The Ups and Downs of Weight LossDo you ever feel like weight loss is a battle? Not just a one and done but a back and forth lose/gain experience?  On today’s podcast, I visit with Sandy about the ups and downs of weight loss. Here’s a sampling of the topics we’ll be discussing.

Topics we’ll be discussing:

  • cheat days: are they worth it?
  • fatigue and how that affect dieting
  • sweets addiction
  • vacation eating and how to stay the course while on vacation
  • careless living after losing weight
  • how God feels about us in the midst of a binge
  • the importance of renewing

We also discuss the following lies:

  • This is a special treat so I should eat it.
  • We never get to do this so I should enjoy it.
  • It won’t hurt. It’s only a little bit.
  • I’ve already blown it. I might as well keep eating.
  • I’m on vacation. I’ll get back on track when I get home.
  • God doesn’t love me when I’m bingeing.

12/28/18 Update from Sandy:

I asked Sandy for an update to put on the blog and here’s the email she sent me: Though I have been struggling the last few months, I am not quitting.  God is still working on me and I am making progress internally and I know the external will follow.  When I start with the external/food plan, it isn’t sustainable for long because the root causes are not fixed.  Through a number of things God brings my way, I am slowly working through the spiritual and emotional part of eating, which will yield more permanent results.

Thanks for the update, Sandy!

    Great podcast! I think it was really a victory interview! Sandy has done so well and persevered with her renewing of the mind. I pray she continues and gives herself grace. You are such a great coach with wonderful insight. Thank you for the encouragement. I thought I was the only one who gained weight after the vacation:) God Bless You!!

    Thank you! Your information and podcasts fits well with what I have been learning in Biblical Counseling about renewing your mind. I have learned so much and have been challenged to grow closer to the Lord through your podcasts in the midst of my sinful eating habits in the past.
