Change to: I taste the freedom when…
I have real butter on my toast.

Before Beyond Chocolate my mind was dominated by thoughts of food, whether I should eat, what I could eat, I felt guilty about what I had eaten or how much I had eaten. I felt fat from bingeing and hating myself for not being able to conquer this eating business.

In my life ‘Beyond Chocolate’ I love eating any foods I fancy, knowing I need never eat cottage cheese and yoghurt ever again if I don’t want to. I no longer have that angst that food gave me, I no longer wake up on Monday morning and think, “today I will be good…” again, only to fail. There is no failure.

I trained to be a Fairy because Beyond Chocolate gave me the wherewithal to achieve such relief in my life from food and body issues that I would love others to feel that relief too.

My three Chocolate Fairy favourites are: bright colours, my heart mugs and exploring the countryside where I live.
