It was after completing a 12 week weight loss program that Victoria developed an eating disorder.
She would starve herself all day, over-exercise, and indeed up so hungry at night that she would go on huge binges…
These binges would be met with a mixture of shame, anger, guilt, and anxiety of gaining weight that she would purge it all and punish herself with extreme forms of exercise.
Victoria began getting the attention and acceptance that she’d been seeking out her entire life. She was the skinniest she had ever been, but she was also the unhappiest she’d ever been.
It wasn’t known to her at the time, but Victoria's challenges related to eating disorders, mental health, extreme dieting, and over exercising would become a catalyst for creating a solution to an issue millions of women deal with everyday.
Victoria helps countless women heal their relationship with food by optimizing their mindset for happier and healthier lifestyles.
In this episode of the Fall In Love with Fitness podcast, Victoria and I discuss how her eating disorder began and the steps she took to overcome it, why social media can be extremely dangerous and misleading when it comes to mental and physical health, and why we should consider not only intuitive eating, but intuitive movement as well.
