Eating Disorders – Mind over Matter – Body Image

Those with eating disorders tend to have body image issues, they get hung up on size and shape and their so called flaws.  They spend their time measuring their success by their weight on the scale, fearing food and fat.  They spend even more time beating themselves up if they feel their body is not in the perfect proportion.

This is what I would like to say to all those struggling with an eating disorder – anorexia – bulimia – binge eating : 

You cannot heal from this “dis”-ease,  this “dis”-comfort, this “dis”-tress if you focus on all the “dis” -tain you feel for your body! (Just reading that previous sentence alone makes me cringe because it is so negative)

Healing happens when we focus on our positive aspects and give ourselves love! We need to try to remember how beautiful, special, and magical we are! We need to imagine our symptoms disappearing and picture ourselves in an ideal state of health.

Bottom Line: If you want to heal from an eating disorder, you need to reconsider where you are focusing your mind!

Holistic Eating Disorder Treatment

Hello all!

I’d like to introduce myself. I am Cheryl Fawn, CHHC, AADP. In the coming weeks I will be blogging about everything and anything that has helped myself and my clients to heal. I work specifically with clients who suffer from eating disorders, emotional eating, Celiac Disease, and food allergies. I struggled with an eating disorder for 10 years. I began to seek out alternative methods of healing, everything and anything, acupuncture, reiki, hypnotherapy, ionithermie, emotional freedom technique, and holistic nutrition therapy. In my recovery process, I learned many things about healing the body and the holistic health model. I eventually came to understand what caused my eating disorder and how to take back control of my life. Some of the insights I offer are very new and I am certain this information can help anyone who it finds.
