Overcomers Philosophy of Food
Overcomers is a ministry that seeks to set people free from eating disorders through the power of Jesus Christ. We promote a non-judgmental approach to food, in which foods are not labeled as good or bad. For those struggling with eating disorders, this way of thinking about food can be very challenging. Eating disorders often create rules and beliefs about foods that categorize foods and lead to guilt and anxiety if these rules aren’t followed. The overall goal for recovery is for you to be able to enjoy a peaceful relationship with food.

The OVERCOMERS food philosophy stresses:
- Food does not need to provoke anxiety, guilt, or extreme negative or positive thinking.
- Food is energy for the body—foods should not be classified as good or bad, “healthy” or “unhealthy”.
- Regular exposure to fear or challenge foods is essential in decreasing the power these foods have over individuals.
- All foods are an important part of our diet. Dessert is just as important to have as fruits and vegetables.
- Eating disorders disturb the body’s hunger and satiety cues. Eating a variety of foods on a regular schedule is important for our bodies to relearn to trust internal hunger and fullness cues.
- Eating “off limits” or fear foods doesn’t automatically lead to weight gain.
- Feeding your body regular meals and snacks is what it is designed for and how it functions at its best.
- Trust your body to utilize a balanced diet filled with a variety of foods. Give yourself permission to eat.
- Eating food should be enjoyable. Eat food you enjoy in moderation.
Sessions can range anywhere from (but not limited to):
- Personalized Meal Plans
- Education and knowledge on nutrition
