Victory Over Your Sugar Cravingsનમૂનો

Find Your Why and ABC’s

I think we all know sugar is bad for our bodies.  Sugar can cause a multitude of health problems ranging from diabetes to heart disease and cancer.  Even though we know sugar is bad for us, we still consume a lot of it!  Did you know that sugar can also cause more mild symptoms including brain fog, fatigue, low energy, and lack of focus?  Do you want to end your dependence on sugar that you have used to find comfort or to make you happy?  Do you want to kick the sugar habit for good? Then this 5-day play is just for you. Stop making sugar the god of your life. There is only one true God, and He is the only one who can help you break your addiction! 

God wants you to succeed because He knows that sugar is keeping way too many of us from feeling our best. God needs us at our best to do His work here on Earth. It's time for you to have victory over your sugar cravings! 

God really does care about all parts of your life. God is here to help you with your sugar cravings. Take a moment to talk to Him and ask Him for help.  

Over the next 5 days, you will learn how important your mindset is to your success, how to find hidden sugars in foods, how your decisions determine your outcome, how to fight off temptations, and how ending your sugar addition is more about others in your life.

Each day you will watch a short video and receive a daily challenge.

The best place to start on this journey is to ask yourself why do you want to end your sugar addiction?  The first question to ask yourself is, “WHY”.  Why do you want to get rid of your sugar habit?  I want you to keep asking yourself a series of WHY’s.  For example…you might say, “I want to get sugar out of my diet to lose weight”. WHY?  Because I don’t feel good about myself right now.” WHY? “Because I don’t enjoy when family comes over” WHY? “Because I can’t get on the floor easily to play with my grandchild.” That is your WHY! You want to get sugar out of your diet so that you can spend quality time with your grandchildren and show them the love of God.

Motivation to change any habit or addiction is hard to sustain. Even when you figure out how to get motivated. You have to find your motivation over and over again. That is until you discover your WHY!  A strong enough ‘WHY’ can have the power to make you turn down a cookie or walk away from a birthday cake.

Prayer:

Father God, I come to you and ask for your help to set me free from this sugar addiction. I ask for your forgiveness in the way I have abused Your temple. Please help me gain self-control and motivation to fight my cravings.  Let me crave you and fill me with Your Spirit.  Amen

Challenge:

1. Ask yourself WHY repeatedly until you get to the root of why you want to end the habit of eating too much sugar.

2. Reduce your sugar intake to 24 g (or less) of added sugar each day.
