My Relationship with My Body
Eating Disorders
Why if the weight loss industry is so big, does the pain and stress continue? Why do societies keep getting
more overweight? Why do the rates of eating disorders keep growing?
We have been trying to fix the symptoms, not the problem. In this website I share with you the tool that
helped me find the core of all my issues with food, weight, body issues and eating disorder. Whether you
are in a regime, diet, have an eating disorder or think that you need to lose those 2 extra pounds, you will
find a wonderful tool that can drastically change your life. You can stop hurting or stop your stress and find
your answers right now. All you need is pen and paper!
I know the pain of calling myself a bulimic. I imagine that calling myself an anorexic, obese or having a
binging disorder is as painful. There is secrecy, shame, frustration and loneliness. It felt like I was a slave
of food. My entire life revolved around food. It's a shameful secret to know that you have a problem, that
you have to stop it, and you just can't.
As I shared with you before, the first day I ever did The Work I was thankful for my eating disorder. It
was my wakeup call. My call to freedom. My call to learn to see my eating disorder with understanding.
With The Work I found that what was most stressful about bulimia was what I thought people could say
about me. I felt like an outcast even though I was the center of most of my social activities.
With The Work I also realized that my problem wasn't food, weight or bulimia. My problem was all those
painful thoughts I had about myself. My thoughts about weight, my body, bulimia and my expectations of
what I should look like. It was amazing and liberating to realize that my healing to my issues with my body
and weight was in my hands. I don't depend on anyone or anything to find my own peace, clarity and
happiness. I now have the tool to find it for myself.
If you have an eating disorder, The Work can help you find your own healing. The understanding that we
need to heal. Whether you are in a treatment or assist therapy, The Work is an amazing tool that you can
always use.
In my manual "Losing the Real Weight," I dedicated a chapter to Eating Disorders. Make sure you check
it out once it comes out. In the meantime I welcome you to start doing The Work following the Three Steps.
I invite you to start investigating and stop your pain and shame right now. It is possible!
A useful and informative website I found about eating disorders is this one: Eating Disorders
