<p>A bit different, huh?</p>
<p>When I look at these photos now, I could cry for my younger self.  I felt trapped in a never-ending cycle of dieting, guilt and hating my body.  I suffered from anxiety, insomnia, chronic eczema, painful digestion, mood swings and low energy.  </p>
<p>I had a dysfunctional relationship with food that not only ruined my body but controlled my life.</p>
<p>Food wasn&#8217;t &#8216;fun&#8217; for me then.  It wasn&#8217;t simple or easy.  Every bite came with an avalanche of guilt and feelings of weakness (you can read more of my story <a href="https://vegansparkles.com/2013/07/30/diet-shakes/">here</a> and <a href="https://vegansparkles.com/2014/02/17/perfection-myth/">here</a>).  </p>
<p>I refused to listen to my body.  It sent me <em>oh-so</em> many signs that it wasn&#8217;t happy with the processed &#8216;diet&#8217; food I was feeding it, but my head wouldn&#8217;t listen.  My head was in charge and it was going to show my body who was <em>boss</em>, dammit!  </p>
<p>Every Monday morning when I stood on the bathroom scales, I&#8217;d fight back tears and declare: &#8216;I <em>hate</em> you, fat belly, and this week I&#8217;m going to starve you off!&#8217;  </p>
<p>Sound familiar?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
It feels a world away from where I am now.  Peaceful, playful, present, happy, healthy, and best of all &#8211; <em>free</em>.<br />

<p>But you know what?  I&#8217;m not sorry that my journey took me there.  My experience drives my passion to help women liberate themselves from the same sorts of issues.  Knowing &#8211; first hand &#8211; just how devastating it can be to feel stuck in an unhealthy pattern helps me to be a more compassionate coach and truly understand what my clients are going through.  </p>
