No More Binging!
When I first met Marie-Claire, I was in the middle of my pregnancy. I have always been very interested in health and nutrition, but also struggled with a horrible binge problem. For the past few years I’ve been into raw food, I love how it makes me feel and I’m an ethnic vegan. Well, even though I wanted to live as a raw vegan, my disordered eating made it really hard for me. I’ve tried to get out of the starve/binge circle for years and years, but I could never make it stop.
A friend of mine introduced me to Marie-Claire, and I’m for ever thankful for that. I was desperate to get my eating right, and stop binging. I knew my baby needed me to feed myself right, both during pregnancy and now while breastfeeding. And even more important, I want to be a good role model for him when he grow up.
Marie-Claire has taught me techniques to make me strong when the urge to binge comes up, she has helped me stay focused, and I have learned how I can help myself- not just with food, but with everything in life.
I’m still working with completely trusting myself, my body, hunger, everything. But with the techniques I have learned, I get closer each and every day. And I’m not afraid of myself anymore. I don’t fear to binge, and now that this fear is gone, I am so much stronger, more positive and many times as happy as I used to be. I’m also the healthiest Ive ever been, almost all raw (I eat some steamed veggies, warm veggie soup etc. when I feel like it- maybe a couple of times a month), and my cravings for binge-food is all gone.
And all this thanks to the wonderful wonderful Marie-Claire. Her energy and kindness makes her so easy to talk with and to trust, and she has so much knowledge. Im so grateful for having her in my life.

After 5 successful and happy months…
Hi Marie-Claire, happy new year!
I’m doing very well. I’m always working on myself and I feel stronger and more positive than ever. I never binge (over 5 months now, woohooo!!) and being able to stop that has made me believe in myself in a whole different way. In a few weeks I’ll start to study nutrition online ( which is perfect, because then I can stay at home with my baby while studying) so I will finally get an education in something I truly love.
I’m also working on cutting way down on my nuts. A couple of months back I was afraid that cutting down on them would make me binge on “binge-food”. I’m not affraid of that anymore! I still use small amounts of nuts (like a tea spoon of nutbutter in my smoothies, handful of nuts in my salad) but I try to never snack on nuts alone and not keep big amounts of nuts and nutbutters around. This is work in process, but so far it is going great and I just take it one day at the time.
I’ve been working more on my vision board and I’ve also made a grateful-jar (a jar where I put one note every night where I write one, or more, thing Im grateful for that day). Love it!
I just wanted to let you know how I’m doing. And still, I’m SO thankful that I met you Marie-Claire. I know that I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for you.
Sending you hugs and love from Norway, Ragnhild
