Georgie Scotney, a 21-year-old woman, shocked many when it was revealed she had only eaten KFC chicken and fries for three years due to an eating disorder called ARFID (Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder). Her extreme fear of trying new foods limited her to this narrow diet. Encouraged by her boyfriend, Georgie sought hypnotherapy, which helped her overcome the disorder in just one hour. Now able to enjoy a wider variety of foods, including fruits and vegetables, she feels she has missed out on so much and is excited to live without the limitations of her former eating habits.
Georgie had long been a “stubborn eater,” beginning in childhood. Her fear of certain textures and foods escalated until she could only tolerate fried chicken and fries from KFC. The couple’s plans to travel the world made Georgie realize the necessity of change, knowing her limited diet would cause issues abroad.
Her boyfriend Dean encouraged her to try hypnotherapy. Although Georgie was initially skeptical, she found immediate success after a single session. She expressed her joy at trying fruits, vegetables, and even a traditional roast dinner. After years of restrictive eating, she was finally free to enjoy a healthy and varied diet.
Although the three years of eating only KFC could have had severe health consequences, Georgie has been fortunate. Her appearance and health remained unaffected, but she is grateful to have changed her habits before more damage could occur.
Georgie’s story is a powerful reminder that even those struggling with severe eating disorders can overcome them with the right support and treatment. Her triumph encourages others to seek help before it’s too late, showing that recovery is always possible.
