Karly Randolph Pitman lives, teaches and writes the path of growing human(kind)ness, a compassionate approach to heal food suffering such as overeating, sugar addiction, and more. She founded First Ourselves in 2006 after struggling with bulimia, binge eating, sugar addiction, emotional eating, body hatred, and weight obsession for over 20 years.
Because of her background in psychology (she graduated magna cum laude with a BS in cognitive psychology from Vanderbilt University), and her personal experience as a sensitive woman plagued by eating disorders, she spent years searching for a gentle way to heal food stuff that wasn’t based in fear, control or weighing and measuring. The result is her process, growing human(kind)ness, a how-to map to heal the roots of food suffering. It is kindness towards our tender humanity that enables us to change – to heal, grow, and move forward.
If we’re a good fit, where do you start?
If you’re looking for help with sugar, begin with Karly’s first book, Overcoming Sugar Addiction, which shares her personal story of healing her sugar addiction. To remove the blocks that are keeping you stuck in sugar, follow up with the sugar workbook and CDs, Becoming Binge Free. It’s the do-it-yourself, at-home version of Karly’s sugar class.
If sugar and sweets aren’t your problem, but general overeating is, begin with Karly’s online audio program, Heal Overeating: Untangled, to uproot the emotional roots of overeating.
