My journey in to health and wellbeing has been an up and down journey. When I was 16 I developed bulimia and suffered for many years culminating in my being terrified to even put food in my mouth. I became obsessed with needing to know exactly what was in the food and how far did I have to run to get those calories off. Being thin I thought was the ultimate goal to perfection. I am a person who li
kes to have control over my body; but back then what I didn't realise, was that bulimia was in control not me. When I became aware of what was in fact going on, i started to explore and ask why it was that I equated being thin to being perfect. What was perfection? I would love to say it as a Bling moment that I became free of bulimia, but in fact it was many years of support and soul searching to get to where I am now. To come to the realisation of what was right under my nose all the time, the fact that I am perfect just the way I am. Through the many years of self development my absolute terror of food started to transcend into a passion not a fear of food. Now I love cooking and experimenting with food. I love eating well, non processed, organic and whole foods. One thread of my philosophy is "Eat like your grandparents ate" . Don't eat foods that come in boxes and have ingredient numbers that you don't know or understand. I have always had a passion for helping people so I became a Nurse. i still love nursing but the next stage of my journey in supporting others from what I have learnt has taken me to where I am today. Food for the soul. Food for your life. Chocolate lemon cafe was created from the fear of food to true passion and I will ensure a happy balance is always my on my mind when sharing this journey with u. We have been given this amazing planet with incredible produce and everything we need. I am committed to sharing my passion for good food. So i created a cafe where I can now share my passion and love of food in a balanced and nurtured way. Life is all about balance. The world works that way as do our bodies. Our cafe will provide a healthy balance of goodness and the treats that make you feel loved in every way. Love Michelle
