#192 - Eating Triggers - How to Take Your Power Back


Listen Later

In this episode, we talk about eating triggers — those moments, emotions, or people that make us want to eat when we’re not physically hungry. You’ll learn how to pause, name what’s happening, and watch your urges instead of reacting to them.

You’ll walk away knowing how to:

  • Recognize your unique eating triggers

  • Feel urges in your body without fighting or fearing them

  • “Become the watcher” — calm, curious, and in control

  • Partner with the Holy Spirit for strength and awareness

    1 Peter 5:8 (NIV)

    “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

    How it applies:
    This verse reminds us to stay alert — not afraid, but aware.
    That’s what we do when we notice our eating triggers. We stay awake.
    We see what’s really happening instead of reacting automatically.
    Awareness is spiritual strength.

    💬 Theme connection: “Becoming the watcher.”
    When we’re alert and of sober mind, we recognize urges for what they are — temporary thoughts, not commands we have to obey.

    Breakdown:

    • Be alert: Stay aware and mindful of what’s happening in your body and thoughts.

    • Be of sober mind: Keep a clear, calm, and disciplined mindset — not led by emotion or distraction — so you can recognize danger before it pulls you in.
