You're not alone. So many of us have been stuck in this exhausting cycle. But what if there's a better way?

Have you ever found yourself saying, I can't keep
00:00:03
fill in the blank in the house because I'll just eat it all. I
00:00:07
can't trust myself around that food. Or
00:00:11
maybe you find yourself like swearing off certain foods
00:00:15
only to then find yourself obsessing over them. They are
00:00:18
constantly on the forefront of your mind, just like almost
00:00:22
begging you to say eat me, like have this food
00:00:25
right? The thing is, is you're not alone. This is really
00:00:29
what we call that deprivation mindset that when
00:00:33
we restrict certain foods, we're actually giving it more
00:00:37
power. We're actually feeding and fueling the
00:00:40
attachment to that food and it
00:00:44
becomes forbidden and it becomes extra special, making us
00:00:48
crave it even more. And then when we finally give in, it
00:00:51
just leads to overeating, feeling, feeling guilty. And
00:00:55
the cycle repeats. Maybe this is where you
00:00:59
find yourself. This is exactly what we're getting into in today's
00:01:03
episode. We are talking about learning how to break free
00:01:06
from that guilt and making peace with these foods that
00:01:10
tend, that tend to lead you into temptation. Or
00:01:14
they're the very foods that you give up lint after lint after
00:01:18
Lent, and you really walk away from the Lenten
00:01:21
season not having made any sustainable changes or
00:01:25
only craving this food more. Today is all about how you
00:01:29
can actually break this cycle and why Lent is the
00:01:33
perfect time to go ahead and make peace with these foods.

Welcome to Nourish to Bloom, where every day is a sacred
00:03:10
invitation to thrive. Hey, there. Welcome back
00:03:13
to the Nourish to Bloom podcast. I'm Kara Trocte,
00:03:17
your host here with you, and so happy to be spending the
00:03:21
day with you and diving into a topic that I feel like
00:03:25
so many people wrestle with. This was really something that I struggled
00:03:29
a lot with. Feeling guilty around
00:03:33
the foods that I was eating and then, you know, really believing that the
00:03:36
only way to not eat these foods was by swearing them off
00:03:40
or giving them up during Lent, but then never feeling like I
00:03:44
could actually stick with it or make any process
00:03:47
or progress. So that's what we're really talking about today, is learning how
00:03:51
to break free from that guilt cycle around food and
00:03:55
really learning to make peace with food and why this
00:03:58
peacemaking process is such a really
00:04:02
good thing to dive into during the Linton season. And this is
00:04:05
part three of our Linton series
00:04:09
as we, you know, talk today about how we can enjoy food with
00:04:13
gratitude rather than restriction. So I want to start off
00:04:17
by asking you a question. What foods
00:04:20
do you feel guilty about eating? Or
00:04:24
what are the foods that you feel like? You say, I can't keep this in
00:04:28
the house because I can't trust myself around it.
00:04:33
I want you to think about that for a moment. Is it
00:04:36
sweets? Is it chips?
00:04:40
Is it pasta? Maybe it's a whole food group,
00:04:43
like carbs, or maybe it's fast food.
00:04:48
What is that that you feel guilty for eating? Or what is it that you
00:04:51
feel like you can't trust yourself around? I mean, if you need some help,
00:04:55
think about what are the foods that you thought you wanted to give up for
00:04:58
Lent? Because that really gives you a clue as to
00:05:01
maybe what are these things that you feel like you have this. This
00:05:05
unhealthy attach. And now I want
00:05:09
to challenge you. How could you approach these
00:05:12
foods with freedom instead of guilt
00:05:17
if you felt free from these foods, right? If you knew that
00:05:21
you could enjoy this food when you wanted to, but it didn't have this hold
00:05:24
over you, like, maybe it does now? Why would that
00:05:28
change in your life for you? What space
00:05:33
would open up for you? So
00:05:36
today we're going to explore exactly why we feel guilty about food.
00:05:40
What's kind of the science behind that? Food guilt. And how
00:05:44
when we restrict these foods or give these foods up because
00:05:47
we think that that's the best way to not want or desire
00:05:51
these foods anymore, how this restriction actually increases our
00:05:55
cravings and how you can actually start to make peace
00:05:59
with all these foods. And why Lent is a really good time of year
00:06:02
to do this. And we're also going to spend some
00:06:06
time and, and start with a reflection on First Timothy
00:06:10
4, chapter 4, verse 4 through 5.
