F ifteen years ago, this book couldnt exist. Fifteen years ago, I wasnt sure if tomorrow would exist .

I was going to die soon. It was inevitable. Theres only so much abuse a body can take. Id been bingeing and purging food for over 10 years at that point, usually 10 times a day and it felt like all the years of self-inflicted damage were finally catching up with me .

Id lost my menstrual cycle, Id become socially withdrawn and depressed. I was suffering from weight fluctuations, panic attacks, heart palpitations, bad teeth, severe food obsession and body preoccupation. My life was an endless cycle of bingeing, purging, then starving, bingeing, purging, then starving. Food was a battle ground and hunger was my enemy. Normal life felt like a distant forgotten memory .

In 2003 I hit rock bottom. I found myself passed out on the toilet floor. My heart was palpitating, I felt shaky, weak, broken and I instinctively knew that my body wouldnt allow me to carry on this way for much longer. I had abused it enough. There was a limit and I had reached mine. This had to stop. I didnt want to die. With nothing left to lose I decided that I was going to dedicate my life to defeating this .

The idea that I could :

• ever stop bingeing ,
• help thousands of other people to stop bingeing ,
• write a book about stopping bingeing , and
• appreciate the insight and understanding my suffering gave me

Well, that was just an impossible dream .

It wasnt like I didnt try to stop. Oh my, I tried so hard to stop. With every atom of my being, with every ounce of my willpower, I tried to resist the urge to binge on food but it never worked. I couldnt stop. I wasnt sure if I was mad, broken, lacked willpower or all of the above. What I did know was that I was terrified, alone, ill and that my life was in danger .

Perhaps most dangerous of all was the fact that I was beginning to lose hope. Hope of ever recovering. Hope of ever being free. Living without hope is a dark place to be .

So, right off the bat, I want to give you hope. More than anything I want to give you hope .

If you suffer from binge eating you know how much control food can hold over your life. Every second of every day you are bombarded by thoughts of food. Every food advert, fast food joint, convenience store and vending machine can trigger uncontrollable food cravings. Food is everywhere, all the time and its exhausting .

Eating food fills you simultaneously with feelings of pleasure, guilt, dread and shame. Somehow you can just eat, eat and eat and never seem to reach the point where you feel satisfied. Afterwards you worry about weight gain and berate yourself for lacking control. In the back of your mind you fear that it is too late for you, that you are too weak, too broken and you worry that you are doomed to suffer with the pain and misery of life as a binge eater .

I can tell you right now that these fears are unfounded. From the diversity of people and success stories I have witnessed over the past decade, I can tell you without a doubt that no one is beyond help and that there is no such thing as being too weak or too broken to break free from binge eating. You can get your life back. A life completely free from any urge to eat vast quantities of food .

So if you're wondering if this book is for you, here's what you need to know .

In this book I am going to show you exactly how to overcome your binge eating issues, make peace with food and achieve your optimal, natural weight without dieting .

Ive been coaching sufferers of bulimia and binge eating since 2007. I published my first book The Bulimia Help Method through Amazon.com in 2014. It is now the best reviewed bulimia recovery book on Amazon. This book uses some of the same core principles and ideas but they have been specifically tailored towards binge eaters .

It doesnt matter if you binge on food once a week or multiple times a day. It doesnt matter if you are overweight, underweight or normal weight. If you find yourself uncontrollable around food, you are in the right place, this book will help you, this book is your blueprint for success. Trust me, you can get over this, you are not doomed, this is not a life sentence, you can have hope .

I remember it well. It was early in the morning, I had just woken up, the sun was shining through the curtains. I had just finished University and I was feeling good about myself. As I lay in bed I made a decision there and then. Enough was enough. Today was the day. No matter what, I was not going to binge on food. I felt absolutely 100% determined. I was going to do it. Nothing was going to stop me. I was going to use every ounce of my willpower, determination and strength. I felt confident. I felt empowered. I felt like I was ready to take it on .
