“Because of your anorexia – you’ve got cancer.”

 

Dear Reader,

Hi, my name is Esther and I want to share with you my journey of recovery from anorexia and bulimia.

My hope is that by sharing my experiences you will see that you can heal from this disease.

You may feel like no one understands what you’re going through… but I do. I lived with anorexia (and at times bulimia) for over 20 years.

With all the professional help I sought out no one truly understood how I was feeling or could help me understand why I was starving my body obsessively.

I want you to know that you are not alone. There is a way out of anorexia.

This program is one path to freedom from the trap you’re in. It is based on my experiences and how I regained my life.

How It Started

First, let me tell you a little about myself. As you read my story you’ll discover that I really have been in a similar place as you.

I grew up with my mum, stepdad, and twin sister. At age 10 my carefree life of innocence was stolen when I was subjected to sexual abuse by my stepdad’s brother.

I never spoke of the abuse in fear that my uncle would carry out all the horrific threats he held over me if I ever spoke about what he had done.

When I started dating at sixteen I began to panic. I realized later that I was afraid of intimacy and unconsciously made myself less attractive to avoid dealing with it.

What started as a simple diet soon became out of hand. The less I ate the better I felt. At least it felt like I had some control over the unconscious repressed anger and I felt safe.

By age twenty I had starved myself from a healthy 60kg down to a skeletal 38kg…and believed there was nothing wrong with my body size.

In time, anorexia developed into bulimia and I felt life was not worth living. I was losing control. I hated myself and was suicidal.

At this point I spent 14 weeks in a hospital for my eating disorder. The treatment was unsuccessful but it did keep me alive. I’m sure the staff meant well but they simply didn’t know how to help me recover.

The bulimia continued and at age twenty-two I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer… but I was too depressed to care.

My family supported me the best they knew how and still the bulimia persisted until age twenty-nine. With pure willpower I managed to stop binging and vomiting, but returned to the anorexic pattern of not eating enough.

The Turning Point

By thirty-three my daughter was born and I was not emotionally ready to be a mum. Whenever life became too stressful I wouldn’t eat.

At times it felt like I was losing my mind.

For quite a while I shut myself away from the world, hanging onto my anorexic behaviors to give me some feeling of safety.

Finally, at thirty-nine my body had had enough and I became very ill. This was my turning point. I had to make a decision. Did I want to embrace life and heal, and know and understand myself? Or did I want to keep taking cover under the blanket of anorexia?

I didn’t want my little girl to have a dying mum so I ate just enough to keep me going.

Watching her gave me the push to identify, understand, and manage my emotions.

I chose life.

Now let me ask you…

Have you come to the end of your road where there is nowhere else to go?

Are you at the stage where you realize you don’t know a way out because you haven’t got the right map that can show you where to go?

If your answer is ‘yes’ then you are already half way home. With a conscious choice you can begin to heal. My experiences can help you along your journey to recovery.

What Can Happen If You Continue Down The Path Of Anorexia and Bulimia

I don’t mean to scare you but if you think you can continue starving yourself with no long term consequences then you are just kidding yourself.

Consider this…

Without the proper nutrients your brain cannot function optimally. It loses the ability to make right connections. Your thoughts can become unrealistic even though they may seem real and true.

Also, your body is designed to survive and do whatever is necessary to live. That’s why even though you eat less and less you may quit losing weight. Your body slows down your metabolism to the bare minimum to keep you alive.

Unfortunately, once the body is set on this survival program it may get stuck in starvation mode. That’s because your thyroid function, which regulates your metabolism, is often unable to restart itself. In this state your hormones and digestion will suffer badly. You may also need replacement hormones for the rest of your life.

If you also suffer from bulimia the way I did then your teeth may begin to crumble as gastric juices in vomit erode your teeth. In addition, excessive vomiting or laxative use can cause extreme weakness, near paralysis, or even lethal heart rhythms [University of Maryland Medical Center].

Over time the stomach will quit producing digestive juices which can lead to chronic constipation.

But it doesn’t end there. The overuse of laxatives can damage your intestines and lead to leaky gut syndrome or Crohn’s disease.

You Can Eat Without
The Conflict In Your Mind

Your immediate goal right now may be how to find a way of eating without ever gaining any excessive weight, and have peace of mind. This is possible. In the Anorexia Help Me Recover program I share with you what works for me and many others who are following the way we were meant to nourish our bodies.

Now I know that your greatest fear may be eating, losing control and gaining weight because if you do then it feels like you’ve failed.

I have been battling with these thoughts for the last twenty years, because my mind continually ran on, “Don’t eat too much, you won’t like yourself.” What motivated me to start eating differently was the fright I received as I had my blood test results explained.

I didn’t want to become diabetic and suffer poor health any longer. My mental state of mind said, “Stay where you feel secure, don’t start eating too much.” However, the physical effects my body was experiencing urged me to make a commitment to start eating just for a while to see if my health would improve.

“My mind calmed down once it received
nutrients instead of calories.”

