Healing Anorexia and Binge Eating Using the Law of Attraction with Amanda Dixon

Love This Food Thing

Amanda never imagined that she’d ever recover after 25 years of eating disorders and exercise bulimia.

“The final turning point was when I had a huge binge one day and was extremely underweight. I went to exercise for four hours. My son was in daycare. I felt so much shame and guilt for eating so much I thought I’m going to make myself throw up. I’d tried before, but thankfully it never worked, but I tried until my throat was bleeding.

I just lay on the bathroom floor and thought I cannot live with this desperation in my life. I’m going to try one more time to recover and if it doesn’t work I’ll let the eating disorders take me.”

Amanda is a stay at home Mum who tried to recover several times, but it was only when she discovered The Law of Attraction via a podcast that she was finally able to challenge her thoughts and beliefs and get her life back.

Amanda’s story is another example of turning the prevailing narrative that you can’t recover from an eating disorder on its head.

She describes her experience as going from “broken to soaring.”

Be uplifted by Amanda’s story.
