I’ve helped many overcome the prison of bulimia. There is a way out. There is a balance between control and joy. I would love to hear your story and help you through your challenges.

I’m here for you.

Hi tobethin. Yes, I am here to help you feel better! Battling an eating disorder can be like living in prison. You want out, but just can’t find the key. There’s a false sense of safety just staying in the prison, until you realize your soul is being washed away. I’m here to help you find the key to living a full life with satisfaction and joy.

Here’s a link to my blog where I talk about eating disorders. A touching client testimonial is also included about her recovery process with me overcoming her struggles and finding her voice:

I will be here for you, and I hope other members with join in our discussion. There is strength in all of us together.

Warmly,

Life Coach Nova

I suffered with bouts of bulimia for years starting when I was 13. I would starve myself all week during school and then allow myself to eat on the weekend. My parents would force me to eat something for dinner, but I would just throw it up. I just wanted to stay in control of something, and food was something I could control. I also liked being thin, I felt more powerful. It used to be all I thought of, I would write down THIN on everything over and over in different ways.

Eventually, I got really sick and my body just shut down. I was lost and depressed. I did get help, but ultimately finding my voice and learning I had so much to give from the inside reawakened my spirit and made me whole.

I still struggle with maintaining a healthy weight. I battle with the idea of throwing up, or starving myself all day, but then I remember the pain and don’t want to go there again. It is a prison. Funny how it tricks you into thinking you are powerful and safe and then robs you of your freedom to enjoy life.

I understand where you are coming from tobethin. I bet there are others that can relate with this.
