Growing up - being skinny was β popularβ, pudgy was not.β£
β£
I wanted to be liked and fit in so bad that the only way I knew how to be skinny was to eat less and exercise more.β£
β£
I remember the sleepless nights because I was SO hungry. But by morning, feeling victorious because I did it!β£
β£
I became such a pro that I was able to stick with it for some timeβ¦β£
β£
If I overate, I felt guilty. If I enjoyed dessert, I told myself Iβd have to βmake up for itβ later. Punishing myself with more exercise and low calorie food.β£
β£
Rice cakes was my main staple because they had βno fatβ.β£
β£
After time passed I started seeing/feeling the effects of my lack of knowing what to do: hair falling out, lost my menstrual cycle, developed a serious bone disease, I couldnβt think straight, my brain was starving and heavily fatigued.β£
β£
It got so bad I remember thinking to myself βI feel like Iβm dyingββ£
β£
Then.. I swear, it was a divine intervention..β£
β£
One day I was in West Vancouver, and I randomly look over to a windowsill of Mosaic Books to see a magazine cover reading βAlive Healthββ£
β£
It really caught my attention for some reason (probably because I literally felt dead)β£
β£
I went inside to read it, and came to realize it was the opposite of what Iβve been taught. So I thought βWhy isnβt this information out there?ββ£
β£
I then remember hiring a natural doctor at the time to help me. (We didnβt have nutritional coaches back then).β£
β£
It didnβt take long until I started seeing some results. There was no going back. Never.β£
β£
Now, over 20 years later I am so grateful for that moment.β£
β£
Fully reversed my disease, got highly educated through numerous serious degrees, and finally feel confident and energetic in my own body.β£
β£
Best part is, Iβm no longer a prisoner to my disempowering thoughts and now have food freedom.β£
β£
No more starvingβ£
No more deprivingβ£
No more guiltβ£
β£
Only pure health.β£
β£
Turning 58 next month, canβt wait to see whatβs next to come!β£
