Hey Everyone! My name is Liz Conquest and I am 36 years old. I am a mother of a 14 year old boy and a wife to my wonderful husband Antonio. I am a certified Athletic Trainer who teaches high school Biology, formerly working at the collegiate setting, and a certified personal trainer through the NASM.  For the most part, I have a pretty normal life. But, my life wasn't always so normal. From the time I was 14 until my late-twenties I struggled with a serious eating disorder. I battled anorexia and bulimia for years. I've tried everything from counseling, to 12-step programs, to diet plans and nothing worked. It wasn't until I made the decision to really trust my higher power, my Lord and Savior, that I was able to truly overcome my food addiction. Was it easy, heck no! But, I had help. I had an awesome coach, great accountability, and an easy food guide that actually worked. I prayed my way to recovery and so can you!                                                                                           

                                                                                              

For the first time, I can go to sleep at night and not hate myself for binging/purging. I don't stress over what food restrictions or diet or fast I'm going to try the following day. I don't have dreams about food anymore (YES, I would dream about binging and wake up scared that I had to purge in the middle of the night). My life was a wreck.                                                                                               

I've never been overweight so, most people never knew my struggle. My family knew and my husband knew and only a select group of friends. I was dying to a secret that was killing me physically and emotionally. Thoughts of suicide crossed my mind because I just didn't want to live with my head in the toilet anymore. I was tired of running to the grocery store to replace food so my husband didn't suspect that I had binged before he came home from work. I hated myself and I hated my life. I had no self-esteem or love for myself. BUT, with God's help and with the help and support of this awesome group of people, I was able to fight my addiction and start loving myself again. To me, looking better and more toned was a plus, but getting my life back and my physical health was what changed everything for me! 

I would love to help others who struggle with their body, low self-esteem, eating disorders, and weight problems. I never regret what I endured or ask "why me" because I know that God would have never let me go through what I went through for nothing. I am using it now as a testimony to help others. So, join me and let's get healthy together!