00:06:14
And in that scripture, it tells us that for
00:06:17
everything God created is good and nothing is to be
00:06:21
rejected if it is received with thanksgiving because it is
00:06:25
consecrated by the word of God in prayer.
00:06:29
And just really highlighting that first part, right? For everything God created
00:06:33
is good. Now
00:06:37
I know that when we look at some of these foods that we may have
00:06:40
these attachments to or that we feel guilty for eating, they're not,
00:06:44
you know, the things that are in the purest form, but
00:06:47
they are these things that we do have these attachments
00:06:51
to. We, you know, find ourselves wanting
00:06:55
these things more, maybe from a texture or a flavor
00:06:58
profile. And when we, when we, you know,
00:07:02
fall into that deprivation mindset where we feel like we have to restrict
00:07:06
this food because it's the only way that we won't eat this food,
00:07:10
it actually gives that food more power.
00:07:13
It makes us more attached to that food because we
00:07:17
have in this instance said, well, it's forbidden, I shouldn't have
00:07:21
this. It's. And we've given it extra special
00:07:24
power. And so then we kind of inherently want to have it, right?
00:07:28
It makes us crave it even more. Think about, right, like when somebody
00:07:32
says, don't push the red button, what do you want to do? You want to
00:07:35
push the red button, right? And the same thing happens with
00:07:39
food. We swear it off or we give it up and we put
00:07:43
it on this pedestal and it becomes very novel, it becomes very special, and
00:07:47
we crave it even more. Then when we finally give in,
00:07:51
we overeat, we feel guilty,
00:07:54
and you know, we rinse and repeat that cycle over and over
00:07:58
again. But first, Timothy remind reminds us that for everything God created
00:08:01
is good, that everything, including the foods that we
00:08:05
enjoy, are a gift from God to be
00:08:08
received with gratitude and Thanksgiving. But what
00:08:12
diet culture has done is it's told us that certain foods are
00:08:16
bad. And in so, in doing so, it, it,
00:08:20
it kind of twists that even more. It plants like a deeper
00:08:24
root, a deeper thought in there that, that you start to believe you
00:08:27
eat this food that is quote unquote bad, that you are a bad
00:08:31
person. And I want you to think about
00:08:35
that, because how many times have you said, oh, I was so bad today because
00:08:38
I ate so and so, right? We don't even realize that there's
00:08:42
that little thought that comes in there that we associate
00:08:46
how good or bad we are based off of what we are or
00:08:50
aren't eating. But we have to realize and remember that that is not
00:08:54
the divine truth, that our worth, our
00:08:57
dignity, our, you know, God's love and, and the grace
00:09:01
that he bestows upon us is not something that we have to earn, and it's
00:09:05
not something that is dependent upon what we are eating
00:09:08
and what we are not eating, right? So
00:09:12
let's take a little. Let's take a minute and let's get a little bit deeper
00:09:15
into this deprivation setup, because this is really that science
00:09:19
behind why we feel guilty about food. And so this
00:09:23
is what happens when we label foods as off limits.
00:09:26
We say, we're not going to have this. We give it up for Lent. Or,
00:09:30
you know, we, you know, swear it off at any other time. And
00:09:34
we do okay for a minute, right? We are like, okay, I can do this.
00:09:37
I'm. I don't want that food. I. I am doing okay. And then
00:09:41
a couple days go by and maybe you make it to two weeks, right? Like,
00:09:44
where are you now in whatever your Linton fast was? Are you
00:09:48
still sticking with it or are you finding it more and more difficult,
00:09:52
Right? But when it comes to food, when we swear it off
00:09:55
and we do okay for a little bit, we start to kind
00:09:59
of think about it more, right? That craving pops
00:10:02
up and this food has become elevated to something special.
00:10:06
It's something that we feel like we shouldn't have, but we then really,
00:10:10
really want it. And we experience these
00:10:13
intense cravings and maybe these obsessive thoughts,
00:10:17
right, where this, this food is just kind of running through our mind all day
00:10:20
long. And then eventually, like, we just
00:10:24
can't take it anymore, right? We. We believe that it's a lack of
00:10:28
willpower and we just give in and we eat the food.
00:10:32
And oftentimes when we give in, that, that one time,
00:10:36
it leads us to eating this in excess. We overeat
00:10:39
it, or we, like, open the door to eat all these other
00:10:43
foods that we believe we shouldn't have.
