Shouldn’t managing our eating habits be simple? In our minds, we believe it should be, and yet – in daily life – so many of us find food and sugar addiction to be very complicated to overcome. Today on the Taste for Truth Podcast (links below), Tammy and I discuss different factors that contribute to our struggles with problem foods and overeating, and how renewing our minds helps us to break free once and for all.

What We Discussed on the Podcast

  • How past trauma and currents stressors push us to cope with the pain through addictions
  • How our identity and body image contribute to the binge cycle
  • How we can reframe our thinking in regards to foods that we’ve given up, either for a time or for good
  • Why any one way of eating alone is not the real answer to our food struggles
  • How to apply the skills we’ve learned in overcoming other trials in our lives to our problem with food
  • How to dismantle lifelong food strongholds

Another Resource to Help You Break Free from a Sugar Stronghold

    Wonderful podcast on September 12. You mentioned that you would post a link to “I am statements. ” I can’t find them. Thanks for your help.

      Hi Debbie, Look up in the “Resources Discussed in This Podcast” section and it’s called “Who I Am In Christ by Neil Anderson.” I might edit that and add “I am statements” to make them easier to find! Glad you enjoyed the podcast!

    This is something I struggle with as well. I have given up sugar and process foods. I call it crack cocaine. I must get off the drugs and eat clean food.

      That’s a great way to look at it, Kimberly. Good for you for giving them up! I know it’s hard!
