5 years ago, I wrote a journal entry about my ongoing struggle with Crohn’s disease, binge eating, unhealthy addiction to exercise, & poor body image.
I detailed longstanding struggle with my seemingly endless appetite & f*cked up addiction to stuffing huge amounts of food in my face, struggling with gut flares & drowning in a black cloud of self loathing & frustration.
I had no “cures” as of yet, but I was now out of the closet getting REAL with living in a “haunted house.”
Since writing that entry, I chose to turn that pain into something constructive. I created a community here simply sharing my life in hopes of helping others living a similar nightmare.
I wrote a super informative blog on my healing & carnivore story here that will answer the majority of your questions what I went through transitioning & how I healed via a meat based, “carnivore” lifestyle.
I’ve received hundreds of messages asking about the journey of recovery from disordered eating, poor body image, food addiction, orthorexia, & Crohn’s disease.
Living decades with these devils on my shoulders since the age of 8, I’ve learned a lot.
After going “carnivore” with diet & changing my perspective on health & fitness, I never binge & am healthier than ever at 40 years old & med free in remission.
I want the same for you.
How did I crack the code? Brain dumped as many resources as I could in this blog for you.
First, I stopped looking outside myself for solutions, online & advice from friends, doctors, & latest fads. Instead, I decided to compassionately look inward & get curious on what life & fitness meant to me.
I started observing myself to understand my thoughts & actions.
I found without exception, I binged in response to 3 different situations that left me hungry physically & mentally:
- When “restricting” & trying to eat like everyone else instead of ME
- When avoiding an emotion or lacking purpose
- When neglecting my own pleasure & needs
My priorities now are: Great food in the form of animal based nutrition — quality sleep & exercise — simple joy & inner peace.
I’ve learned to consider fitness a lifestyle I love, not a chore.
A CHAMPION means to be someone that loves the work of becoming one more than the idea of becoming one.
