Meet Lisa Wells, for 11 years Lisa lived with sugar addiction, which lead to depression and anxiety and living with overwhelm.
Taking anti-depressants, seeing psychiatrists, psychologists and reading self- help books just couldn’t get to the core of the matter for Lisa, who found herself doing well for about a week after her sessions but she would always end up back on the couch stuffing her face with blocks of chocolate daily.
Lisa started journaling to try and make sense of her out of control world and it was in one writing session she wrote “Each day we have the opportunity to face our stuff or stuff our face”.
Not only did that make Lisa laugh, it also rang true for her, Lisa explains: “Each day I would stuff my face when really what I needed to do was to stop what I was doing and face myself emotionally.
Lisa claims her now long lasting road to recovery started when she began to face her negative thinking and saw what lay beneath the surface of those unrelenting and exhausting negative thought patterns.
“Either the situation is controlling you or you are in control of the situation.”
“I was letting the food situation control me and when I realized that I could never eat enough chocolate or drink enough wine to fill the gap of what I really needed, I knew that I would have to take control of the situation.
Living through such an intense and extreme emotional experience such as food addiction is a relief for Lisa now, who, thanks to the 10 steps she takes daily to ensure her freedom from food hell, has peace with food and no longer dreads going down the chocolate aisle in the supermarket.
Overcoming binge eating, emotional eating, overeating and food addiction is possible and Lisa is excited to bring her experience and her unique techniques to help other Mum’s struggling with food addiction and over eating.
