My Story

It was one of the worst days of my life. I was sitting in my car feeling very overwhelmed. I was stressed, sad, and felt hopeless. Everything was going wrong at once. I had just started my business but had hardly any money. I had also just ended a 4-year relationship, was gaining weight, and felt like a total failure.

I thought, “What would a normal person do right now?” I knew I needed a plan to fix everything.

But instead, I drove to Burger King and binged on food.

Over the next two years, things got worse. I tried to improve different parts of my life but would get overwhelmed, binge for weeks, and mess up all my progress. I also started using weed, which made everything worse.

On my days off, I would stay in bed for hours just scrolling on my phone, then eat junk food all day. On workdays, I pushed myself to get through, then rewarded myself by getting high, binge eating, and watching TV shows all night. I called it “chain bingeing,” and I woke up the next morning feeling brain dead.

Sometimes I would try to quit everything suddenly and start a keto or low carb diet and exercise every day. But these changes only lasted for about 2 months before I went back to bingeing even worse than before.

My wake-up moment came when I read a quote: “the obstacle is the way.” It made me see things differently.

I realized that running away from my binge eating wasn’t the answer. I needed to understand it because it kept happening. Dieting and exercising weren't fixing the real problem.

I became eager to learn and read everything I could find. My mom had taught me to love reading, and once I started learning about a topic, I couldn’t stop. I learned to ignore bad information like fads and "secrets" that sounded too good to be true. Instead, I focused on the basics of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual health, and human behavior.

My thinking changed a lot. I wondered why smart, successful people who could solve complex problems often acted like children when they faced obstacles, turning to habits like bingeing that hurt them.

It’s been almost ten years now, and I haven’t had any major bingeing issues. I’ve had a few short setbacks, but they were important for learning how to get past them. I’ve learned so much by facing the problem head-on.

I learned that the lowest point in my life was exactly what I needed to change myself into someone who could build a fulfilling life and enjoy it while finding peace. I just had to accept the challenge and do the work so I can be free of destructive behaviours like binge eating.

If you’re ready to face your challenges and use them to become a healthier version of yourself so you can continue to build a fulfilling life, then we need to talk.
