Disordered Eating

For years, I just couldn't figure out "what was wrong with me?".   I would have periods where I was really "strict" with my diet and loose a bunch of weight, but it was short lived.  I would then have times where I would eat TONS of food, usually unhealthy, greasy, sweets...and lot's of them.  My weight was constantly fluctuating, up and down.  

I never realized that there were other people that had similar problems, until I got involved in the VAST Beachbody Community!  I realized that I wasn't alone.  I realized that I had a form of "Disordered Eating".  That it was something I could overcome and that I didn't have to be "all over the place"....forever.  Hence my journey to find balance.   I AM SEEKING HEALTHY BALANCE.  In my eating, my exercising and most of all,  the way I treat myself.  

In 2013, Binge Eating Disorder was added to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5).   Read this description of Binge Eating Disorder.  Can you relate? 

I'm on a mission to LEARN how to eat normally.  To not use food to soothe myself.  I begin again is a challenge.  Finding new ways of doing things is NOT EASY, but so worth it!  This week I am starting a new chapter in my journey.  I am involved in a secret, private group on Facebook where we are discussing this book.  I'm going to give it my ALL.   I want to be in a better place.  Anyone want to join me????  Contact me and we can be on a journey together.

 If you have a more serious Eating Disorder, such as Bulimia or Anorexia...please contact a Health Professional.
