- I know, you may not think there's any way the scriptures talk about food boundaries. But you may be surprised. :) I believe having Spirit-led, God-inspired food boundaries is a wonderful replacement for the restrictive, toxic rules of the diet culture.

ABOUT ME:
I’m a former sugar addict & emotional eater who was known to binge, hated her body, and loathed the number on the scale. Finally, in desperation, I turned that whole mess over to the Lord and He healed me in a way I never thought possible. Now I’m passionate about sharing the message that Christ really can calm our minds, heal our bodies, and transform our health if only we’ll give Him a chance.
Hope you’ll join me in more videos!

Thank you for this message I am a binge eater due to emotional eating when stressed I have binged so badly that I ran out of money for a month I have saved this and will listen to it a lot Thank you so much ❤️ 🙏🏻
Alison, thank you for sharing your story. I know it helps others feel like they’re not alone ❤️ It’s just one day at a time, isn’t it?? And never letting go of the Lord’s hand, no matter how messy it gets 🙏🥰
Hi Jaci, I am so grateful for your channels going to be my saving grace! Please keep pouring into us and keep your channel going. The wisdom you’re sharing is directly from the Holy Spirit! I thank God for finding your channel!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Kathy. 🥲❤️ I’m so happy it’s been helpful!
What a breath of fresh air this is! The Lord has had me on a journey from discovering I had an eating disorder/mental torment with food constantly on my mind, to bring me healing. I actually already have gone through the book called Full (that I see you recommended) in my morning prayer time with the Lord over the past 4 months. I thought I was healed as I entered into this new year and coincidentally finished the book, but even tonight as I was listening to your videos I fell again and was in the middle of a binge 😢. I was doing so well too! It feels hopeless... At first I felt, 4 months ago, that the Lord wanted me to find balance in my eating and stop the extremities like doing Keto or going carnivore and eliminating food groups which just fueled my cravings for those restricted foods. But my real problem is sugar. I have done a sugar fast before but this time I tried to have balance. I lapsed and binged on sugar so many times while studying the Full book these past 4 months to a point that I now have learned and know that I do not feel my best when I eat sugar and I feel the Lord has organically brought me to the point where I know I need to set a boundary and tell myself no more sugar. Not to deprive myself, which was the mind set last time I fasted sugar , but as a lesson learned that it is just toxic and not good for me. 1st Corinthians 6:12 - I have the right to do anything, you say, but not everything is beneficial. I have the right to do anything, but I will not be mastered by anything....
That has become my go-to verse. Sugar has been mastering me and became an idol and it is just not beneficial to my life. After today's binge and hearing your message here, I really feel confirmation that it's time I do the 40 day sugar fast again, but this time I will extend it out indefinitely. I also do well with intermittent fasting where I also stop eating around 3 or 4pm. Most of my binges are at night so this has helped me tremendously. Last time I did the sugar fast was 2 years ago and I ended up going 6 months without sugar and did feel really good but I still felt deprived in my mindset wasn't spirit-led like it is now. Saying no to sugar, combined with a fasted lifestyle seems like the only way... And God brought me to this realization for myself. God bless you for taking your testimony and proclaiming it to help others for the glory of God! You have so much joy on you and you are a real pleasure to watch and gain wisdom/encouragement from!! What an inspiration that I CAN do all things through Christ, and you are living proof Jaci! 🎉🎉❤
Rebecca, thank you so much for sharing your story! 💖
It will bless others so much to know they’re not alone. Sugar can be so destructive for many of us. We want so much for moderation to be the answer, but the Lord called me to fast long term and it’s changed my life forever. 🙏😭 Just take it one day at a time and give yourself lots of grace as you work through this change 💕💕💕
I was thinking about your comment again this morning and wondered if you'd joined the 40 Day Sugar Fast Facebook group (they're fasting right now!). It offers so much support. Here's the link: facebook.com/groups/1769909659899118
@@JaciWightman I know! Everybody keeps telling me to find "balance"... Duh... I would if I could by now! Seems easy enough but I just don't know if that's for me, or how!
@@JaciWightman I don't go on Facebook BUT I did start the 40 day sugar fast 2 days ago, following the book. Welp... I didn't eat sweets for the past 2 days BUT I did just overeat a ton of homemade sourdough bread and butter. Like I'm so uncomfortable I feel like a pig! 😞. I think it's that time of the month, but still beating myself up for failing again. How quickly it went from sugar to now binging on carbs "instead". 🤔 That is a fairly newer thing for me. Satan really has me spinning. That must mean great breakthrough is on the other side of this! It's been too many years of trauma and now this food bondage, and I'm tired!! I'm gonna keep pressing in. I may invest in your mind and body reset course in the next few days (praying about it!) to aid me in this!
Oh please don’t beat yourself up!! Sugar and carbs are so addictive, and it takes time to heal your body, even with a faith-based approach. I do a lot in my Reset course to help you learn how to calm those physical cravings (if that helps you make your decision about the course). ❤
Thank you for this important message. I’m 51 and have loved food too much since my earliest memory and have been a binge eater since my teens. I have wrestled and wrestled with this concept. I have swung from boundaries to little or no boundaries. I resonated so much with your message. Thank you so much, it was an extremely helpful video. Bless you. 🙏🏻❤️🌹
Isn’t it funny how it sometimes takes a lifetime to figure this out? Even with the Lord’s help?? It goes so deep for so many of us. I’m so thankful He understands and continues to give us grace for the journey 💗💕
Oh, how this was needed for me to hear. It liberated me so much. ❤
So appreciate your vulnerability and coaching, Jaci. You're a God sent - praying for you, your family, and all you are doing. 🙏💞
Your comments are so sweet Sandra! Totally made my day ❤️🥰❤️
Thank you that was exactly what I needed to hear. Boundaries are huge. I guess sometimes u just feel the need to let loose. Just wished it was with something like exercising instead...lol
Haha right??? Why is it the unhealthy stuff that’s so tempting??? 😂😂
I'd been eating well for so long after a 40 year addiction to food. The Lord helped me so much but back in January my addictive habits came back. I'm not sure why. It's now getting so out of hand. I'm distressed, depressed and reaching out to God but I still find myself here, back into the horrible cycle of binge eating. Do you have any advice?
Your comment hit me so hard. It’s so tough to slide back into addiction and not know how to get out of it. All I can say is, focus all your efforts on clinging as tightly as you can to Christ’s hand. It may be slow going, but He will be faithful in helping you find your way out-one small step at a time 💗🙏
Excellent information!!!
😊❤️
Just found you today and It was just what I needed to hear. Thank you.
❤️🙏😍
Hi Jaci I absolutely loved that message ! So enlightening! I need to set boundaries but I do not trust myself with those boundaries 🤔 How do you know when it's too strict or not enough .... I mean I ve been dieting my whole life so I can't recall how many times I have set boundaries following a diet or another and after a while realizing it wasn't sustainable because too restrictive or the other way around not enough and then O started to gain weight again!!! I am now afraid to even try and find out I can't keep them ... I can't fail another time ... What are healthy sustainable boundaries? How will I know? Need help here 😢 Thank you!
I know, this is the TOUGHEST area for those of us with food issues. Just start praying about it. A lot. Let the Lord take over (especially if you’ve failed a lot in this area.) Let Him guide your mind and help you implement some baby steps a little at a time. I’d be more specific but we all have different needs and only He knows where you need to start ❤️🙏
@@JaciWightman Thank you for taking the time to answer! This means a lot! I am praying and I know He will answer 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

