Give yourself grace. You messed up, made a mistake, and turn back around. That's the awesome thing about God - He is never far.
In this inspiring episode of the Faith Over Addiction podcast, Kristy McCammon shares her powerful journey of overcoming emotional eating through faith and surrender to Christ. As a lifelong Christian, Kristy struggled with binge eating and food obsession, finding herself trapped by the false comfort of processed foods. Despite knowing Jesus, she realized that making Him Lord over every aspect of her life, including her relationship with food, was essential for true freedom.
Kristy's story begins in childhood, where stressors and home life challenges led her to use food as a source of comfort. This habit persisted into adulthood, manifesting as compulsive eating and hiding food consumption. She candidly discusses the realization that food had become her captor and the pivotal moment when she decided to surrender her struggles to God. Kristy's transformation involved embracing God's grace, understanding her identity in Him, and setting healthy boundaries.
She emphasizes the importance of turning away from temporary comforts and leaning into God's strength to create a life filled with love, grace, and hope. By doing so, Kristy was able to reclaim her joy and peace, not only for herself but also for her family and community. Tanya Gioia, the host of Faith Over Addiction, echoes Kristy's sentiments, encouraging listeners to rise up and embrace their worth in God's kingdom.
Tanya shares tools and truths that have changed her life, offering support and guidance for those on a similar journey. This episode serves as a call to action for Christian women seeking freedom from addiction's chaos. By trusting in God's plan, embracing His truth, and setting boundaries, they can reclaim their identity and create a safe, loving space for themselves and their loved ones.
Listeners are reminded that nothing changes until something changes, and today is the day to step out in faith and make a difference. Kristy and Tanya invite everyone to share this episode with friends in need of hope, and to leave reviews that help other women find this pathway to freedom.
