Great Show! Food addiction is real. For me, it was a spiritual illness. 70 pounds gone for 2.5 years so far. Don’t give up. ❤
I've learned at 65. my body is a temple for the Holy Spirit. it's freeing.
I loved this but...don't think enough was said about how adopting new eating habits doesn't mean you enter into a lifestyle of deprivation or lack of enjoyment. You CAN EAT healthy AND enjoy your food. It's partly retraining your mind to enjoy foods that are more nutritional and being aware of portion control. I wish they had talked about how healthy food really can be DELICIOUS!!
Yes!!! It IS actually what are bodies will truly crave if we replace the addictive garbage food with Gods real food👍
Yes!!! 😊
Exactly!!! 🙌🏼
I think the main things she mentioned were around not focusing on the food, as with a preoccupation, but trying to refocus on other things like devotions, the other guests at a get together , etc.
You are supposed to read the book, there is not enough time to be able to explain the whole book.
Thank you for this! I've been doing smoothie detoxes for about two yrs now. I'm so trained now and I never thought I could say no to stress eating. 20 lbs down for over a year now!
I can totally relate with being bored as a stay at home mom. Especially with us only have one vehicle. We are stuck. It’s hard, but I’m thankful I have the opportunity to be the one taking care of my children and loving on them ♥️
I was there recently. I'm so sorry it is very very hard.
I slowly got gym equipment for in the house.
First I got just a stepper, just the little feet peddles. Then got the dumbbells, you don't have to spend $200 - just get a bar and 5lbs at a time.
Some posters for dumbbell exercises and watched Athlean X videos on youtube.
I hope this helps you. It's so hard being alone all day with kids with no car. But, you're doing God will!
God bless you!
@@velvetturtles thank you ♥️
Embracing home making by making a beautiful home environment gives some challenge!!! It helped me!! Set beautiful tables!! Surround yourself with beautiful things!! It doesn’t take a lot of money, just inspiration and creativity.
@@velvetturtlesWhere did you get the poster?

I also give myself the opportunity to eat whatever i want, but just 2 or 3 small bites. So basically if i go to a gathering with food, i can taste everything i want to, i just don't eat a whole serving.
Overeating is the most acceptable sin in the Church. Alcohol, drugs, and porn use are all behaviors more often confronted than is using food to comfort our souls. And it can destroy relationships just as easily as the aforementioned idols.
Yes....
You are right. I don't think I've ever heard a sermon on overeating.
@@vernaharris4700 a lot of pastors can’t preach on it because they themselves are over eaters.
It was food used in the temptation of Eve then Adam. Thank you for addressing this subject of eating. It has encouraged me to make some decisions!
Work has been so stressful for me. All of the points Amber brought up are great...quiet time with God, exercise for stress management, casting our cares...as I have my prayer, Bible, journal time with God this morning I will cast my care about my work day on Him. 🙏🆙️
AMEN and HALELUJAH!! The Church is dying and as sickly as the world. We need Pastors, Godly leaders and missionaries to finish well and run the race in health and wholeness. Thank you for airing this...much neglected message but extremely timely.
Loneliness is a big trigger and it’s daily if you live by yourself and not that outgoing. It’s mixed with stress from having to handle everything yourself. Food is your best friend for relieving loneliness and stress. But it’s so temporary and you just have to eat more and more.
When I’m with others I don’t really want to overeat. So that’s not a problem then. Living with a relative I lost weight without even trying to. I had someone to talk to about anything, fun stuff or something I was going through at the time. Loneliness and stress was lowered. Then when back by myself I overeat again. It seems I go a bit crazy if I don’t use food to get through the loneliness. The stress makes me feel frozen in place so I can’t do anything except eat lots of carbs.
You did not mention loneliness. I know you have a family so that is not your trigger. Not sure if that is in your book but it should be. There are so many people living alone and not liking it.
I know how that feels since I have been staying alone for a long time now. Food has been my go-to thing and of course tried to defend on people also. Later on I realised that no matter how easy these options night seem to you, unless you are anchored in the Lord, there is an underlying restlessness all the time. Spending time with Him and being obedient is the only thing that has ever worked for me. Not saying that it is easy to get into that stage, struggles are there but once you get there, the going is smooth. Praying that you find comfort and rest in Him. ❤
@@gishamathew570 excellent viewpoint. "Underlying restlessness" -- perfect description.
"Anchored in the Lord" -- praying to be transformed to this
Perhaps try journaling, to write out those cares down…they say writing versus typing is better for you.
This came across my feed today. Wow...i needed to hear this. Ive been really struggling lately and turning to food to cope. 3 years ago i was at my lowest weight and ive gained almost all of it back. I need to make a change. I'm starting today!
