Dani's Story - From Food Addiction to Freedom

At 130 pounds, I looked in the mirror and saw myself a hundred pounds heavier than I really was. I thought I was obese.

I had tried and failed so many times that I stopped believing I could ever overcome my food addiction and self hatred. 

I was living in a state of self sabotage. I hated pictures of myself. I hated my struggle with food. I hated the shame I felt when I would binge. I was addicted to food and I didn't know how to get out.

Then one fateful day, I discovered a YouTube video that changed my life. It was titled "Breaking the Stronghold of Food Addiction"

I stopped eating processed foods, salt, oil, sugar, meat and dairy. I learned to create incredible flavors that I love with plants. I started following a plant based community and I made it my lifestyle.

I knew when I started this journey that I wanted to do something that I could sustain for the rest of my life. I wanted to lose weight ONE last time. Food addiction is not curable with temporary dieting. Food addiction is silenced when you cut out the addictive foods. I still LOVE food. I just prepare it differently than I used to. I live every day knowing that the food addict is buried within me. I don't feed her. I nourish her. Today I fight hard for the 130 pound version of myself who believed she was fat. I'm fighting a war for that girl. I'm taking back every lie she ever believed about herself. One pound at a time, I am winning that war. My best days are ahead. My healthiest days are ahead. I still have a ways to go before I reach my goal. I wanted to share the journey with you, in hopes that it will reach the hopeless strugglers like me. There IS freedom from food addiction. There IS a natural treatment for health threatening diseases. We don't have to compromise our health for tasty food. Follow me, I'll show you how.
