Ladies, we are on part two of an interview with Zach Lloyd. And if you missed last week's episode, be sure to go back and listen to that.
Last week, Zach gave us a sneak peek into the mind of what teen guys are thinking. This week, we're going to move on with our conversation and talk about emotional eating, or maybe we don't eat when we're emotional. Why do we do this? And what can we do about it?
Just to give you a little bit of a background of who Zach Lloyd is, he is a fitness and anti diet coach, and he helps a ton of ladies just like you. Overcome these obstacles that we are facing, including emotional eating. So let's get on with this conversation.

Ladies, this week we are getting inside the mind of a teenage guy.
Zach Lloyd is a fitness and anti-diet coach. As a teen guy, Zach was bullied quite a bit until he began to workout and get fit. He understood what it was like to be on both sides of the spectrum as a teen guy...someone who didn't fit in at all to someone who got a lot of attention.
He talks to us about how teen guys try to gain the attention of teen girls.
How the majority of teen guys are really insecure, even if they are fit and in shape. He also talks about how they deal with a lot of the same insecurities that we deal with and what we can do to overcome those insecurities.
This is a two part episode, so be on the lookout, because next week we dig more into emotional eating (or not eating), why we do it and how we can over come.

127. AMA: How do I Overcome Distractions and Temptations When It's So Hard?

Have a question you want me to answer on the podcast? Ask Here!

On this week’s Ask Me Anything Episode, Priscilla says, “I’m a homeschooler and I do all my school on my laptop, and I have a really hard time staying off other apps like YouTube. And no matter how hard I try and pray I just can’t seem to get over this. I want to live for God and do His will, but this is really hard to get over.”

Now, you may not be a homeschooler and you may not do school online, most of you are probably not even doing school right now, because you are on summer break, but I’m sure almost every single one of you can agree with me when I say that there are things that distract you from doing what you know you should be doing...either because we lack the motivation to do it or the willpower to do what we are supposed to do.

I mean come on, how many times have your parents said, “I thought I asked you to do...fill in the blank...can you tell me why it’s not done?” Or something along those lines...maybe you’ve heard, “how many times do I have to ask you to...again fill in the blank.” I’m sure we’ve all been there at one time or another!

Or how many times have you told yourself, I am going to read my Bible when I first wake up and then this little rectangle object...and I’m not talking about your Bible...is so enticing you can’t help but grab it. You tell yourself; “I’m only going to check my messages. I’m only going to see if I have any notifications”...and then one hour, two hours, three hours go by and you have totally forgotten about and ditched your Bible.

As I’ve said, we’ve all been there! A couple weeks ago, I woke up, got into my Bible, but got distracted and had to go back later to pray. Ugh...as Priscilla said, “No matter how hard I try and pray I just can’t seem to get over this. I want to live for God and do His will, but this is really hard to get over.” How do we overcome these distractions? Why are distractions so hard to overcome?

I want you to think about it this way, the enemy is constantly attacking our minds. If you are living for Jesus and the devil isn’t able to make you bad, his next trick up his sleeve is to get you distracted, because he knows if he can get you distracted, he will pull you away from God and then he will be able to make you bad.

The whole point of distractions is to hold you back and pull you down.

Check out this week's episode to learn how you can overcome distractions and temptations!