00:10:47
And then the guilt sets in. And this leads us to that feeling
00:10:51
out of control around food. We feel like, wow,
00:10:54
I can't control myself around these foods. And we start
00:10:58
all over again. By saying, okay, I need to just not have it, it leads
00:11:02
to more restriction. And then we're just rinsing and repeating the
00:11:06
cycle over and over and over again. And once
00:11:09
we have that food roll that is broken, like I said, we
00:11:13
tend to go all in. We think, you know, I already messed up, I
00:11:17
already broke the rule, I might as well eat more or I might as
00:11:21
well eat this other food that I can't, I can't have or I
00:11:25
shouldn't have. And we tell ourselves, it's okay, I'm gonna eat it while I can,
00:11:28
and then the diet starts over tomorrow or I'll start again
00:11:32
on Monday. And this is scientifically known as the what the hell
00:11:35
effect, right? Where we just kind of threw caution to the wind and like, you
00:11:39
know, what does it even matter? I already messed up, so what does it even
00:11:43
matter? I'm just gonn keep eating, I'm going to keep doing this
00:11:46
thing. And then we feel awful and we
00:11:50
recommit to that restriction, convincing ourselves that we just can't be
00:11:54
trusted. But really the problem isn't
00:11:58
the food, it's the rule itself. You could take
00:12:01
this and you could apply this to any food whether you deem it good or
00:12:05
bad. And if you try to restrict it, the same thing is going to
00:12:08
happen. So it's not necessarily the food that's the problem.
00:12:12
It's the rules that we have around it. It's the,
00:12:15
the way that we label it, right? It's the way that we, we
00:12:19
see it. It's that relationship and how we view it,
00:12:23
that perspective of that food. But
00:12:27
the key is, is that when we learn to make peace with these foods,
00:12:30
we actually can temper our
00:12:34
attachment to it. We can
00:12:38
make an informed decision in a moment as to whether or not we want to
00:12:42
eat this food or not. And we actually take
00:12:46
back that power. We don't just, you know, hand it
00:12:49
over and say, okay, well, here you go, right? We can actually
00:12:53
learn to temper that attachment and have a
00:12:57
healthy relationship with all foods where we're
00:13:01
not on this binge restrict, binge restrict cycle over
00:13:04
and over and over again, right? Because that's what it is.
00:13:08
It's like being on a seesaw. Like imagine this. You are on
00:13:12
a seesaw. You're going up and down, up and
00:13:15
down, up and down, up and down. And what's the only way to get off
00:13:19
the seesaw? Well, you, you know, it take, you
00:13:23
know, if, if the other person gets off the seesaw, you're gonna go flying, right?
00:13:26
And if you get off the seesaw, the other person's gonna go flying,
00:13:30
right? And so you feel stuck because you just. You just. It
00:13:34
feels like you can't win no matter what, or you can't get off the seesaw
00:13:37
no matter what because you don't have the right tools. So you're on this
00:13:41
seesaw. And when you're restricting, when you're
00:13:44
being quote, unquote, good and you're not having those foods you feel like you shouldn't
00:13:48
have, the deprivation is high. The want
00:13:52
is high, the desire is high, but the
00:13:55
feelings of guilt is really low because you're being
00:13:59
good. But then you eat that food and the guilt starts to
00:14:03
rise, and you feel like you need to get back on track,
00:14:06
right? So that guilt rises, the deprivation is low. And
00:14:10
so then you, you know, say you feel like you need to get back on
00:14:14
track and you start all over. And it's just up and down, up and down,
00:14:17
up and down. Well, the only way to stop
00:14:20
this restriction and guilt cycle is to just
00:14:24
get off the seesaw, to stop playing. You know,
00:14:28
you be the one to get off and let diet, culture, the guilt, the
00:14:32
restriction, the deprivation, all of that, just, you know, let it go sky
00:14:35
high. And you make peace with
00:14:39
food by giving yourself unconditional permission to eat
00:14:43
without guilt. Now, hear me
00:14:47
when I say this doesn't mean that you don't eat without wisdom.
00:14:51
It doesn't mean that you're not honoring both your cravings and
00:14:55
your body's needs. It means that you're taking
00:14:59
this wisdom, you're understanding your body,
00:15:02
you're understanding your body's needs, you're understanding your cravings, and you're
00:15:06
honoring both of those. It becomes this integration
00:15:10
of wisdom and making informed food
00:15:13
choices that not only nourish you, that not
00:15:16
only, you know, fuel your body, that feel good
00:15:20
in your body, but they also satisfy you mentally,
00:15:24
right? Because you're eating things that you are enjoying.
