    #201 - Why We Overeat in the Moment

    Have you ever planned not to overeat… and then done it anyway? In this episode of the Christian Weight-Loss Podcast, we explore why we overeat in the moment, even when our intentions are sincere. This isn’t a willpower problem — it’s about what happens in the emotional brain and nervous system when stress, fatigue, or overwhelm take over. Using the story of Peter denying Jesus, we look at how good intentions can disappear in emotional moments — and why that doesn’t mean you’re weak, undisciplined, or broken. You’ll learn: Why the emotional brain overrides logic in the moment How stress and emotions drive overeating and emotional eating Why overeating is a nervous system response, not a character flaw How Jesus restores Peter after failure — and what that reveals about God’s response to us after we overeat Why freedom with food starts with understanding, compassion, and preparation, not shame God doesn’t meet us with condemnation after overeating. He meets us with restoration — and helps us prepare for the next moment. Free Class + Support If you want help applying this, I’m teaching a free class on why we overeat and the 4 steps to stop overeating. We’ll talk about emotional eating, food urges, and how to prepare for emotional moments so you’re not relying on willpower alone.  JOIN FREE CLASS HERE You can also join the waitlist for my upcoming Christian weight-loss app for ongoing support, structure, and coaching.

    #198 - The Year of Building Evidence

    What if 2026 isn’t about trying harder—but about building better evidence? In this first episode of the year, we’re talking about how your brain looks for proof to support what it already believes—and how that’s been shaping your experience with weight loss, habits, and self-trust. You’ll learn why you’re not just observing your behavior… you’re reinforcing a story. And how, with intention, you can begin building evidence that actually serves you. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why your brain is always trying to prove you right How long-held beliefs shape what you notice about yourself A personal story that illustrates how changing a thought changes your experience How this shows up in weight loss and “falling off plan” A simple 3-step practice to help you build new evidence in 2026 Scripture Mentioned: “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7 “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2 The 3 Steps to Start Building Better Evidence: 1. Do a Thought Download Write your name or your weight at the top of a page. Write one sentence per line of everything your brain thinks about you and weight loss. 2. Notice Thoughts as Thoughts Practice saying: “Look at me thinking I can’t lose weight this year.” These are thoughts—not facts. 3. Build Evidence on Purpose Start noticing every time you: Stick to your plan Follow through Don’t quit after a mistake Stop making missteps mean something about who you are. A Word of Encouragement You don’t need a new personality. You don’t need more discipline. You need a new story—and the evidence to support it. As you think in your heart, so you become. App Waitlist CTA If you want help building this kind of evidence day by day, I have something coming that I’m really excited about.
