Helen Bennett is a food coach, who helps binge eaters, bulimics & "grey area disordered eaters" all over the world, regain control and create a healthy relationship with food again.

Helen has personal experience of being someone who was successful and appeared to be in control of her life, until she was behind closed doors with food, when all control was lost.

For 20 years Helen followed the cycle of:

• Start with good intentions.
• Lose control and eat to excess.
• Feel terrible guilt and shame.
• Try to undo the damage (extreme restriction, over exercising, purging)

When the traditional solutions failed her Helen was left more broken and ashamed.

Changing compulsive eating habits can be harder than quitting alcohol or cigarettes, especially when we know that food is good for us.

In a frank conversation Helen tells Michael Millward

• about her own relationship with food,
• how the problems developed
• her catalyst to change
• the lessons she learnt in the process that others may benefit from.
• the physical changes Helen made
• how she retrained her brain.

The best body for you is a healthy body.

Now enjoying a positive relationship with food Helen reflects on how she has changed and now lives more positively.

Helen also offers advice for people who live or work with someone who may have a negative relationship with food.

For many young people, life is tough for others it can be very comfortable. Regardless of a young person’s circumstances growing up can be challenging.

Working out who you are and having the confidence to be that person rather than simply trying to fulfil the expectations of family, teachers or friends takes a lot of self-confidence.

Helping young people build that self-confidence so that they can be themselves even when told they should not be is what Luke Kingston does.

In this episode of Fit for My Age Luke explains to host Michael Millward from Abeceder his own journey to identifying the purpose of his life and how he is working to fulfil that purpose.
