Freedom
Awaits You! What Are You Waiting For?
This once hopeless bulimic happily tells about her transformation
from misery to unlimited freedom and strength.
I came to the founder of the Metasteps process a timid, weak,
ashamed, bitter, worthless, useless, overweight, disheveled, unkempt,
bulimic wreck. Today, I am on a new footing. I stand tall and am
counted. I have respect for others and for myself. I care more about
how people feel than what they think of me. What anyone thinks of
me has nothing to do with me today; but that is not how I lived
my life for 33 years. Today I care more about what I think of me.
I am focused and efficient. I have strong feelings and am no longer
afraid of them. I feel alert, awake, and alive. Where once my heart
was cold, hard, and dark, now it is filled with love.
I am experiencing radiant and abundant health with effortless
abstinence from foods and amounts of foods that harm me, and I have
been freely given a desire to eat foods and amounts of foods that
are healthy, perfect, and right for me. I am at my right and perfect
weight through no effort or management of my own. And what is amazing
for this hopeless bulimic is that if I am not compulsively overeating
and bingeing, I don’t have the compulsion to purge! I am no
longer obsessed with and driven to exercise compulsively in an attempt
to control my weight.
Some other gifts for which I am profoundly grateful are that I
no longer have sick and enmeshed relationships with my family, or
anyone else for that matter. This is a true miracle, because I only
ever knew about “taking hostages,” instead of having
relationships, which meant smothering and possessing others. I am
free from any pain, shame, guilt, or hate surrounding childhood
sexual abuse I experienced. I am free from the pain of a fatherless
childhood and from my childish rampage to find some form of daddy,
a protector in my life who would fill that raging insecurity and
loneliness that had always driven me. I finally stand on my own
two feet.
I am forever mindful of the truth that none of the freedom and
prosperity, abundance and joy I am experiencing in my life is by
my own doing. I attribute all of it not only to God, but also to
Roy, who lives a life of love and service, peace and prosperity.
He is a person who, day in and day out, at no charge for his time
and service, has loved me and countless others who were very sick
and as hopeless as me back to health. And the beautiful result is
that we all thrive and want nothing more than to exuberantly share
with others how they too can be lifted effortlessly out of their
living nightmares of addiction and self-destruction; that is, if
they are sure they can’t stop on their own, if they have had
enough, and if they want to be free more than they want to be sick.
For a long time I wanted to be sick because I got a lot of attention
and mileage out of it. But eventually, overeating and vomiting got
completely out of control. The abyss of darkness and negativity
in which I was engulfed became more than I could bear, yet I couldn’t
stop any of it on my own.
It was at this time that I heard a very pretty, thin, confident,
poised woman, (whom I envied, of course) tell her story of how she
was a hopeless compulsive overeater and alcoholic and today is healed.
She sure didn’t look like a compulsive overeater to me! I
spoke with her and told her I needed help because I couldn’t
stop bingeing and purging. She referred me to Roy and Be Totally
Free! and I seized the opportunity.
For once in my life, I was provided a safe and nurturing environment
in which to explore all the issues of my past that I had never before
been able to face, despite years of therapy and 12-Step groups.
I felt safe, protected, loved, and nurtured. I was not judged or
condemned, made fun of, taken advantage of, ridiculed, or used in
any way. From all this, the gift of self-expression was given me,
and I have told you the rest. In closing, I will say that Roy’s
love and the Metasteps process is magic. He performs wonders in
peoples’ hearts and lives. I have been transformed, and know
that you can be, too.
