Review for FINDINGbalance, Franklin, TN, USA
I first discovered fb when I was asked to design the curriculum. My philosophy of design is you must know your material before you can find the most successful method of presenting it. As I met with Constance and read the material, I was struck by my need of this type of resource in my life. I've struggled with my weight for the last several years after being diagnosed with breast cancer at age 35. I developed body image issues and depression after surgery and treatments. I've always been a very driven and disciplined person but have found myself not being able to control this aspect of my life. The beauty of fb is that it isn't a diet program, it goes after the reason(s) behind the eating issue. People don't want to be unhealthy but there is something in their life that brings them to an ED. Understanding the root of the problem, not just addressing the symptoms, allows you to be able to find the right tools to fight the battle that will end the war on your body. Fb goes there in a loving and supportive way and then points you in the direction to find the tools and community to help. What I have experiences so far has make me hopeful for the first time in many years that I will survive this . . . actually, not just survive but thrive.
