“I was struggling with disordered eating habits and was not nourishing myself. I began eliminating entire food groups in order to achieve what I thought was “an ideal body.” However, I quickly realized that I was doing harm to myself and was not able to fix it on my own.
At first I was extremely hesitant about receiving help for my eating disorder.  But Madeline did not give up on me. She listened as I explained my fears and hesitancy and she worked with me to overcome them. After only a few weeks of meeting, I found myself challenging my “fear foods” and learning to let go of some of the practices I had developed.  After about six months, I had entered recovery and continued to work with Madeline to completely let go of my eating disorder. She worked with me to make weekly lists of my goals and create an action plan. This helped eliminate some of the overwhelming nature of recovery. She equipped me with knowledge about eating disorders, body image, and food in general.  She helped me unlearn all of the false information I had come across about food and nutrition and learn the truth about it.
Now, about a year and a half later, I am fully recovered and could not be happier.
I have recommended Real You Nutrition’s services to others and will continue to do so; it truly changed my life.”
