Can the Bible help me with my food struggles?

Have you ever felt stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of overeating, yo-yo dieting, and obsessive thoughts about food?

Whether you feel defeated by your lack of self-control or overwhelmed by thoughts and longings for food, the answer to our food fixation does not lie in the $500 billion global diet industry.

This is not a diet book and it’s not a healthy eating plan. Because at the core, our problem is not really what we eat. It’s why we seek fullness in something that will never satisfy.  

Join Asheritah Ciuciu as she shares honestly about her own battles with food and reveals the path to freedom. You’ll discover the joy of living free from food fixation so you can experience deeper satisfaction in Christ, gain a renewed sense of purpose, and yes, even enjoy good food (without regret).

A healthier relationship with food through a stronger relationship with Christ—that’s the goal of Full.

Includes a quiz to help you find out if you have food fixation, plus practical strategies for overcoming it.

Review

Asheritah beautifully lays out a spiritual battle plan for those struggling over a fixation with food. Full is the reminder that your soul was made to crave God above all else!

LYSA TERKEURST
New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries


It just takes a few paragraphs to sense that Asheritah is a friend. I saw myself in her stories and I think you will too. This book will help you become more aware of your relationship with food while driving you closer to Jesus, the true Bread of Life.    

ARLENE PELLICANE
Coauthor of Growing Up Social: Raising Relational Kids in a Screen-Driven World


“Wow. She really gets it.” Page after page, I spoke those words aloud as I read this important book. If you have ever struggled with food, this book is for you. In Full, Asheritah thoroughly dismantles the lies we believe about food—and about ourselves—and then points us straight to the truth we find in Jesus. This book will set a lot of women free, and it will stir up within them a holy hunger.

JENNIFER DUKES LEE
Author of The Happiness Dare


Equal parts practical and inspiring, Ashertah Ciuciu balances the perfect blend of soulful encouragement and real-life application. Diving straight into the heart of the matter, Full is a book any woman who has struggled with a food fixation needs to read.

RUTH SOUKUP
New York Times Bestselling Author of Living Well, Spending Less and Unstuffed


This is not a simple book on how to eat right and lose weight. Asheritah’s fine research into the psychology of food fixation and the biblical and spiritual roots of this preoccupation is captivating. But she doesn’t stop there. She surveys the biblical perspective of God’s gift of food and how to celebrate and serve others with food. An incredibly uplifting and hope-filled book.

WILLIAM E BROWN
Senior Fellow for Worldview and Culture, The Colson Center for Christian Worldview


This book isn’t only about food; it’s also about worship. Full is a refreshing guidebook to a help reframe your relationship with food as you draw closer to God. With practical solutions and gentle encouragement, Asheritah reminds us of this truth: food is a gift, and worship happens around a table.

DEIDRA RIGGS
Author of Every Little Thing and One: Unity in a Divided World


After reading Full, I am convinced that it is a vital resource for all Christian counselors to help individuals and groups break free from food fixation and grow deeper in their walk with Christ. Asheritah compels readers to explore and uncover the spiritual and emotional roots of food fixation while also providing practical application steps toward health and wholeness. Full is refreshingly honest and compassionately convicting, addressing a topic that I have yet to hear preached from the pulpit in twenty-plus years of regular church attendance and yet one that every soul is hungry to hear.

ANN MARIE APONTE
The Professional Counseling Group


If your relationship with food has been a battlefield for you, and if you would like to take a biblical approach in pursuing victory, then you should hit pause on your diet while embracing the mindset shift Asheritah unpacks in Full.

ELISA PULLIAM
Author of Meet the New You: A 21-Day Plan of Embracing Fresh Attitudes and Focused Habits for Real Life Change; owner of KaleoAgency.net


Full is the perfect blend of scriptural truths and practical applications exposing the mental battle we are engaged in. Going beyond food fixations, Asheritah teaches us to embrace the truth and transforming power found in God’s Word. Christian women need the encouragement so carefully penned here. I am so thankful Asheritah wrote Full and grateful for the battle plan found within the pages of this book.

YUKIKO JOHNSON
Women’s Ministries Coordinator, First Baptist Church, Minot, ND


Every now and again a woman is brave enough to shine the light, full and revealing, into the darkest recesses of her own heart, with the hope of illuminating the same sin-tendencies bound up in the murky corners of other people’s private lives. That is what Asheritah Ciuciu has done in the pages of Full. As readers follow along on her journey to understand each misplaced craving, they can’t help but come face to face with the only One who can ever truly satisfy their own deep hunger!

WENDY SPEAKE BRUNNER
Coauthor of Triggers and Life Creative


This book is a must-read for all those eager to break the chains of food fixation once and for all. Embark with Asheritah on a life-transforming journey from guilt, shame, and defeat to the freedom of finding true, sustaining satisfaction in God.

MICHELLE DERUSHA
Author of 50 Women Every Christian Should Know and Spiritual Misfit: A Memoir of Uneasy Faith


If you struggle with “food fixation” like I do, Full is a must-read. It’s vulnerably written, wonderfully practical, and it clearly points to the One who will always satisfy us more than our favorite comfort food.

ASHLEIGH SLATER
Author of Team Us


Through Scripture, practical encouragement, and personal experience, Asheritah will lead you on a journey toward the true satisfaction, deep contentment, and lasting freedom that can only be found in Jesus. You will not regret reading this book.

