I AM NOT A VICTIM ANYMORE!

She made the connection between her out of control eating and her hidden secrets and was freed from the bondage of obesity.

A few months ago I went to the doctor and when I found out what my weight was I went home and cried and prayed for help. The next day I found the magazine with the ad for Be Totally Free!, and I called and met the founder soon after. What I have learned from him is changing my life.

I have had problems with overeating and being overweight since I was a child. I did not become overweight until I was 13 years old but I gained steadily from that time on. I never tried to follow any diet but what I did do was try herbal remedies and fasting hoping if I cleaned out my system, I would end my cravings. These methods only helped for a short time. I would go back into the same habits of eating sweets and high fat foods. I thought my problem was purely physical. I didn’t connect my eating with my emotional problems until I met and began working with Roy Nelson, the founder of Metasteps. I thought I ate because I was hungry, not because I wanted to escape from my life. I had problems connecting with my family and I had problems with men and in my relationships at work. I have never had a satisfying healthy relationship, especially with myself. I would eat and eat to take my mind off my problems, and I never honestly looked at that until I started working with Roy.

I have had to face things about myself that I didn’t want to. I am learning to face the truth about my behaviors and my attitude and how that creates my experiences. I used to see what I wanted to see, and I always chose to see myself as a victim, and I refused to see my part in constantly recreating the experiences I wanted to avoid. Roy has helped me to see that my beliefs create my world and that my only problem is me and my incorrect beliefs, which affect my choices and my actions. Those choices and actions kept me where I didn’t want, and Roy has been guiding me in facing those negative beliefs and releasing them. Nothing I had ever tried before had helped me long-term because they were all superficial solutions. Roy and Metasteps has helped me to make changes at the core, and has helped me to see things how they really are and accept responsibility for the circumstances in my life.

I have been able to talk honestly about personal behaviors that I have been deeply ashamed of and that I tried to keep hidden. Roy has helped me and guided me without judging me or making me feel bad about my past and myself. He has helped me to examine my behaviors and has supported me and has met with me whenever I have needed and wanted to. Since the first time I spoke to him on the phone I was effortlessly able to stop drinking caffeinated beverages and eating sugar, which is a miracle because I lived on iced tea and Coca Cola and I rarely drank water. Since that day I have been off caffeine with no withdrawal symptoms or desire to have any, and I have lost 29 pounds so far. I have a long way to go yet, but the only reason I have been able to do what I have done so far has been because Roy has helped me.
