“I got into a cycle of overtraining, restricting, binging and purging. The cycle started when I decided I wanted to get “fit” and “healthy” so started I doing a high volume of intense cardio and weightlifting whilst also restricting my food intake. My rule was that I would eat minimal amounts of food during the week but then go all out on the weekends.  The binge eating gradually started to become more regular and intense and I would try to “out-train” the calories.

Previously to starting with Victoria I tried to resolve the problem by reading various books on binge eating. At this stage, I was totally oblivious as to the reason the binging was happening in the first place so I wasn’t improving.

When I decided to work with Victoria, I wasn’t entirely sure how or if I could be “cured”. I was so lost in the binge eating cycle that I was slightly sceptical. But after listening to a podcast where Victoria was being interviewed, and looking at her website and Instagram account, something was very relatable, and I loved the fact that so much of her content was focused on self-love and self-acceptance. These were both things I did not have at the start.

Since finishing the course, my relationship with food and my body is now so much better. I have learnt to accept my new body and let go of the skinnier version of me. My feelings of guilt around food have nearly disappeared and I no longer restrict myself after consuming a lot of calories, I just wake up the next day and carry on as normal. I listen and respect my body’s hunger queues and also the feeling of fullness. There are still days when I criticise my body but most of the time I feel acceptance of the way I look and appreciate what my body can do for me.

I absolutely would recommend Victoria to others for help with food and body struggles. The content which Victoria provides on her course is so valuable and the worksheets and journalling are super helpful. All the recommended reading and podcasts where I could listen to similar stories to my own were also very helpful.

Victoria has been like a friend to me as well as a mentor for the past 3 months and has taught me to believe in myself, accept myself and be kind to myself. I don’t think I would have ever reached this place without her help. Thank you!”

“I had suffered with my eating disorder for over 30 years when I finally hit that point of “ if not now when”- life was miserable. And within 7 months, my life is unrecognisable, I thought I would come out the other side of this with a bigger body and my physical health- and I have, but I had no idea that my head would be full of light, full of excitement, full of confidence, I am a person that I really don’t know, but I really do love- the me who exists without an eating disorder. And the future is so exciting and full of opportunity.”
“Having been anorexic in my early twenties, I had then spent nearly 50 years in partial recovery: restricting, counting calories, and running compulsively. In my mid-60s I started to relapse into significant restriction again. Today, I am living a fully recovered, joyful life, accepting of my body and my self. I could not have recovered without Victoria.”
