About this audiobook
*I'll Start Again Monday is a newly revised and condensed version of Lysa's bestseller Made to Crave.*
Have healthy eating plans left you feeling defeated? Based on her bestseller Made to Crave, Lysa TerKeurst offers a new perspective to all those stuck in the cycle of losing weight and then gaining it back, equipping you with the deeper spiritual and emotional motivation you need to make lasting changes.
So often we characterize our food cravings as bad, especially when dieting has made us feel even more disappointed and discouraged. But the reality is we were made to crave. We just need to realize God created us to crave more of Him instead of misplacing that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures and unhealthy choices that will never truly satisfy. In the midst of her own personal struggle with this, New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst invites us to embrace a new outlook that leads to enduring change. In this newly revised and condensed version of Made to Crave, Lysa encourages you to
- Break the cycle of "I'll start again Monday" and start taking steps toward consistency that lasts.
- Stop agonizing over numbers on the scale and make peace with your body.
- Replace rationalizations that lead to failure with wisdom that leads to victory.
- Reach your healthy goals and grow closer to God through the process.
This is not a "how-to" book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This is the necessary resource to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose that will help you find your "want to" and lead to a spiritual satisfaction that goes far beyond the physical.
Look for additional biblically-based resources and devotionals from Lysa:
- Forgiving What You Can't Forget
- It's Not Supposed to Be This Way
- Uninvited
- You're Going to Make It
- Embraced

The author shares her personal experience and I guess that is nice for some people to feel like someone relates to their situation. But that's about as far as it goes. This is not professional advice and often times painfully superficial. It just deals with symptoms, but not with the root cause. There are much more helpful resources out there if it comes to emotional eating behavior, such as 'The Emotional Eater's Repair Manual' by Julie M. Simon. If you are looking for an easy read with personal stories and engaging anecdotes you might enjoy this book. But if you're looking for help and want to go deeper, search elsewhere. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Wow is the first thing I can say. To be able to connect my struggles with food, and consequentially weight gain, with scripture was so powerful. To see my struggle as an all out attack is a completely different perspective. It’s so EASY to forget that we are not fighting any battle if this world, it is a spiritual one. I bought the hard copy while listening to this because I wanted to be able to go directly to specific scripture when I need it. I just finished listening and will start it again tomorrow. Thank you for this book Lysa! - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5
