Coles Addicted to Food: How I Fed the Pain When I Couldn't Speak It at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

She fed the pain until it nearly consumed her. Now she must choose: continue the cycle or find the courage to break free.
Maya’s life looks normal from the outside—successful, polite, always in control. But behind closed doors, food is her escape, her comfort, her secret addiction. Each binge begins with a whisper of relief and ends in crushing guilt. She’s not just battling calories—she’s wrestling with buried trauma, self-loathing, and the aching silence of a life unlived.
As Maya’s double life begins to unravel, so do her relationships. Her sister Rachel doesn’t understand. Her body is breaking down. Her heart is hollowing out. But the pain that once pushed her toward food begins to push her toward the truth.
Through rock bottom, relapse, therapy, and glimmers of grace, Addicted to Food follows Maya’s raw, emotional journey to reclaim herself—from shame, from addiction, from a past that’s never stopped haunting her. It’s a story of pain, yes, but also of power, redemption, and the quiet beauty of healing.
For readers who connected with My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward, Eat Pray Love, or The Body Keeps the Score, this is not just Maya’s story—it’s the story of anyone who’s ever tried to fill the emptiness with something that only left them emptier.
Sometimes the hardest hunger to face… is the o
ne inside.
