Upon reflection, Martina realised she had been dealing with an unhappy relationship with food since the age of ten and is now thirty-three years old. She had a history of disordered eating and yo-yo dieting and had been struggling with binge eating behaviour for many years.
This is how she described her daily challenge
“I was a compulsive over-eater so everything in my day-to-day life revolved around food. I used to binge all the time and then punish myself by not eat anything at all for a day or two, which would eventually make me binge again as I was so hungry. I was stuck in this cycle for a very long time.”
Whilst working through the programme she began to observe the shift in how she felt about herself –now she believed that there were no limits to what she could achieve in her life. This is what she said, acknowledging her the incredible progress she had made:
“I completely got rid of my "all or nothing" mentality around food and stopped punishing myself anytime I thought I ate something I shouldn't have. I don't binge or starve myself like I used to. It is such a massive achievement to accomplish.”
In this short video, I talk about some of the steps Martina took to achieve this.
