Amy’s Journey: Discovering freedom after trauma and disordered eating
EP159: Amy’s Journey: Discovering freedom after trauma and disordered eating
* Please Note - This episode discusses early childhood abuse and may be upsetting for some listeners.
In this deeply moving episode of the Weight Loss Warrior Podcast, I sit down with Amy from Dorset, who has one of the most powerful transformation stories I’ve ever shared on the show.
Amy bravely opens up about her past, including childhood trauma and how it led to binge eating disorder, secret eating, and years of believing that her life was already over. At her heaviest, everyday life became a struggle - from not fitting into seats and breaking chairs, to withdrawing from relationships because she believed she wasn’t worthy of love.
But Amy’s story is also one of resilience and hope. Through counselling, a defining mindset shift, and a determination to reclaim her life, she went on to lose an incredible 13 stone (183lbs / 83kg). More importantly, she discovered self-belief, freedom, and the joy of truly nourishing her body.
We discuss:
💔 The connection between early childhood abuse and disordered eating
🛑 Why binge eating became both a survival tool and a prison
🔑 The moment Amy realised her life was not over - and the fire that lit inside her
🥗 The mindset shift that turned “treat food” into punishment, and real nourishment into joy
🏃 Falling in love with exercise and building a lifestyle she loves
❤️ Why forgiveness and self-compassion are the keys to lasting change
Amy also hosts her own podcast, Words to Lose By, where she shares powerful mantras and affirmations that supported her journey - a brilliant listen if you want some motivation and to discover the power of a more positive mindset.
In addition and as promised during the episode, Amy has ANOTHER podcast talking about her experience as a Dolphin trainer and I'd like to share that also - Click here to listen to "The Dolphin Pod"
Amy's message is clear: if she can change her life after everything she’s been through, so can you.