00:15:29
And so this is what that looks like, right? When you jump off the seesaw,
00:15:32
you are combining your internal wisdom, that gift that God
00:15:36
has given you to be able to make those food choices that are
00:15:39
satisfying and nourishing to you. And that looks different for
00:15:43
each one of us. The foods that satisfy and nourish me may be something
00:15:47
that's very different for somebody else, because each one of our bodies has
00:15:50
unique and individual needs, and each one of us has
00:15:54
unique and individual food preferences.
00:15:58
And so this is why making peace with food really
00:16:02
is the perfect thing to do during the Lenten season, more so
00:16:06
than giving it up. For Lent, because for many
00:16:10
of us, diet culture has become entangled with our
00:16:13
Lenten season because we view it as a time of giving
00:16:17
up food in an attempt to be able to exercise more self
00:16:21
control. But what happens is year after
00:16:24
year, we give this food up for 40 days
00:16:28
and maybe it stinks and we struggle and then the
00:16:31
40 days is over and we go right back into the habit of maybe
00:16:35
overeating it or being obsessed with it,
00:16:39
right? And we, we say, okay, we get to Lent the next year and we're
00:16:41
like, okay, well, I'm going to give up chocolate this year because I just can't
00:16:44
trust myself around chocolate. And if I just don't eat it, then I'm not going
00:16:47
to want it. Well, what happens at the end of Lent,
00:16:50
you likely still want chocolate and you likely go on a
00:16:54
binge of it, right? And so year after year, this approach leaves us feeling just
00:16:58
more obsessed with food instead of more at peace with
00:17:02
food. Rather than drawing us closer to God,
00:17:06
it can lead to, you know, more frustration and guilt,
00:17:09
and it fosters and fuels that unhealthy
00:17:13
relationship with eating. But when we choose to
00:17:17
make peace with food instead of constantly restricting it, we
00:17:20
experience freedom in three key areas of our life.
00:17:24
First, mental freedom. Because we stop the
00:17:28
exhausting cycle of obsessing over what we can or can't
00:17:31
eat. And thus we're freeing up more mental space
00:17:35
for more meaningful pursuits. Mental space to really
00:17:39
discern where the Lord is calling us, the things that he wants us
00:17:43
to do, the way that he wants us to share our gifts.
00:17:47
Number two. Physically, we become free because we
00:17:50
learn to nourish in our bodies in a way that truly
00:17:53
satisfies. Rather than swinging between deprivation
00:17:57
and overindulgence,
00:18:00
we just really find that moderation. We temper those
00:18:04
attachments that we have, and we are just using that internal
00:18:07
wisdom combined with our individual preferences to make food
00:18:11
choices that are satisfying and nourishing. And then
00:18:15
spiritually, when we make peace with food, it allows us
00:18:19
to shift. We're no longer focusing on food rules.
00:18:23
And it opens us up to really turn our attention to
00:18:26
trusting God, to honoring his design
00:18:30
for our bodies, and then practicing gratitude for the
00:18:33
ability to nourish our bodies with what he has
00:18:37
provided for us. And so this line, I invite you to
00:18:41
reflect on how making peace with food, finding
00:18:44
this freedom, tempering these attachments,
00:18:48
making peace with the foods that you feel guilty for eating or that you feel
00:18:52
like you can't control yourself around, if you were to make peace with these
00:18:56
foods, would you have more sustainable and
00:18:59
a more faith filled approach to nutrition,
00:19:03
to your health and wellness than by simply giving it up for 40
00:19:07
days only to then return to those old struggles.
00:19:11
And so during Lent, this time of
00:19:15
fasting and, and giving
00:19:18
things up, I, I invite you to fast from food shame and
00:19:22
from food guilt. Instead of judging what you were eating, learn
00:19:26
to practice gratitude. Learn to connect with your
00:19:29
body and, and say, you know, what is it that my
00:19:33
body is wanting today? And then honoring that, instead of feeling
00:19:37
guilty or shameful for what you're eating, approach it with
00:19:40
gratitude. Be thankful for the food
00:19:44
that you have to eat, for the body that takes care of
00:19:48
you, the body that allows you to do the things that are important, meaningful
00:19:52
to you, and for the nourishment that it, it
00:19:55
provides and that all of these are a gift from God.
