Why Does the Path to Peaceful Eating Feel So Difficult?!

Revelation Within On the Go!

Have you ever thought, “Why can’t I just get over this food thing already?” You’re not alone—I’ve been there too. In this honest conversation, we unpack why making peace with food and your body can feel so frustratingly out of reach. Christina and I share our personal journeys, from restrictive diets in our teens to obsessing over “good” and “bad” foods, and how early experiences shaped the way we view food and ourselves. It’s a layered struggle that many people face, and there’s so much more behind it than just willpower.

We dig into how the brain forms patterns around control and comfort, and how real change starts by addressing our thoughts, not just our behaviors. With insights from both neuroscience and Scripture—like Jesus’ reminder to “clean the inside of the cup first”—we explore what healing can truly look like. You’re not broken or weak; there’s a path forward grounded in gratitude, truth, and community. No matter how long you’ve wrestled with this, there is real hope for freedom and peace—with food, with your body, and with yourself.
