I’m currently committed to a daily time of going through each ‘lie/emotion’ exercise to familiarize myself w/ the process & strengthen those ‘muscles’ so they’ll be strong when my willingness is weak. ### 5/5 — Such a great tool to have found this *2024-01-04, version 2.1.0* God knows I need this app. Thank you for making it free, making it accessible and so chock full of the truth that sets us free from lies ### 5/5 — Perfect tool to engage in mindfulness *2023-11-17, version 2.1.0* This is a perfect accompaniment to mindfulness and other therapy techniques.

This app is a powerful tool to reach the truth of what I believe. ### 5/5 — You need this. *2023-05-30, version 2.1.0* If you need encouragement, guidelines and insurance, and a main focus, then this is the book for you whether you have it as a kindle book paperback book, it will be very helpful. The app is even more helpful because you can pull it up at any moment, when you are struggling, and can find encouragement in God’s word and wisdom. ### 5/5 — So helpful *2023-05-21, version 2.1.0* This app is simple, straightforward and filled with nuggets of truth. When you feel like your emotions are sabotaging your eating, you can turn to this app like a voice of reason or a trusty friend. I have just started using it, but I can tell it's going to help me snap out of those moments less and less. ### 5/5 — Grateful *2023-05-16, version 2.1.0* Unbelievably grateful to have a resource like this on my journey toward a closer relationship with God. This app has been essential in my weight loss journey. ### 5/5 — This is what I needed *2023-04-19, version 2.1.0* My weight loss journey has been going on for so long that it feels like par for the course. Two months ago I was at my all time heaviest. I had been feeling such despair and rejection in life. Feeling stuck. I’m a big podcast listener so I googled Christian Weight Loss and found this podcast. Barb, you’re changing my life. I’m also seeing a nutritionist and between following my plan, and learning how to renew my mind and truth journaling I’ve lost 31lbs with no signs of slowing down. While I’m still a ways off my goal, I’m learning how to love myself all over again. That’s healthy for me, my marriage, my family, and pleasing to God! Highly recommend this podcast and all of her content. Thank you Barb! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-04-19, version 2.1.0* Love this app really makes you stop and think why you’re eating ### 5/5 — Encouraging and helpful app *2023-04-15, version 2.1.0* This app has been so helpful in addressing the true issues of my reasons for overeating. Replacing lies with God’s truth is something I’ve known about but wasn’t sure how to incorporate into my weight loss journey. This app gives me practical steps to take to overcome my biggest obstacle…’myself’. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2023-04-05, version 2.1.0* This is such a helpful app to learn to fight the battle of food being in its proper place. I’m very thankful for this help in training my mind to think rightly about eating. ### 5/5 — Christian Emotional Eaters *2023-03-24, version 2.1.0* I didn’t know how much I needed this. I have lost 30 lbs in 3 months, but I still struggle with emotionally eating. Barb’s app is amazing and if you have not yet, please take a look at her website and listen to her podcast. One of her podcasts with Jennifer Slattery blessed me tremendously when I had a really tough day. I love that everything in her books, podcasts, and videos are tailored to the Believer. I’ve tried every worldly book, system and method. But her content is super encouraging and you absolutely will not regret it. ### 5/5 — Super Convenient *2023-03-22, version 2.1.0* I go to my book I Deserve a Donut daily. But while at work, when I need to renew my mind about all the randomness things that come up, I go to this app for renewal! Thanks Barb! ### 5/5 — Absolutely perfect *2023-02-04, version 2.1.0* Exactly what we need at our fingertips to overcome. Praise Jesus for giving Barb this task to help us all. Thank you Barb for responding to our need ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Good advice but I object to the bible verses *2017-07-21, version 2.1.0* I was impressed by the app until I saw the bible verses at the bottom of each section. For an app than encourages people to take control it's ironic that there's a religious undertone to it. Not helpful. I can do this without god. ### 4/5 — Wish the subtitles had a bigger font *2021-07-12, version 2.1.0* I love this app it’s powerful and just so good. I just have middle-aged eyes and I can’t see the subtitles on the lies section. I can’t really see which one applies to me the most. Please make this a bit bigger and thicker and it would be perfect! ### 4/5 — “Missing Link” for Weight Loss—the spiritual component *2019-04-01* As an RD, LDN, (registered/licensed dietitian), I meet many patients/clients who know WHAT to do, they just don’t know HOW to have the strength/willpower to do it. Christ is the answer, but patients/clients don’t understand how this, how their faith, applies to weight management/health. This is an area in my own struggle as well as in my patients/clients weight/health struggles that is often overlooked or looked at as “taboo” to speak about, but it is MOST essential! This app can be easily shared with patients/clients, friends/relatives, to give them practical help for weight management and also as way to introduce them to Jesus Christ or help them to grow in their walk. “For what will a man be profited, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul?” (Matthew 16:26) “...for bodily discipline is only if little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:8 Thank you for this app, books, and other help that points to Him through one’s health journey! ### 5/5 — Life changing *2026-01-10, version 2.1.0* This App is a blessing and life changing! Easy to use and because it's on my phone I always have it with me. ### 5/5 — Amazing tool *2025-12-12, version 2.1.0* This app is so useful and handy to help heal and direct the heart to Truth all day long ### 5/5 — Great help for me *2025-09-10, version 2.1.0* I believe Barbara Raveling has a gift for writing and expressing facts, thoughts, and feelings that I can immediately relate to and understand. AND, she writes everything pointing to God as the source of all power and strength. Grateful to have come across this app and the book it’s based on. Keep up the great work, Barbara Raveling!! ### 5/5 — Helps me reset a bad day *2025-08-23, version 2.1.0* Very thankful for this app. I use it to help reset my thoughts in general, even when I’m not struggling with food issues, when I can tell I’m thinking self-focused or angry thoughts. Whenever I think “How would my mom gently call me out and point me back to Jesus?” This app does exactly that. ;) Thank you, Barb and your app development team! ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2025-07-23, version 2.1.0* This is by far the most helpful tool for proceeding my overeating due to stress. The questions, Bible verses and wisdom are so eye opening. Truly has blessed me. ### 5/5 — A great reminder *2025-07-07, version 2.1.0* This is a great way to remind yourself of the truth. The app discusses various types of lies that we tend to believe & counteracts those lies with practical and Biblical truth. ### 5/5 — Excellent Food for Thought *2025-07-06, version 2.1.0* Excellent journaling questions, Bible verses and tips. Thought provoking reminders that what I choose to put in my mouth (and WHY) matter. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great resource! *2025-04-13, version 2.1.0* I love Barb’s podcasts and books. She provides terrific insight and wisdom from the Word. I’m very grateful for her ministry! ### 5/5 — Simple, but Powerful *2025-03-17, version 2.1.0* This app is set up so simply, but answering the questions within it will bring you personal power in gaining control over your habits. ### 5/5 — Such an amazing resource!! *2025-03-10, version 2.1.0* I use the book more than the app, but the whole mind renewal thing has completely changed my life. I use these questions and these new principles in everything, not just my eating now. It’s been helping me even now with dealing with my dad being sick and in the hospital. I am super grateful for Barb Raveling. 🙏🏼 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
