I suffered from anorexia and bulimia for over 20 years until I became pregnant with my son and desperate to finally get the help I needed to recover. Doors open for us when we are truly ready, and I was referred to a wonderful cognitive behavioural therapist who helped me to find the resources within myself to begin the process of finding myself.
That was 12 years ago and the nightmare of the eating disorder is far behind me. I now help others to find their way out of eating disorders and depression.
My aim is to enlighten others about the nature of eating disorders - that they stem from low self-esteem, and to encouage parents to teach their children how to gain and maintain high self-esteem and a healthy positive outlook.
My book - I beat my eating disorder, you can too is on sale at Amazon in kindle form. It is a step by step guide to recovery based on my therapy.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character .
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
