To anyone who is not sure they can recover, please know you can! 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, I was isolated by my eating disorder, I felt trapped in a small dark world that I believed I was responsible for creating. From the outside all looked just fine, but if you are currently suffering with an eating disorder you will know that the pretence is exhausting.
I was scared when I started my journey, what if I failed? I am too old to do this twice, was the eating disorder so much a part of who I was that it was here forever.? However, I knew from my very first chat with Victoria that was not the case, because when I did not believe in me, she absolutely believed in me. She did not for one second believe I would fail, and it took a while for me to believe that, but as long as she believed it , it kept me going till I felt it myself. 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. Victoria held my hand through all of it, the fears, the bad days, the days I doubted my confidence, the days I needed some reassurance that everything was going to be ok. She is genuine and wise and compassionate and will push when you want to stop!
My mum always told me that the if you change someone’s life for the better, then you have done what you came here to do- well this lovely lady is changing so many lives and she will change yours , take a chance on yourself, invest in you, invest in the amazing life you don’t even know you need yet!