What are your thoughts on OA?
It helps support my boundaries
I don’t diet but I have three meals and three snacks
At first I thought OA was ungodly but for me it helps me? What do u think?
I have a good friend who’s been really successful with OA. I absolutely think the Lord would support that choice if you feel like it keeps you in a good place. (I’m guessing He’s even the one who led you there. 😊) Since we still have to eat every day, some of us need solid structure to stay free of addiction, while some have a little more wiggle room. The Lord works in many ways and this may be His perfect way for you 💗
What do you do when you have exercised self control the best you can but have to be on medicine that unfortunately changes your metabolism and has the dreadful side affect of weight gain? UGH, sister. The frustration is real and menopause stinks. I worked so hard to maintain my weight for over ten years, then BAM. 🙄🤪 I’ve tried to give myself grace and accept where I’m at, but I already struggle with body dysmorphia. HELP! 🙏☝️
Yessss menopause 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I hear ya girl. My body in my 50’s has definitely taken some acceptance. I wish the point of this channel was that the Lord will change everything about our body just the way we want Him to. But you’re right, it’s more about Him helping us give ourselves grace. You’re on the path. All you can do is keep handing the whole mess over to Him. ❤️❤️❤️
@@JaciWightman YES AND AMEN, SISTER! My gaze is forward. 🙌💞
