Listen Later

đź“„ Episode Summary:

Are you stuck in indecision about what or how to eat?
Afraid to commit to a food plan because it might be the wrong one? Or worried you’ll regret the choice?

In this episode of The Christian Weight-Loss Podcast, we’re talking about how making a decision takes courage — especially when you’re afraid of failure. You’ll learn how to break free from the fear of choosing “wrong,” how to stop carrying regret, and how to move forward with peace, wisdom, and faith.

đź“– Faith Anchor:

Proverbs 16:3 — “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”
➡️ God isn’t asking for a perfect decision — just a faithful one. When you commit your choice to Him, He does the establishing.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

🔹 Why decisions feel scary:

  • Fear of making the wrong choice

  • Fear of regret

  • Fear of not following through

    🔹 Why food decisions are especially hard:

    • So many plans, and we want to pick the “perfect” one

    • Fear of restriction, failure, or quitting again

    • We delay decisions and stay stuck

      🔹 How to break free from regret:

      • Regret is optional — it's not the only story

      • You can always choose to learn, not spiral

      • God uses all experiences for your growth

        🔹 Courage over perfection:

        • You don’t need to be 100% sure — you just need to start

        • Committing builds clarity

        • Following through builds confidence

          🔹 When you choose a food plan:

          • Choose something sustainable

          • Try it for a set time

          • Don’t expect it to feel easy — expect to grow

          • Adjust if needed — without shame
