#163 - Accepting Discomfort

What if the discomfort you feel when trying to follow your food plan… isn’t a problem to fix, but part of the process to embrace?

In this episode, we talk about the real reason we get stuck in emotional eating, quitting, or “starting over”—and it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because we’re not used to making peace with discomfort.

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “This is too hard.”

  • “Why can’t I stay consistent?”

  • “I just want this to be easier…”

This episode is for you.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

  • Why discomfort is not a red flag—but a sign of growth

  • discomfort is not danger

  • Where discomfort shows up in your eating and habits

  • How to respond to it instead of resist it

  • A biblical perspective on discipline and spiritual maturity

  • Tools to help you feel discomfort without quitting

📖 Scripture Highlight:

“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace…”
— Hebrews 12:11

🙌 Take This With You:

Discomfort isn’t failure.
It’s the pathway to freedom, consistency, and Spirit-led self-control.
You can do hard things—with God’s help.
