How I overcame my binge eating nightmare…

____________________________

Just in case we’ve never met before, allow me to introduce myself…

Hi! I’m the girl who struggled to lose weight for 20 years and was never satisfied with her body.

It didn’t matter how much weight I lost, I never really believed I deserved to be “that girl”. You know the one? She’s slim. Happy. Eat’s what ever she wants and never gains a kilo? Yeah… THAT one.

So, because I knew I couldn’t be “HER” and because I couldn’t stand being ME, I would eat. And eat. And EAT.

No prizes for guessing how that story ends (insert an enormous booty and a sad face emoji here)

I took a long hard look at my dieting history and believe me, it was not pretty.

Years and years of bingeing. Overeating. Under eating. Over exercising. Cleanses. Detoxes. Fasts. Portion control. Fear. Self loathing and disappointment.

The whole thing was one giant mess.

It took me a while to come to terms with it, but eventually I settled on THREE NON NEGOTIABLE’S

Thing One

If being “skinny” meant I had to count calories and stress over every morsel of food that passed my lips for all of eternity, then “skinny” was not for me.

Thing Two

I wanted to be comfortable and feel good in my body, no matter what size that body decided to be.

Thing Three

I wanted to love myself through the whole process. Binges, cellulite and all.

Change can be hard. Essentially we are creatures of habit. Break our routines and we get a little antsy in the pantsies. So (unlike all other attempts I had made to “change” myself before) I took it sloooowley. I was kind to myself (Yes, kind! What a novel concept!) and I did NOT berate myself or hate myself when I stumbled along the way (which you KNOW I did lol!)

You are the only one who can decide your direction.

Belief in yourself is not a FEELING. It’s a CHOICE.

Don’t ever settle for less than you deserve. Don’t let your desires and actions contradict each other. We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are. It’s time to move on.

Sometimes you just have to let go and see what happens. All you need to do is let go and TRUST.

You have a few superpowers up your proverbial sleeve, the first of them being that you can DECIDE to love and accept yourself and your body right now on the way to where you’re going. And honestly, as long as you’re feeling good about your choices, who CARES what the number in the bathroom scale says?!!

Do what’s best for YOU.

Eat what works for YOUR body.

NOT a diet that worked for someone else (unless you’re recently undergone a lobotomy and have no brain. In that case, definitely do what someone else tells you to do)

If it doesn’t feel right, if you have to force yourself to do it, then leave it alone. That’s your body’s way pulling you back to reality.

We need love. We need acceptance. We need nourishment. And not necessarily in that order.

If you’re truly-rooly ready for change, if you’re finally done with hating the body you see in the mirror every morning, if you really want to be more than a lobotomised robot that eats diet food all day, then you neeeed to know about Ditch the Diet Bootcamp.
