[UPDATE: This episode no longer reflects me. This episode is a piece of my history, it's a piece of the past, and I'm beyond grateful for the growth that has happened since I hit record on this one. I have recently completed a recovery program for the restrictive diets I've put my body through over the last 15 years, and I feel like a new person. That new me has NOTHING to do with an "after" photo. I will be releasing a new episode with the story of that transformation, and while at times I debated taking this episode down, I ultimately decided to leave it up as a piece of the story. More on that in a future ep!]
Original description for this episode:
It’s been a long time coming. For those of you who might not know, in the past year and a half I’ve lost about 60 pounds. But it’s not the first time in my life that I’ve done it…
This episode begins with an account of my complicated and lengthy history with food and exercise, including the period of my life where I obsessively counted every calorie I ate and tracked every minute on a workout machine to burn it off.
I’ve gone through two pregnancies, a few career changes, lots of random diets and workout programs, and many lifestyle adjustments, but my relationship with food and exercise remains a complicated one to this day.
And in the midst of so much conversation about the harmful effects of diet culture and body shaming, I felt called to create this episode which includes some of my personal realizations in the past few months that have lead me towards the healthiest year of my life so far.
I’ve learned so much about myself by looking back at some of my ingrained habits, my recurring patterns and emotional responses to life events, and I felt called to share them with you today in this episode.
It’s called The Weight Loss Episode, but it’s so much more.
This episode concludes with the mindset that I’ll be taking into 2020, complete with goals that look VERY different than my weight loss goals in the past.
