There is no suppose around food or around alcohol, and oftentimes those two things overlap or one gets swapped for the other. Does that mean that I am one of those people who can eat what the heck they want whenever they want?
Ever felt like you're the only one struggling with food and alcohol? In this heartfelt episode of 'RAW CHATTER!', Vicky Midwood, known as The Addiction Eliminator, opens up about her personal battles that began as early as infant school. Vicky paints a vivid picture of her childhood, wishing she could be like her friends who seemed to eat without a care in the world.
She longed to be one of the 'thin ones', but even when she achieved that, happiness eluded her. Her story is a raw and honest exploration of how food issues are rarely just about food and how weight concerns are often more than skin deep. Vicky doesn't shy away from discussing the overlap between food and alcohol addiction, revealing how one can easily substitute for the other.
She shares the genetic and familial factors that played a role in her struggles, shedding light on how our backgrounds shape our relationships with food. Vicky's candidness about her health consequences, including a diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, underscores the serious impact these addictions can have on our bodies. But it's not all doom and gloom. Vicky emphasizes the importance of talking openly about eating disorders, breaking down the stigma and encouraging others to seek help.
Her message is clear: you're not alone, and starting a conversation is the first step towards healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with food or alcohol issues, offering a relatable and supportive voice in the journey towards recovery.