00:20:00
And then we can also incorporate the pillar of almsgiving, because
00:20:03
as we reflect on, you know, breaking free from that food
00:20:07
guilt, we can, you know, turn that attention outward.
00:20:10
Instead of the time spent obsessing
00:20:14
over food, we can use it to really
00:20:18
turn our attention to someone else in need. And
00:20:21
so this week, I challenge you to maybe buy someone's coffee or
00:20:25
pay for someone else's meal, or donate to a ministry
00:20:29
that provides food to those in need. We can
00:20:32
learn and use this as an opportunity to shift our focus from
00:20:36
restriction within ourselves to generosity poured
00:20:40
outward. And this all comes from truly
00:20:43
stepping into that food freedom. So if you're like,
00:20:47
all right, Kara, this sounds great, I like this idea of making peace with
00:20:51
food, but how do I start? Well, first it starts with
00:20:54
giving yourself permission to eat all foods.
00:20:59
And this starts with becoming aware of what are the rules that you have around
00:21:02
food? What are the things that you say I can't eat or I can't have?
00:21:06
What are the foods that you feel guilty for having? And then understanding that that
00:21:09
is exactly where the work is, is going to happen. Inviting
00:21:13
the Lord into that work to help you heal that
00:21:17
relationship and heal those attachments, and
00:21:21
learning that when none of these foods are off limits, those
00:21:25
foods are going to lose its power over you and
00:21:28
it's going to open up that space for the Lord to come in and work
00:21:32
in your life. Number two, pay attention to
00:21:35
how food makes you feel. When you eat
00:21:39
something, take a minute to reflect. How do you feel after eating
00:21:43
this? How do you feel 30 minutes after it? How do you feel an hour
00:21:46
after it? Are you hungry again two hours later? Is it
00:21:50
causing you to feel bloated? Is it causing an upset
00:21:53
stomach? Right. Pay Attention to what you are eating and how it makes
00:21:57
you. You feel how it feels in your body. And use that as your
00:22:01
guide to start choosing foods that are satisfying and nourishing for your
00:22:05
body. Number three, letting go of
00:22:09
the idea that food defines your worth, y'all. Eating
00:22:12
a cookie doesn't make you bad, just like eating a salad doesn't
00:22:16
make you good. No food
00:22:20
is going to get you into heaven if you eat it right. We've
00:22:24
been, you know, we are marketed superfood after
00:22:28
superfood and that, you know, everybody is just looking for the magic pill to
00:22:32
be healthy, to lose weight, yada, yada, yada, on and on and on. We have
00:22:35
to remember that it's the
00:22:39
state of our soul that is more important, right? And
00:22:43
that God loves us unconditionally
00:22:47
and that what you are eating does not make you any
00:22:51
holier than anybody else. A cookie doesn't. Eating a
00:22:54
cookie doesn't make you bad, and eating a salad doesn't make you good.
00:22:58
Food does not define your worth. And then
00:23:02
for practicing gratitude, when you
00:23:05
feel those feelings of guilt start to creep in because of something
00:23:09
that you ate, use that as a moment to pause
00:23:13
and to thank God for that moment of awareness, but then also
00:23:16
to thank him for the food that you have been able to eat
00:23:20
and the joy that it brings. That food was meant to be
00:23:24
nourishing and pleasurable. That God created that, created it
00:23:27
that way. I mean, think about, if food didn't taste good, would
00:23:31
we really want to eat it? Probably not. So by God's
00:23:35
design, to ensure that we are feeding our
00:23:39
bodies, because he knows that our earthly bodies need that nourishment, he
00:23:42
designed food to taste good,
00:23:47
y'all. Breaking free from food guilt, it is a
00:23:50
journey. It's gonna take time. It's gonna
00:23:53
take God's grace and it's gonna take trust. But
00:23:57
you have to remember that God created food to be enjoyed, not
00:24:01
feared. That he created you to
00:24:05
live in freedom in all areas of your life,
00:24:09
including around food. So this week, I encourage
00:24:13
you to reflect on how you can step into that freedom. What does that look
00:24:16
like for you? And what does that allow in your life? As we
00:24:20
wrap up today's episode, I want to remind
00:24:24
you about our fasting from diet culture, our 40 day
00:24:27
