- I would never diet again.
- I would eat when I was hungry.
Because of years and years of dieting, binging, and yo-yoing with my weight, I was so fed up, tired and just generally at breaking point with my relationship with food. Before I attended that workshop I was really desperate for something, and during and after it, I knew that I had found the thing I was looking for. I know from my own experience that diets don't work, and that my realationship with food was pretty disordered. Now I don't think about food and 'forbidden foods' the way I used to. I don't stress about the things I am 'not allowed' to eat, because basically those things don't exist, I am 'allowed' to eat anything I want. But having given myself permission to eat what I want, my diet is actually pretty good. I actually don't eat loads of chocolate, cakes, chips, sweets etc which is quite a surprise. I actually walk past these things in the supermarket, and don't give them a second glance!
I have come a long way in 6 months!