I appreciated Asheritah's friendly and honest tone throughout this book. She shares her life examples that led her to understand the dangers of food obsession. What I really appreciated is that she didn't give any recipes or food suggestions. She even mentioned that eating healthy can become an idol. Other topics she discussed were emotional eating and feeling compelled to eat because food is offered even when you aren't hungry. The best part of all was that she always brought the reader back to the fact that we need to find satisfaction in God and she gave many helpful ways to do that. She offered online resources at the end of each chapter, but I did not utilize them so I cannot comment on them. Overall really solid and helpful book.

I loved how great this was at reframing and talking through re-thinking about food and different food and body thoughts. It was mirroring what my therapist was telling me so it was a great tool for reinforcement. The layout and format are great to reference as needed and for refreshers. I highly recommend this if you are dealing with food or body concerns and prayers for you in your journey.

I’m 54 years old and I’ve never even heard of food fixation. I was thinking that my husband and I needed to be closer to God. This book fell in my lap and I feel so blessed. Don’t ask me why I didn’t think my food weakness’s were important enough to ask God for help. I realize now that I can bring all my problems and my weaknesses to God. Love this book

5.0 out of 5 stars Food Doesn’t Give You Joy - That’s God’s Job
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2019
Verified Purchase
Food has always been a happy thing for me – read: comfort food. So, that means that every time I get serious about my eating and cutting back on snacky food and sweets, it makes me feel deprived and sad. My self tells me that I’m giving up on happiness. God has used you to remind me about the true source of happiness and joy, and it’s surely not from food.

Here are some of my aha’s:

- God loves to give good gifts, including the beautiful colors and textures and tastes of food. Enjoy it, just not as much.

- Food is part of the creation. Worship the creator, not the creation

- If I want to eat something, but recognize that I’m not actually hungry, use that realization as a cue that I may be looking for comfort. Talk to the Lord about it and recite one of the memory verses to remind myself that he is with me and that he loves to give me his peace, hope and joy. Ask him for strength and lean into him. Then go love on someone.

- Recently, I completed Jen Wilkin’s study on the book of Exodus. God used your reminder of 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 to make me think about the comparisons between the meticulous care required for the tabernacle “for glory and for beauty”, and the care I should be taking of my body/temple. The high priest wore a turban with a gold plate attached to it that read “Holy to the Lord.” We’re now a royal priesthood. Because we are in Christ, we are Holy to the Lord. I need to take seriously the care of this temple that is holy to the Lord, rather than casually grabbing whatever snack I want from the shelves in the grocery store aisles and in my pantry. This is different from food fixation in that I’m not trying to eat perfectly to make myself holy, but rather recognizing that because of this grace in which I stand, I should be a better steward of the body that God has provided for me. It’s an amazing body. Take care of the gift!

Since I’m 63 years old, and have not been serious very often about what I eat and how to take care of my body, that’s a lot of years of habit to undo. I have to remind myself over and over and over and over again God's truths regarding food and satisfaction in him alone. Having you in my ears as I walk the mall in the mornings has been really helpful.

Dear Asheritah,
I am enjoying your book immensely and have recommended it to several friends. I am learning so many nuggets of truth. The questions on page 19 were very thought provoking. I would really like to see it as a Bible study in our church. To be free from food fixation forever would be a miracle and I believe in miracles. I have hope! I'm asking the Holy Spirit to train me to make the right food choices.
Last year I did the 40 day sugar fast, which is where I found a reference to your book. Thank you for writing this book.
Update - I finally started a weight loss Bible study at my church. We have 6 members so far who are reading your book and holding each other accountable.
Thanks again.

So I dont write reviews often, but this book had me from the beginning.
As a new student of the Bible and God's teachings, this book was easy to understand and apply to everyday life. Each morning I read a chapter, highlighting passages that stood out and completing the questions at the end of each chapter.
I've applied so many of the suggestions in this book to my daily life, I am forever grateful.
It has been such a blessing to finally read something about food related issues that isn't a diet book.
I can't thank the author enough for her honesty, practical advice and most importantly, for introducing me to a new deeper relationship with God.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Annihilate the bigger-than life struggle that has haunted us for so long."

“What we’re about to embark on is a journey of learning to rely on God’s power to do for us what we can’t on our own: annihilate the bigger-than life struggle that has haunted us for so long. And He delights in fighting this battle for us because it brings us closer to Him.” – Asheritah Ciuciu

Have you ever wondered “What is wrong with me? Why can’t I win this food battle once and for all?” This resource helped me to understand.

How many “diets/plans” have you attempted in your life…for those trying to lose and others seeking to be healthier? Yet, there is always another method/process/plan. The bottom line is that we are putting too much weight on the issue. (Couldn’t resist the pun.) In all seriousness, we create in food an idol. Whether we focus on chocolate or kale…there is just too much emphasis, time, energy, and thought placed on something meant to be nourishment. I am praying that “Full. Food, Jesus, and the Battle for Satisfaction” continues to teach me to fix my heart on Christ instead, for He has already won.

In "Full," Asheritah offers solid, biblically sound instruction to help readers learn to lean on God instead of the scale. LOVE the free, interactive bonus features woven throughout the book: videos, lock screens to download for mobile devices, and charts/graphs/journaling pages. They provide great support and encouragement - make the experience deeper.

*I received an advance copy in exchange for my honest opinion...then purchased another on Amazon and seven more from Moody Publishers. * Like potato chips, once you taste one – you can’t stop. Wait. You can stop munching the chips; “Full” teaches you how!
