As a working mom, I've struggled with an unhealthy relationship with food for the past 30 years. I, like 50% of the population, would turn to food for comfort and help deal with stress.
On the outside I appeared to be a health conscious fitness lover, teaching step aerobics, spin, kickboxing and HIIT classes and doing CrossFit. I would eat healthy and friends would tell me how "good" and "disciplined" I was. But in private, I had a secret obsession with bingeing on sugary and highly processed foods.
During a particular rough time in my life, I experienced a moment when I knew I needed to make a change. I was tired of the binge eating and obsessive exercise cycle and I wanted to end it. I enrolled in the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and dove into the program. I learned that my relationship with food was the problem and I would never get healthy until I addressed it.
I truly want to share all I've learned and help others end their struggle with stress and emotional eating. If I can do it - you can too!
