I had tried more approaches to eating/“dieting” than I’d even care to admit. Diana patiently taught me to institute consistency and stability in my nutrition. My body changed, undoubtably, but my mindset shifted far more. Gone are the days of beating myself up for eating and constantly trying to eat less.

My coach answered my relentless swarm of questions with thorough, educated responses and always taught me the “why” behind the changes and decisions we were making as a team. Knowing the “why” had always been so important to me. The amount of knowledge I have gained is incredible and makes the journey that much better for me.

For years, I took the "less is more" approach towards food until I started with BIN last year. My complex relationship with food began at the age of 10. Both classmates and adults taunted me day after day, week after week, and month after month about my weight. That led to a downward spiral of food restriction, hours of cardio, and me taking drastic measures to make myself smaller.
