123 - Life Unbinged with Kristy McCammon
In today's episode I talk to Kristy McCammon, founder of Life Unbinged. Most of Kristy’s life was spent being overweight and food obsessed. Unfortunately, food became her friend and comfort at a very young age. This set up a lifetime of dependence on food for every emotion; sadness, joy, fear, excitement, happiness, anger, boredom, chaos – you name the emotion and food was the answer. She was in a battle with food daily. She was either white knuckling her way to stay out of the food or was overeating and bingeing – there was no in between. No matter what she tried, she simply could not let go of sugar and flour laden junk food. It had truly become a stronghold in her life that kept her enslaved to food. The idea of moderation always sounded ideal – just one piece, just one bowl, just one slice, just one….. that never worked for her. Once she had JUST ONE, her brain was actively demanding more. She was in a place of desperation and her weight was the highest it had ever been.
She had an amazing husband of 25 years who loved her unconditionally, 5 amazing children, plenty of wonderful friends and family, and a loving relationship with God – truly a life that she loved, yet she could not get her relationship with food under control. She often prayed for God to deliver her from food addiction and take away all cravings for unhealthy food. She tried every diet and plan available. In past weight loss attempts, there was usually short term success, but eventually she was right back to obsessing over food and bingeing on sugar and flour filled foods. She began praying for a permanent solution out of this food obsession. She was ready to fully surrender! After one such prayer, she came across the idea of food boundaries. This is simply the idea of following boundaries in regards to food; no sugar, no flour, 3 meals a day, and measured portions. She DID have to eat food to survive, but DID NOT have to eat sugar and flour. She knew in that moment that her rescue boat had arrived and she just had to jump in and paddle! She began eating amazing, delicious, and abundant amounts of food. A lifestyle change, rather than a diet, was exactly what she needed!
Since then, she has released 150 pounds and gone from a size 28 down to a size 12! Her head is clear and all mental food chatter is gone! She can confidently say that she found food freedom and is FINALLY free from this burden of food addiction. Sometimes, living sugar and flour free is hard, but being obese and food obsessed was much harder! Now she can FULLY ENJOY the life that she has ALWAYS LOVED.
