ABOUT THE FOUNDER OF Tru2U - AUDREY LEWIS
Dear Friend
Are there times when you seek solace or comfort in food?
Maybe you turn to food or stop eating when you're under stress.
Perhaps you eat to feel happy, crave a specific food or types of food, eat even though you are full, experience an urgent, often uncontrollable need to eat, or binge on food at unusual times of day (for example, late at night),
I USED TO DO ALL OF THE ABOVE
I suffered from Bulimia and had a severe sugar addiction for over thirty years.
I lived daily, fearing being diagnosed with diabetes, but that was not enough to stop my unhealthy eating habits.
As a child, I was labelled as " big-boned" and told I was destined to be like my mother, who wore UK-size 22 clothes. I was overweight and nick-named "Ten-ton Tessy" by my brother (whom I love dearly, by the way!).
When my parents divorced and my dad left home, I was 13 and felt like my whole world had turned upside down.
I buried all my emotions into sports, striving to be the perfect student and, you guessed it, FOOD!
I binged on chocolates, cakes, and biscuits whenever I experienced stress and continued to do so throughout my adult life. I would binge and often force myself to bring up everything I had eaten for a good part of my life.
"Food was the one thing I felt I could control when everything else felt out of my control!"
My eating behaviours were my secret.
I did not know anyone I felt understood, and I was very ashamed of how I ate. I was too ashamed to talk about it with even my closest friends.
My parents' divorce led me to want to fulfil a fascination and deep desire to understand why people think the way they think, act the way they act and live with circumstances and outcomes they are not happy with.
Unfortunately, my training in psychology and a career as a mental health professional did not provide the answers I sought at the time.
It took many more years of continuous research to discover the answers, which I later learned have little to do with what's happening outside of us but more to do with what is happening within.
MY JOURNEY
TODAY I AM HEALTHY AND FITS, AND I HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS
I Changed My Eating Habits without Dieting, Pills, Therapy or Surgery
I still experience challenges in my life. However, I have learned how to dissolve stress, anxiety, anger, frustration, and despair without turning to food to suppress what I'm feeling or for comfort.
It took thirty-five years of continuous research, testing, and personal experiences to realise that I had been looking for external solutions and asking myself the wrong questions. I should have been asking:
- Why do I have good intentions but often do not follow through or take action?
- Why do I do things I don't want to be doing?
- Why do I make promises to myself that I don't always keep?
- ...and why don't I sometimes say what I want to say?
My research finally led to solutions that made sense, were simple, and were practical. These solutions changed my life.
I have consolidated all my learnings and experiences into a book and online programme so that you don't have to take so long to find the answers to achieving the peace of mind and successful outcomes you desire.
These are my legacy and gifts to you.
