‘But Ry, there are so many people who can help me with binge eating – why you?’
Because I get it.
Like, I realllllyyyy get it.
Here’s the cliff notes version of my story:
When I was 13, I saw a picture of myself I HATED and went on a mission to lose weight. And I did—a lot of it.
So much that…
– I lost my period
– my hair was falling out
– I was cold all the time
– my heart rate was so low it had to be monitored
And then my parents told me they were going to hospitalize me, and I FREAKED.
I ate as much food as I could get my hands on to prove to them I was okay. At that moment, I opened the gates to binge eating.
And no matter how hard I tried to get back to that girl who had so much ‘control,’ I felt more out of control.
From…
– sneaking food when nobody was looking
– going to the grocery store just to buy things to binge on
– ordering as much takeout as I could afford whenever I was home alone
To…
– spending 1000s of dollars on diets, weight loss programs, diet pills, juices, etc
Making it a few days of being ‘good’ until BAM *eat everything bc f-it I’ll start again tomorrow
🔄 and this was my entire life.
After 7 years of this, I literally couldn’t do it anymore. I hit rock bottom, and I hit it HARD. And went on a mission to find a way out.. and I did.
And now I am here to show you the way!
