“Before working with Isabel, I would literally douse leftover brownies in dish soap and salt so that I wouldn’t later dig ’em out of the trash. My life was about going through the drive thru and buying so much crap that I would order an extra drink so that it looked like the meals were for more people than just me. I was always sneaking candy and hiding the wrappers from my husband — I felt totally helpless and ‘unsafe’ around certain foods, as if they were a loaded gun or something. After working with Isabel, there’s no such thing as ‘trigger foods’ for me, because binges are not part of my world anymore. I made a batch of luscious brownies last week, thoroughly enjoyed a couple, and ended up having to throw the rest out away several days later… because they got stale.” — HOLLY C., CLIENT, CHEYENNE, WY

“My food always looked ‘normal’ from an outside perspective…but my mind was worrying about food all the time. I was constantly trying to find the ‘perfect food plan,’ constantly thinking about food —thoughts about food took up a huge amount of real estate in my brain. Judging myself constantly based on what I ate was so draining – emotionally, physically and psychologically. I’d learned about ‘intuitive eating’ previously, but at those times I took the information in with a ‘diet mindset,’ since that’s all I knew. Isabel’s program was the first one to help me break out of those old and worn out set of control based beliefs that were holding me back from real freedom and sanity.” — ROSE L., CLIENT, NEW YORK, NY
