They desire a healthy relationship with food.

Testimonials
“I am sending this as a thank you for everything that you have done for me (and with me), everything you've put into my recovery, and for going above and beyond. My life is getting better day by day and this feeling, for the first time in my life, is not related to my weight, my size, or the diet I am following.
I have spent so many years missing out, hiding, isolating, being afraid to see people or participate "until I can eat normally " or " until I lose weight". In the past two weeks, I have accepted invitations for 2 weekends away at cottages, one BBQ, and one wedding and I booked a trip out west to Banff to visit friends.
I am also in the process of booking a trip to Mexico for January. I haven't been on a vacation in 7 years. I can't thank you enough. I'd say you've given me my life back but it sort of feels like I've been given a new life altogether.”
