, I'm Lindy Schlabach, Christian Fitness & Nutrition Coach.
