Freedom from the turmoil around body, food, alcohol and exercise.

“I began dieting in my early teens because I didn’t feel like I fitted in when I started high school. At the time I was a perfectly healthy weight and loved sport. I lost a lot of weight by drastically restricting my intake. Initially I was praised for how good I looked - but then it became about being in control and I was obsessed with losing weight. I had no energy or joy through my teenage years. I was deeply depressed and still didn’t fit it but I was very thin! In fact, I was in and out of hospital with anorexia. The anorexia morphed into bulimia. The binging meant that I gained enough weight that everyone thought I was “better”. I was far from better! I stayed at a “normal” weight but I was consumed by self-loathing and shame from my loss of control when starving myself inevitably led to binging and vomiting.
I thankfully recovered from the cycle of binging and vomiting in my early 20’s when I met a wonderful man who eventually became my husband. I think his love and support, despite seeing me for who I really was, helped a lot.
However, I still didn’t develop a healthy relationship with food and weight. For the last 30 years I have gone through cycles of trying to eat perfectly and attain a goal weight at the lower end of the “healthy weight range” for my height. I have tried so many diets some with success where I have reached my “preferred weight” - (probably unrealistic and aligned with fashion magazine ideals). But I can’t maintain this lower weight and the old obsessive diet thinking comes in and robs my life of any joy. So I give up restrictive eating because I don’t want to live a life of obsessing over food. I gradually gain weight to the upper end of my healthy weight range and feel miserable and the obsession to lose weight returns. I am so tired and sick of this cycle. I have lost and gained around 15kg several times over the last 30 years.
Lyndi’s approach is a breath of fresh air and I am feeling optimistic about finally achieving freedom from the turmoil I’ve felt around my body, food, alcohol and exercise. Thank you Lyndi for the way you are sharing this information to make it as accessible as possible to large audience!”
