I was always a skinny girl, however when I went to High School I stopped doing any sports, I was not conscious of what I was eating and I started to gain weight. After a certain time it started to bother me, and I went through all the different kind of diets.
You don’t need much time to get into the habit to count calories all day long and then feel ashamed when you eat a piece of cake on Christmas Eve.
It takes so much time and energy out of our daily life to focus on what you should and shouldn’t eat.
I hadn’t made the connection between my eating challenge and the root cause of it, until I found the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.
My turning point was when I realized if I continued my eating the way I did, I would make myself sick. I was literally eating chocolate for breakfast and dinner. I ate so much before I went to bed that I could hardly move. I knew this was getting more and more serious, but I felt ashamed to tell it to anyone.
One day I was checking out the magazines in the local shop and I saw an article about a girl who had similar problems and she was talking about Eating Psychology and Mind Body Nutrition.
I immediately bought the magazine, ran home and went on the IPE website. I knew I found what I was looking for!
This was three years ago, and since then I do not follow any diets; I am not exercising to burn off the calories, but to feel mentally and physically ready for the day. I can keep chocolate in the cupboard without fear that I am going to eat the whole bar. I learned how to eat slowly, which was one of the hardest things ever. Cooking and baking became my passion.
I realized that food is not the enemy, but this challenge came to my life for a reason.
I needed to work on myself, and honestly ask what I really wanted to do with my life. I have never put myself at the first place and I wanted to please everyone. I was so scared of what people were going to say about me, that I wasn’t listening to my inner voice.
Authenticity is one of the most important value for me whatever I do, so now I can honestly say I couldn’t be more thankful for this eating challenge, as I would not be able to help others without this experience and journey.
First you always need to ask yourself, what is the root cause of your problem. Do you jump straight in and pay attention to the symptoms, or do you stop to consider whether there is a deeper issue that needs your attention? That is where it all starts.
I am a certified Mind Body Eating Coach who helps you to find the balance between your Mind, Body and Soul.
If you are experiencing emotional eating and over-eating, or if you simply cannot lose weight no matter what you do, I can assure you there is a way out. I have been there.
No diet will work for you if you don’t start to work on your relationship with yourself and with food. It is not only important what kind of food you consume, but also what kind of information you feed your brain with, and of course everything starts with your soul.
I firmly believe that beautiful souls deserve beautiful life, so if you feel like you are not on the right track with your life, don’t hesitate to contact me.
