Tricia's Story
From the age of three (as far back as I remember), food
was a highlight for me. I loved to eat. I especially loved all the
sugary, starchy foods that were available, like doughnuts and
cereal, ice cream and cookies. I looked forward to eating and
I was even sneaky about getting extra food wherever I was.
I wasn’t like my friends; they could take it or leave it. But
my obsession with food showed. I was a chubby kid, and this
was back in the day when there weren’t many of us around. I
grew up hating my body and fantasizing about contracting
some disease that would make me skinny.
I overate regularly, especially at a time when I was stressed
or afraid…which was practically every day. Oh, I didn’t appear
to be afraid. I was captain of the varsity team, the lead role in
school plays, president of my school…even a car mechanic in
Spain one year. But inside life was daunting; I was always
afraid and turned to food for strength and comfort.
I had several failed attempts at self-control through diets
and exercise programs. At age 18, I began a fervent search
for a deeper solution to my problem. Three years later, I
FOUND IT!
My problem wasn’t a weight problem; it was an emotional
eating problem. And it went even further than that. I had a
soul-sickness, an inner void I was attempting to fill with food.
If I didn’t address my soul, hunger I would always return to
excess food to “fix” me.
I underwent an in-depth process of healing and change
called Metasteps and in the process I was freed of my desire
to overeat. I was guided through this process by someone
who had once stood in my shoes. The process had little to do
with food, and everything to do with healing the emotional pain
and fear that drove me to overeat.
My results have been life-changing. I have a new-found
self-confidence and freedom from debilitating fear. Instead of
depending on excess food to get me by I am able to live by
inspiration, intuition and the guidance of a higher power.
Because I know the personal pain and shame of being
overweight and out of control with food and I have found
freedom, I now have a mission to carry a message of hope to
any and all who suffer from eating disorders, obesity and
emotional eating.
Besides being a personal coach specializing in “weight
loss from the inside out” I have also founded a Non-profit that
offers free support and care to those who suffer from eating
disorders and other addictions. My passion is helping people
who fear that they are “hopeless”. I was that person 18 years
ago, and today I am totally free.
Most people like me are given diets, exercise programs
and oodles of advice. But those who haven’t experienced this
problem can’t ultimately help. Having been there, I want to
reach out a hand to all others who want to be totally free and
fear that they can’t be. That is why I named my organization
Be Totally Free! Helping others be totally free is a blessing in
my life because while others may benefit, I am the one who
benefits the most!
