Before Freedom Embodied Academy I was slowly but continuously gaining weight because of my eating habits. I had a chocolate stash at work and at home, it was my go-to comfort food. I was eating too much at mealtimes, snacking a lot on junk food and was easily swayed by others to have, “one more, it is just one, it won’t matter...
I had lost my joy in life. Food was a source of comfort and gave me brief enjoyment, until the guilt of eating kicked in. Then came the exercise plans, diets, fads, etc. etc. None of which worked long term. I thought that everything would be better if I could just lose the weight, but I could not stick to diet and exercise plans. Then I would be wracked with guilt for having no will power and feeling like a failure. Others could do it, why couldn’t I?
The program has changed my thinking on so many things. I have found my joy again. I no longer have my chocolate stashes; I do not need them. It wasn’t that I forced myself to stop, it just happened naturally over the course of time. I also lost 16lbs in weight while in the program as a result. My relationships have improved with my family and friends, as I am just a happier person to be around and much more present.
I am living life now. I am much gentler with myself, not beating myself up from guilt all the time. I am looking forward to what life has in store for me next. Admittedly, I was very skeptical at the start of the program, but I had to try something different, as nothing else was working. But it has changed me and freed me from food.”
I’d tried every diet plan out there and I’d lose weight but then I kept putting it back on. I’d invested so much time and energy and KEPT FAILING. I didn’t want to fail anymore so I told myself I’m just not going to try.
Then my husband approached me about Debbie’s program . I was mad at first and then all my fear came up - what if I start this and fail and can’t make it work! Then I will have failed myself AND him!!
But the truth was that I was SO uncomfortable with myself and in my clothes. My fat clothes weren’t even fitting! I was isolating too. I like people but I felt so uncomfortable that I was making up excuses and not going out. I was pulling myself back and LIFE WAS PASSING ME BY! I thought, I have to do something! I’M GOING TO DIE ALONE!
So I dove into the program and gave it my all...and it was more than worth it. I lost over 20lbs, my marriage is now better than ever, I have more confidence just being me AND…I’m eating to be FED, instead of to cover up something or stuff something. I’ve never had this experience in my life - eating only when I’m hungry and not snacking or eating to cover up pain.
If you’re considering this program I want you to know this program works. But you need to let go of what you think you know. You need to open your heart and your mind and show up. If you do that, and you do the work…..I promise that your life will change.
I tried every nutrition plan known to mankind, 12 steps, therapy, studied with Spiritual Masters and read bookcases of self help books. I was beyond frustrated and ashamed of myself as a health care provider giving advice. I felt like a failure – I just never did what I was supposed to do.
After applying the Freedom Embodied System, I no longer craved foods I used to binge on, I stopped thinking about what to eat all the time and I dropped 3 sizes and I lost 20lbs without even focusing on it.
I”ve become more present, have less judgement, am able to speak up, and all of my relationships have greatly improved - especially my marriage which went from being pretty rocky to a more loving, deeper connection than ever before.
Today, I wake up happier. I feel free – like I can breath easier. I’m spiritually connected, and can trust my gut and intuition to guide my choices. The path Debbie has created is different. It’s integrative, transformative, and has been truly magical for me. It’s been life changing, and at 65 that means a lot!”
I had tried diets and tapping and books but with no success. Then I signed up to work with Debbie and she led me through a detailed, profoundly spiritual, emotional process. I am so grateful for the care, community and prayer-based tools that have set me free. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her if this is your struggle too; you will find a home in Debbie’s community and in her enormous heart.”
