The Mindset Makeover- Overcoming Guilt and Shame Around Food

Romans 8:1 says, “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” 

Here are three ways to Shift your mindset around food shame and guilt

• Food is fuel, not punishment.
  
  
  
• Healthy choices are celebrations of stewardship, not restriction.
  
  
  
• Indulgent choices don’t erase progress—they’re part of life.
  
  
  

Instead of thinking, “I failed,” try:

• “I’m learning. I’m growing. I can start fresh at the next meal.”
  
  
  

I’d like to share 5 practical shifts you can implement today that will help you move from shame to grace.

1. Forgive Yourself – One indulgent meal doesn’t undo your progress.
   
   
   
2. Plan Ahead – Balanced meals reduce last-minute choices that trigger guilt.
   
   
   
3. Focus on Gains – Track what you gain: energy, health, strength—not what you restrict.
   
   
   
4. Pray & Reflect – Invite God into your eating habits and ask Him for peace.
   
   
   
5. Shift Your Language – Replace “I shouldn’t eat that” with “I choose to honor God with this choice.”

 “Lord, thank You for Your grace that frees us from guilt. Help us honor You with our food choices, finding joy and peace in the process. Teach us to eat with intention, gratitude, and love for our bodies. Amen.”

Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?