I have been a fan of Amber for several years. I appreciate her relatable approach, whether it's to parenting or being healthy. I bought this book on pre-order. It kick started a healthier lifestyle for me. It's practical and simple to implement but like any change, it takes discipline.
Needed this message, thank you Lord 🙏
Food is medicine.
Eat to live
Don't live to eat
Amen
It is also social fellowship though. Eating a meal together with family or brothers and sisters in Christ is breaking bread and not just medicine. He will use it for our health but this is not the only purpose.
while i understand what she is saying 100% i feel like biblically though food is not solely for fuel, it is also meant to be something that unites us and we all enjoy together in a celebratory matter. in heaven there will be a “feast” or “banquet” at weddings in Jesus time even there was a feast . breaking bread is more than just for nutrition. we can honor God and enjoy eating food.
Absolutely I thought of this also.
Agreed! Eating healthy is the goal, but there are times when you make exceptions. Ect: weddings, birthdays
Si!!! 🙏💛
I didn't listen past that point because I didn't agree with that statement alone.
The food in heaven will not be BBQ chicken and salads… it will be full of carbs😂 if you don’t believe me look at how they eat in the Bible. Of course, they didn’t make cookies, Pie, ice cream, and garbage like that.
There is nothing wrong with eating ice cream, chips, chocolate etc. The KEY is moderation. You must eat healthy foods, get full, then later have a.snack. walk. Exercise, stretch. Drink a lot of water.
Thank you so very much !! Amber, you spoke to me tenderly, and my hope is that you also touched the hearts of many others who are ready to hear your helpful, wise counsel as someone who was divinely lead to share your journey and write about solutions!! Grateful 💞
It's crazy that I'm at 4 kids now... Promised I wudnt put on weight again and what do you know.... I'm back in the same routine. I relate to almost everything Amber is saying. I'm so grateful UA-cam popped this up on my feeds. I'm rewarding myself so much I'm getting too big. My kids are 8, 6, 2 and 6 months old. I have already identified why, now I need to be active in the kitchen is closed and pick up my Bible!!!! Gona buy the book. It's gona help I'm sure!
Great interview!
Many Latin cultures are going to need the "renewing of the mind" Lord help us! 🤦
😜😂🙏💛
Lol😂
this is just what i needed! sharing it with my family! Thank you!
I can def relate. Thank you Amber.
Thanks for this program! I need more of this...more programs about this topic!
Thank you for this!! I needed to hear this and be encouraged today!!
Thank you, I think it’s my day 1🙏🏼 Lord help me.
Oh my gosh! Feeling you don't have a purpose! Her story is my story!
🎉🎉yesss you’re moving literally like an artist 🎉stroking a painting on a canvas 😂beautifully ❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 😊
Great segment!
This is a “deny” approach. Most foods can be cooked in an extremely healthy way, like zucchini noodles in lasagna. Look up the THM plan.
I Will be Back on Sunday (if they don't have rerun)!
Look in the Trim Healthy Mama eating plan in their books.
I feel all this and don’t eat horrible and my husband says I don’t overall either but cannot loose weight unless I eat salad.
Well, eat salad.
I don't agree with the reply because I don't think you should be stuck with just salads. Anyway, there could be many factors with that. Age, hormones play a big role, exercise, time of day you eat, protein, ect...might be helpful to talk to a Christian nutritionalist
How can we buy the book? Watching from Indonesia
Thanks for listening to our program, Regina. To purchase Amber's book titled Food Triggers, please visit our online store: bddy.me/3acURSY. You will, however, need to check out as a Guest. God bless!
Thank you for watching from Indonesia 🇮🇩. I hope you were able to get the book :-) maybe you could buy in digital format too. Then you can have all your books with you all the time :-) but hard to share when you want to bless others.
I just love to taste sugar 😮
Hallelujah amen lord lord
Maybe in América people are dying of over eating bu seriously there are a lot of countries that have no food!! America too. So show me statistics where did u get that information?
People have been eating ice cream for hundreds of years 😂everyone has something they attach to. .
Is this optavia based?
Thanks for your question, Cristina. Optavia is not mentioned in this program. Blessings to you!
Even though optavia is not mentioned... on her fb page it is very clear that is the mlm she "Coaches" with. Focus on the family has given a platform to push that mlm
@@anastasiahicks9451 not sure you can rightly say they've "given a platform" for that. That's a tad accusatory. If that's what she uses in her coaching but it's not mentioned in this interview, then that's fine.
It may not be mentioned in the program, but this is her method and you are by association leading people to this harsh and restrictive eating plan which is harmful and irresponsible. If you don’t stand behind Optavia you should make a disclaimer about it.
I love ice cream
FOUR Boys???!!!
