When it gets hard, we want relief. We want relief from feeling terrible. It makes sense that we would turn to food when we are feeling terrible so we eat to feel better.

Do you find yourself not wanting to do the things it takes to lose weight?   We often tell ourselves we don't want to do things in the moment because our brain is striving to keep us comfortable.   What if you really did want to do the hard things?  There is a part of you that wants to.  Spend time listing to that part of yourself.

This past week I taught a masterclass that focused on learning from our failures.  I wanted to upload it here because I see so many people (including myself) who quit on themselves because they can't follow their plan 100%.   It's so tempting to quit when we keep making mistakes.  But I want to offer that maybe the mistakes are telling us we are on the RIGHT track!   In this hour we talked about: perfection doesn't get us to our goal. why failing means we are on the right track 5 step process to learn from our "over-eats."

Are you tired of thinking about food all the time? I remember when I was 40 pounds heavier, I would use food to not be bored, not feel overwhelmed, and try not to be sad.  If I was feeling bad, I was looking for something to eat. Jalepeno kettle chips did the trick. Until I started thinking endlessly about how terrible I was for eating them.  I was consumed with thinking about food...or beating myself up for eating food. It was exhausting. And, the boredom, overwhelm and sadness didn't go away. When the chip were gone, it all came back. This is Day 3 of our Prayer, Protocol, & Protein Challenge.  We talk about food decisions.   Check it out to see the power of deciding. If you'd like to learn how to stop the exhausting cycle of eating and feeling bad, and want to gain control and peace with food, check out our next "Stop Over-Eating" class starting April 15th.  Check it out here.

This is Day 2 of our Prayer, Protocol & Protein Challenge. A lot of us don't think to include the Holy Spirit in our weight-loss journey. A lot of that is because of guilt and shame.  We feel bad for our eating habits, so we want to hide. But we have the Holy Spirit in us and He want to partner with us. There are so many stories in the Bible where God uses humans to help Him bring about His plan. God created Adam because He wanted someone to rule the earth and work the land. Noah was called by God to help save the animals of the earth during the flood. God called Moses to help Him bring His people out of slavery from Egypt. And when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, he asked the people to move the stone from the tomb first. We serve a God who never changes. He wants to partner with us to free ourselves from the bondage of food and self-loathing. In today's challenge we talk about who the Holy spirit is and who we are in Him. I'm excited to announce that registration is open for our next 12 week "Stop Over-Eating" class.  We start April 15th. If you want to stop eating your feelings, strengthen your self-discipline, gain control of food and learn to take every thought captive to lose weight for the last time, check it out.  I'd love to have you join us. https://www.leandramcmullen.com/the-christian-weight-loss-academy

  When we have the over-desire to be thin, it leads us to over-try to be thin. Wanting to be thin so much but not believing we can do it, creates over-desire and over-trying. Over-trying leads to burnout, trying too hard, getting tense, anxious and wrapped in the goal of losing weight. This happens when we believe being thinner will make us happier. Listen to today's episode to find out how to stop over-trying and how to become happier where we are.

When something happens that upsets you, do you want to overeat?   And for some of us, the action of over-eating upsets us enough so that we just keep over-eating. When this happens, we can take our power back doing 2 steps & asking ourselves 5 questions. Step 1:  Write what happened.  The whole story.   Step 2:  List just the facts. The rest is just story.  It’s what we are telling ourselves about the facts.   The story is what creates how we feel about it.  That’s why sometimes…we feel ok about the situation and other times feel terrible about it.   It’s not the situation that changes, it’s the story we are telling ourselves. Listen in to hear about how I have been feeling about my fall and injury.  I share my process to taking my power back and over-coming that temptation to just eat my way through the pain.

  Loving ourselves thin is a commitment. I want to offer that there is no other path to thinness that is acceptable. We all have those moments where we stand on the scale and it doesn't comply.  Even if we are doing all the things "right."  The scale can go up. It's in these moments that we will be tempted to abandon ourselves.   We decided we need to go to an extreme to get the "fat" off now.  Or we decide that nothing works and we tell ourselves to just go eat anything we want since nothing works anyway. This never works. In these moments, there will be anb urge to quit.  There will be an urge to get mad at yourself.  An urge to hate yourself. These urges matter. The difference between someone losing the weight permanently and someone who doesn't is managing these urges to quit.

Life is 50/50 - aways. As we go through life, our brain's job is to avoid pain at all cost. It's very well intended.  It doesn't know the difference between physical danger and negative emotion. It will avoid our negative emotions with food. The more we use food as the solution to our negative emotions, we grow our desire for food. So we try to escape but we actually layer our pain with judgement, shame & guilt when we do this. Join me in today's episode as we talk about the questions to ask ourselves when we are tempted to eat when we feel bad. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.  He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.  Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.  Psalm 147:3-5.

  A lot of times, we get excited about our weight-loss goals because we think about the benefit of achieving the goal.  We become motivated thinking about the number we will weigh at the end.   But then when it gets hard, we want to quit.  Our motivations weans and we quit on ourselves.   What if we thought about the benefit of our goals along with the cost.  If we planned ahead for it to get hard.  And then we were willing to pay the cost in those moments.   Join me today as I take you through 4 questions to ask yourself as you are setting a goal that will help you stick with it during the hard times. 1 Timothy 4:9-10.  Keep going...don't quit because it gets overwhelming or frustrating.   Get my free video series to "Stop Overeating Today": https://www.leandramcmullen.com/opt-in   If you'd like to be part of a Christian community of women who are losing weight, click this link to request to join "The Christian Weight-loss Facebook Group"    https://www.facebook.com/groups/486364925426436 Find me on Facebook here:  https://www.facebook.com/leandra.mcmullen Find me on Instagram here:  https://www.instagram.com/leandra.mcmullen/
