With help from Samantha and HFH, once I created awareness around these pain points, I was able to begin healing them. I have made a lot of progress in accepting myself–every part of what makes me, me. I trust myself more, so it’s easier to make decisions and share my ideas with others.
I’ve also created an image of myself in my head that isn’t centered around a skinny body.
Although I went through a few transformations during the process, I’ll never forget the power of learning to express myself. Not wanting to stand out, be different, be ‘difficult’, or be seen caused me to hide myself.
In reality, my true self wants nothing more than to shine brightly and share my ideas, gifts, and beliefs with others. I slowly realized that I spent most of my life shaming and covering up important parts of myself. Releasing these habits allowed me to embrace my whole self and be truly honest with everyone.
I feel more confident in how I live, dress, speak, and act. I feel like a completely different person. Without spending most of my mental and emotional energy thinking about food, a world of opportunities revealed itself.
I have spent more time and energy building my blog, exploring different styles, and speaking my truth to the world. I write about topics I never thought I could share in a public forum. I now see how valuable self-expression is.
If you’re ready to completely heal your relationship to food and your body FOR GOOD, then this is truly a lifetime investment. I never want to go back to how I was before, and I now have the tools to find my way through future challenges.
