For a long time I thought I had an eating disorder, but no one seemed to recognize compulsive overeating. I wasn’t anorexic or bulimic, so I didn’t fit this category. I was just weak and needed more self control.
Dorota’s website was my first glimpse of hope for a long time. Help for ‘compulsive overeating’, that’s me!! I need that, and it has changed my life. I am no longer a compulsive overeater, and the main difference was that she didn’t focus on food. She focused on me as a whole person. To Dorota I didn’t have a problem, just bad habits, unresolved emotions and negative past experiences that I didn’t need to be carrying with me. The process for me was emotional at times, but not as hard as living the way I had been living. For the first time in years I began to feel happy.
A month later, I am not a different person on the outside, but on the inside I have peace and I know I will lose more weight slowly because I am in control of my eating. For the first time though it doesn’t matter, I like being me, I have my self worth back and I don’t need to be different to be happy. I eat to live, not live to eat! The main difference for me was not focusing on what I had been focusing on for so long. Food was not my problem, the way I felt about myself was.
