Maybe you could add the abstinence prayer to the list of prayers? I say this one every morning, and it includes Steps 1-3 in one prayer. The words are:
God, today is a new day for me, and with your help, it can be a day of abstinence. I ask for your protection in case at any time during the day, my desire to overeat is greater than my desire to abstain. I also ask for your protection from anyone or anything that may interfere with my abstinence. I know that I am powerless over food. I believe that you will restore me to sanity. Please help me to know your will for me today and give me the willingness to carry it out. I turn my life over to you. Amen.
