My Website for Women Struggling with Food

You can break away from the binging, purging, shame, anxiety and self-hatred that accompanies eating disorders

Listen…

I know about the Shame and Isolation
of this struggle.

I too have gone Online countless nights in search of answers.

I know about the futile attempts to fix this with willpower, diets, questionable programs, and dangerous methods.

I too have begged God to just take this thing from me, or at least take me, because this is no way to live…

I didn’t just read about it in a book

I’m not another self-made guru

I’m a lady who walked the walk, and I have a story to tell you…

Seriously:
Are you exhausted of an endless battle with Eating Disorders?
Are you even skeptical about this website right now?
Believe me, I don’t blame you…
I understand your skepticism, especially if you’ve been looking for answers, in every possible and impossible place, for as long as I did.
I also understand that you’re probably sick of false hope and false promises!

I am a Woman, Wife, and Mom just like you,
and I’m still amazed and filled with wonder that God actually set me free from Eating Disorders.

I wrote a 12 Week Online Course in which I am totally honest about my painful and lonely struggle with food, as well as the journey that lead me to freedom.
I want to help you find answers that actually make sense.
I also want to help you find a road map out of this nightmare!

My Freedom story…

Please trust me if I tell you:
I know how it feels to not want to get out of bed in the morning.
I know the feeling of guilt and shame that follows you around.
I know about the negative thoughts racing through your mind all day long.
I know the feeling of: “Everything in my life is always out of control”

I especially know about promising yourself to do better every morning.
And then, the bitter taste of failure every night when you realize once again: I can NOT do this!

I have suffered from eating disorders for a long time.
At one point I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I hated all the false promises, my health was deteriorating rapidly, and I simply had to find some truth. So I read everything I could lay my hands on and took every course I could find out there. I also followed almost every diet on the planet. Some things helped me for a while and others just made matters worse.

In the end I found that dealing with certain issues and putting certain things in place caused the death grip that eating disorders had on me to loosen.
I saw myself moving away from it and I could breathe again.
Huge breakthroughs came when I finally found the courage to break my “code of silence”. I told others about my struggle and asked for support and prayer.

It was a difficult journey of falling and getting up. Sometimes I didn’t want to get up, but God helped me and I made it.

Good things came out of those years of trials and research though:
I gathered so much information that I could actually throw out all the useless stuff and hang on to the good things that really helped. I wrote a 12 Week course that covers all of the essential components that is needed to get out of Eating Disorders, and started support groups for women who struggle with this issue, all around the same time.

Believe me, I am no super woman, it was difficult, but I just couldn’t ignore the sheer need that exist, also in the church, for help in this area.

When many of the women in my support groups found healing and release from their eating disorders, I was overwhelmed with joy, and humbled by the realization that God can use a broken vessel like myself to help others find life again.

After using this Course succesfully for many years I had the opportunity to update it and make it available online with approximately 100 daily videos and at least 300 pages of material.

I have to admit that this course tends to lean more towards Binge Eating disorder and Bulimia. I have not personally struggled with Anorexia, but I did a lot of reading and studying about this disorder. I also met a few ladies through the years who gave me great insight into their struggle with anorexia. So I didn’t omit Anorexia from this course at all. However, I have written a great deal of the course material based on my own experiences while struggling to break free from Bulimia and Binge Eating disorder at different times in my life. Also, the support groups I had, which became a big source of research for me as I talked to the ladies, consisted mainly of women struggling with either Binge Eating Disorder or Bulimia.

This said: I do believe that you can greatly benefit from this study course regardless of the kind of eating disorder you’re struggling with.

I AM FREE TODAY, and one thing I know for sure is that NOBODY can do this alone. That’s why I would love to take your hand and walk this journey with you. My heart goes out to every woman and mom out there who already give so much of themselves and has to do it all, with the burden of something as devastating as an eating disorder.

I would simply love for you to join me: We will be walking with the King of kings, and the place we’re going is a place of FREEDOM

Daily step-by-step Freedom Plan: Lifetime access

Most ladies I encounter can not just clear out a chunk of time in their schedule to “heal-up”. We all have jobs, friends, kids, households, pets and husbands (not necessarily in that order
For this reason I chose to present the information, principles and life changes that brought me freedom to you in a week by week study, with the understanding that you would take at least one week per unit.
However, if you need MORE time to work through a week, I would highly recommend that you take all the time you need.
