Success Stories
“I am a compulsive eater and sugar addict. Two years ago I would have never admitted to these behaviors. I have struggled most of my life with body image and weight. When I started the transformation program I didn’t have any idea what I would learn and the impact it would have on my life. The weekly lessons and homework assignments help you discover and work on the hidden issues that are causing you to use food to deal with your emotions. It teaches you tools to break these habits and behaviors. The group therapy gives you the support that keeps you coming back week after week and motivates you to keep going.
I would highly recommend this therapy program for anyone who struggles with weight and body image. I haven’t reached my goal weight yet, but I have not gained back any of the 50 lbs that I have lost in the last two years. This is a first for me because I would lose one year and gain it back the following year. I no longer feel out of control when it comes to food. I have given up sugar which was impossible for me to do two years ago. I have learned what triggers me to eat and that I can’t allow myself to eat sugar. I can tell you that I have not had a food or candy binge in over two years. I now exercise 5-6 times a week, drink a gallon of water a day, and am on the healthiest food plan that I have ever eaten in my whole life.”
“The food addiction program of Lifestyle Transformation helped me learn to stop binge eating and overeating. I have been able to meet and maintain my goal weight. I learned what triggers my desire to overeat and how to manage those triggers. I realized a lifestyle change is necessary to reach and maintain a healthy weight. Dieting doesn’t work. A permanent change in eating habits, activities, and attitude is necessary to overcome overeating caused by emotions, stress, anger, boredom, depression, or sheer habit. Recovery is a daily endeavor. The Lifestyle Transformation Program helped me learn to deal with emotional issues, uncover hidden anger, and the importance of connecting with others. I learned to stop keeping secrets and to face my pain instead of using food to numb my feelings and my life.
I now live a purposeful life instead of just reacting to life’s problems. I follow a healthy food plan. I am honest about what I eat, what I don’t eat, and why. I stay active. I relieve stress through mediation and purposeful activity. I express my needs to others and take steps to see that my needs are met. I regularly read uplifting materials and attend to my spiritual needs. I am grateful I found Lifestyle Transformation, committed to completing the program, and made changes that have greatly improved my life. It was hard work but well worth the effort. I feel good about myself, I enjoy life, and I am fit and healthy. I continue to work on connecting with others in a meaningful way. Completing the program has helped me to live a healthier and happier life.”
