From a young age, food had always seduced Alicia.
As an example, she remembers in the 80s looking forward to going out to a Chinese restaurant. She would fantasize all day about the food, then devour everything in sight until she felt sick.

Now she realizes that it was specifically sugar that led her to overconsume.

As a sporty child and teenager, Alicia began training as a competitive swimmer. She was able to eat vast quantities of food because she needed so much fuel. But this also perpetuated her unhealthy behaviour around food and led to overeating.

When she was 17, Alicia decided to take a break from competitive swimming and concentrate on her studies... and that's when she says she "ran into trouble". She realized that she didn't know how to moderate her food intake. It was almost like a drug to her.

Listen to Alicia's inspiring story about how she became so much more aware of her real hunger and satiety signals, her compulsive behaviour around food (like bingeing), and how she changed her relationship with certain types of food (including sugar).
