Living Life Unbinged with Kristy

We’ve all tried it.“I’ll just try harder this time.”“I’ll be strong.”“I won’t mess it up again.”And for a little while… it works.Until it doesn’t.In this episode, we’re talking about the truth behind one of the biggest buzzwords in diet culture and self-improvement: willpower and why it was never meant to be your source of freedom.Rooted in 2 Corinthians 12:9, this conversation reframes weakness, cravings, and temptation through a biblical lens. God isn’t asking you to rely on more discipline or self-control. He’s inviting you into dependence, the place where real freedom begins.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why willpower always runs out (and why that doesn’t make you broken)How food can become a “thorn in the flesh” that draws us closer to GodWhat to do in those make-or-break moments when cravings hitHow to pause, pray, and access God’s strength instead of white-knucklingWhy God’s power (not your effort) is the key to lasting changeIf you’ve ever:Felt frustrated that you “should be stronger by now”Used food to cope with stress, conflict, or exhaustionTried to muscle through cravings only to feel controlled by themBelieved freedom depended on more disciplineThis episode is for you.Willpower says, “I’ve got this.”God’s strength says, “Stay close to Me.”Freedom doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from relying deeper.Visit LifeUnbinged.com to learn more about food freedom, surrender-based tools, and the Life Unbinged plan.If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who needs hope today.

For so many of us, surrender sounds good in theory… but terrifying in practice, especially when it comes to food, weight, and control.In this episode of Living Life Unbinged, we’re talking about what biblical surrender really looks like, not giving up, not failing, but finally releasing control and letting God carry what we were never meant to handle alone.Rooted in Proverbs 3:5–6, this episode explores what it means to trust God in all our ways — including our appetite, our cravings, our bodies, and the struggle we’ve tried to fix on our own for years.You’ll hear:Why surrender is not weakness or defeat, but trust over strivingHow control (not lack of willpower) keeps us stuck in food obsessionA powerful picture of what it looks like to stop fighting God’s helpWhy surrender is daily, practical, and lived out meal by mealHow God uses loving boundaries to bring clarity, peace, and freedomIf you’ve ever:Tried to fix your food struggles on your own and felt exhaustedPrayed about “big things” but kept food and weight at arm’s lengthBeen afraid of what God might ask you to give upWanted freedom but struggled to let go of controlThis episode is for you.Surrender doesn’t lead to chaos — it leads to clarity. And when we stop fighting the One who’s trying to save us, everything begins to change.Ready to take your next step toward food freedom with God at the center?

For years, I had boundaries in every area of my life, my finances, my time, my relationships. But with food? Nothing was ever clear. I was always negotiating, making decisions on the spot, trying the next new diet plan. Without boundaries, food became my master.In this episode, I'm sharing the 5 simple but powerful food boundaries that God led me to, not as rules, but as guardrails that keep us on the road to freedom.The 5 Boundaries:Daily time in God's WordThree planned meals a day (no grazing, no skipping, no snacking)Measured portions (for clarity and peace, not deprivation)No processed sugar (quieting the cravings and food noise)No flour (breaking the addiction cycle)Here's the truth that surprised me most: Life became sweeter when the sugar was gone. Joy no longer came from chasing that next hit of sugar, it came from clarity, confidence, obedience, and mostly from Jesus.If you've ever:Tried moderation but "one" always led to moreFelt controlled by cravings and food noiseKnown you should cut back on processed foods but didn't know how to do it sustainablyFeared that boundaries would steal your joyThis episode is for you.God's boundaries always lead to peace. They fall in pleasant places (Psalm 16:6) and open the door to a life that is unbinged, free, surrendered, and truly abundant.Ready to experience food freedom?
