Untold Secrets of an Addict
Written by AND about Vanessa Chamberlin
I’ve trickled bits and pieces of my story through various blogs, speeches and videos.. for those avid followers (thank you!) you’re already in-the-know with some of my struggles and therefore testimonial. But there are a couple things I’ve kept private.. a couple things that I’ve stored away in shame and embarrassment, and now is the time to confess..
I believe that exposing some of the concealed areas of our lives is key to not only being free within ourselves, but also giving others the opportunity to speak openly about their issues.. this is the reaction I hope to cause.
Now I know at this point most of you must be thinking that this is about my dark, twisted path filled with drugs, alcohol and rehabs.. not to say that I didn’t ever find myself at the end of a bottle, or two, but this story is about something of a different nature, although equally as addictive and harmful to our bodies.
I Am a Recovering Cheese-Junkie and Sweet Tooth-Aholic
I know that may sound silly at first, but I am not making light of the seriousness of food addictions.
Please bear with me, I have a lot of information in this blog but I want to share every last bit with you!
Let’s Talk About My Controlling Sugar Addiction – Every single solitary night I would not only take myself, but I would take my entire family, to Golden Spoon. I would fill my precious daughter’s bodies with copious amounts of sugar, chemicals and processed by-products. I wouldn’t really give my husband a choice as he got equally as excited about the sweet tradition I brought into our lives. When I look back on the damage I did to the little, developing bodies of my children I cringe with guilt.. because, hey! Who likes to have an addiction alone when you can have company with your unhealthy habits.
I literally had dessert after every meal. I felt like I couldn’t function properly without that little bit of something sweet after breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks.. and so on. I maintained my same weight but counteracted any gain because of my intense working out.
I was killing my insides with this sugar and just putting on a facade that I had this beautiful physique. I was rotting my families innards with my pour decision driven by my food addiction, and we were all headed down a dark path.
“Sugar activates our brain in a special way. That is reminiscent of drugs like cocaine.”
-Eric Stice, Neurologist at Oregon Research Institute
Moving on to confession point number 2, stick with me there is a light at the end of this tunnel!
Cheese-Junkie to the Extreme – For 30 YEARS I battled with being insanely addicted to cheese. Everything needed a little, or very big, sprinkle. I would buy the giant family shredded cheese bags from Costco and eat handfuls out of it while making dinner.. or just any time I passed by the fridge. I encouraged my friends (in my younger years) and my family (later in life) to always dine out at a restaurant where we could enjoy a cheese filled meal. I was truly addicted and didn’t necessarily realize it until I started my quest of nutritional studies.
Did you know that cheese is one of the leading factors in high blood pressure and weight gain?
I know it is so acceptable, in America, to fill our bodies with sugars and dairies. It is second nature, it is normal, it is on every TV food commercial and billboard. I also understand that it is considered odd to be a vegan or plant based and it comes with the questions, “How do you get your protein..?” or “Don’t you miss cheese!?” Deciding to live a life that is healthy from the inside out can be a big step, and it doesn’t have to be all at once.
If you related to anything in this confessional or found yourself realizing that you too have some negative food addictions, I encourage you to start where I started – Cleansing the body. The best way to start anew is to get rid of some of the stored toxins you’ve been building up for years. This doesn’t have to be a miserable, tasteless, starving process..

I have made an easy to follow and super delicious road map for you as you take the plunge into becoming a better parent, spouse, or friend.

If this hasn’t been enough of a “Come-to-Jesus” moment for you, I’d like to switch from talking about the negative and now shed light on the positive! If you take the step to rid yourself of food addictions and make every area of your life better, here are just a few of the amazing benefits you will experience:
1. Increased Energy – When your body isn’t spending most of it’s time processing through the junk you fill it with, in an attempt to keep you alive and well, it can focus on doing what it’s supposed to. Each organ, once cleansed of toxins and now filled with plant based whole foods, will work in congruence with the other facets of your internal being and bring about boundless energy from morning until night! No more 2:00 or 4:00pm exhaustion. No more getting off work and wishing for a nap. No more being too tired to spend quality time with the kids or head out for a fun dinner with friends. You will live a vibrant, fulfilled, mental and emotionally clear lifestyle, and people will start to notice that you are better than you’ve ever been!
2. Lose Weight – While getting our insides in tip top shape is a humongous benefit on it’s own, we all like to look good! We want to fit into those skinny jeans and turn heads when we walk in a room in our favorite dress (or favorite sleek, button down for men!) Detoxing your body of toxins and in turn filling it with the best that nature has to offer will help you shed the weight faster than ever.. I promise! You will no longer need to count calories or feel guilty post-meal. When you’re eating to enjoy yourself and fuel your body, everything will work to enhance your figure, skin, hair and more. Say goodbye to stress and hello to a sexy, new you!
3. Improved Quality of Life – Let’s think about this logically.. we all are given 1 life. No matter your religious views, we all are here to live our unique life and make the most of it. Wouldn’t you like to enjoy this life without feeling like crap? Wouldn’t you like to get rid of your headaches, joint pain, digestive issues, sleep problems, depression… The impact that food has on our health is astounding. Our diets are at the core of almost every health issue. Who else doesn’t want to go through life living at half mast?
4. Removing and Releasing Toxins – From all the over-processed food and environmental pollutants we build up intense amounts of toxins in our systems. By removing these toxins and eating clean we build up our immune system. Say goodbye to that yearly winter cold you always seem to get around mid-November! Removing toxins is the first step in becoming a healthier you.
