From Disordered Eating to Healthy Living

A simple decision to lose weight on 1 Jan 2005 left me with an eating disorder and a life of misery. I tried every diet known to man and competed in two Figure Competitions (2008/2009) and still couldn’t manage to escape the starve/binge cycle that saw my weight bounce up and down. I hated my body and couldn’t seem to find a way out of my self inflicted diet and exercise hell.

In September 2009 I finally faced up to my eating disorder and with some wonderful help and support I am now in recovery.

I now believe that self love is the only pathway to happiness and my body is a by-product of a healthy and happy lifestyle. I am working hard at changing my sense of indentity, my beliefs and my behaviours around food.

I hope that other women who feel trapped in the weight struggle find the freedom of living a naturally slender life.

I choose to take great care of myself in this moment right here, right now. I observe my thoughts and replace the negative with the positive. I listen to my body and eat food that gives me the most pleasure over the longest time. I move with joy and ease. I do what makes me happy and alive every moment of every day.

There is no time, there is no tomorrow, my life is not a giant countdown clock to the next event, I choose to be happy right now.

Achieving a fit, lean, healthy body is not the measure of success but the by-product of living a life of nurturing self care and self love.
