I have disordered eating since I was five. I have never known what “normal eating” was. I have always used food one way or another as a coping skill. I have been 120 pounds when I was bulimic and 240 lbs. when I was bingeing. I have tried every diet under the sun. I’ve tried therapy. I never found a person or means to really get to the root of my issues. Then I found Jacqui. I was trying a class that Advantage Nutrition offered through my insurance. There she was like a beacon. She made “eating normally” sound so easy and possible. 2 years later when I was just plain fed up with trying and tired of abusing myself,  I called around looking for a nutritionist. Like it was destiny, I was referred to Jacqui. Here she was again. The day I walked into her office it was like a wave of emotion came over me. It was like I was seeing an old friend. I have laughed, cried and just plain freaked out at our sessions. Jacqui has always been there to lift me up. She has helped me like no one else has. She helped me to find my strengths and weaknesses and most importantly love myself. She has helped me be a better person all around. She helped me find a therapist who is amazing and Jacqui always links me with resources that I need. It has been a slow process but Jacqui has been a light at the end of my dark tunnel of an eating disorder. My recovery will be an ongoing process for the rest of my life but with her and the staff at Advantage Nutrition. I know my formerly impossible is now possible.