Once I slowly started eating in the right nutrients, I didn’t gain any excess weight and I began to feel calmer. Within three months my state of mind improved dramatically. I noticed that I wasn’t so fearful about food and the amount I had. My brain was receiving the nutrients it needed to work optimally, and I began to feel more content with who I was and how I felt and looked.

Now I know if I tell you you’re just going to have to “eat” to get better you will probably tune me out because this is what you have been hearing all along. However, you may want to try eating the way I do, just for a while to experience for yourself that it really does work.

And please understand this, if you’re very underweight, your body will just balance out to your healthy size.

You will notice that the torment in your mind lessens and you will be able to look back and understand why the common diet made you unwell. Understanding and experiencing how much better you feel will enable you in time to let go of anorexia.

Still, having gone through all of this I know that you are going to struggle at times. Don’t be discouraged by relapses. It takes time to change a way of life but each choice you make to improve your health is going to bring you closer to where you want to be.

It has been a long journey for me, but one I hope that you will start today with this program. I remember how I felt when I thought life was not worth living.

If someone would have said, “Just listen to this lady’s story”, I know that I would have wanted to know how she recovered.

I Can Help You Because
I’ve Been There

You can only truly understand anorexic behavior if you have been there.

I’m not a doctor, therapist, or psychologist. I am a recovered anorexic/bulimic.

I am not perfect but I know what it’s like to chase the illusion of perfection.

I know what it’s like to suffer the mental, emotional, and physical effects of starving for perfection.

Certain government agencies and medical establishments don’t want you to have access to the Anorexia Help Me Recover program because I don’t have a medical degree. They assume only they can help. But they don’t have all the answers.

I spent 14 weeks in a hospital being treated for an eating disorder. They didn’t “cure” me but they did keep me alive. They don’t understand what it’s like to live with anorexia.

They don’t understand the need to be perfect, the need to be liked, or the need for approval. They don’t understand that it’s not just about eating more food.

These professionals mean well but they just don’t get “it.”

I can help you because I lived with anorexia for over 20 years and through my own study and will to change I’m free of it.

That’s why I believe I can help you. I truly understand where you are and what you need to do to overcome anorexia and bulimia because I’ve been through it.

“Esther’s gentle calm manner helps you face the fears that haunt you without pressure, judgment or condemnation.”

I was anorexic and bulimic in my teens and early twenties. I was under a lot of pressure to get perfect grades, be the perfect student, the perfect daughter, the perfect friend, and even the perfect Christian.

The problem was that I knew on the inside that I wasn’t the perfect person many people held me to be.

I didn’t know it then but now I realize my anorexic behavior – starving myself, actually being afraid of food, and the endless exercise to the point of developing stress fractures – was my way to be “perfect” on the outside where it could be seen. Then I could hide my imperfections within myself. But I felt like a fraud.

I wish I had had this program when I was in the grips of the disease. Even more I wish my parents had it. They didn’t understand how I was thinking or why I made the compulsive destructive choices I did. Their words and attempts to help (although meant for good) only made things worse.

Years later my own daughter became severely anorexic. Her striving for perfection and attempts to reach the imagined expectations of others drove her to serious health repercussions that she is still dealing with after regaining a healthy weight.

I can see how she stills suffers in her mind and emotions with the triggers that brought on the anorexia. Although she has what may be considered a healthy weight she still has the anorexic mind and starves her body of nutrition and rest.

Esther’s program is both enlightening and soothing. Her gentle calm manner helps you face the fears that haunt you without pressure, judgment or condemnation.

Two generations of my family could have avoided the lifetime effects of anorexia if someone would have put this program into our hands. I now have a tool to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

“An Alternative To The Medical Model”

The Anorexia Help Me programme exemplifies Esther’s compassion and genuine desire to guide others back to good health, living life without the fear and anxiety that typically beset people with eating disorders.

Esther does this with such warmth and self belief one can’t help feel that while listening to her CDs she is right there in the room holding your hand and gently offering the support and encouragement to move towards a better space…with no pressure and no judgment.

Esther speaks from her heart with warmth and authenticity, understanding what it can mean to have an eating disorder and more importantly what it means to be free from it.

Anorexia Help Me is a programme about increasing self awareness, self esteem and thereby self healing. It provides an alternative to the medical model practices which may not suit all personality types.

I enthusiastically endorse the recommended eating plan as a means of attaining optimal health. I’ve also been meditating the way Esther suggests for nearly two years and I can vouch for the positive effects this also has on one’s well being.

“Program Provides A Great Range Of Practical Strategies”

Eroded crumbling teeth and fillings, gum infections, hypersensitivity to hot and cold, and an elevated occurrence of cavities.

Dental professionals are usually the first to notice these consequences of an eating disorder. That’s why I’m happy to recommend the Anorexia Help Me program. Here’s a tool for me to help patients suffering from anorexia or bulimia.

Esther has a wonderful manner of relating to listeners. She is comforting and personal… gentle and easy to listen to. She avoids bullying her listeners and respectfully encourages them to make thoughtful choices.

Her loving honesty in revealing the dire consequences regarding not eating is admirable.

It is so important that people hear and understand that they do have a “free will,” choices in life, and that we can help ourselves. This program provides a great range of practical strategies to help the person who is willing and ready to get help.
