Before I started with Jamie, my life consisted of intrusive thoughts about how my body looked, daily weigh-ins, counting calories and constant concern about what I could and could not eat. My life was dictated by restrictive diet plans and exercise regimens. It consisted of late night binges and shame.
After working with Jamie and rediscovering my newfound self, I was able to shed the layers of disordered thinking and obsessive thoughts around food. I am more gracious towards my body now and allow my body to take up the space it deserves. I celebrate my mind and body for how far I have come. I was able to make peace with myself and realize that my body is constantly changing, and that life goes deeper than the ever changing body. I discovered respect and love for myself and my body that I never had before.
I would recommend this work to others, because I can attest to the fact that life is worth more than constant anxiety and fear over how a body looks or how much or how little food was consumed. I have found that life is much more enjoyable when you realize this simple truth. The journey through recovery is nonlinear and may be challenging at times, but your future self will thank you for never giving up on yourself.
