Let’s talk about WEIGHT LOSS! This episode is Part ONE of a 5-part series, where we’re covering everything from how to start losing weight, dealing with mindset issues, overcoming the dreaded plateau, and how to maintain your weight forever.
Today, we’re chatting about MY WEIGHT LOSS STORY, from my childhood influences through teenage struggles and young motherhood, until I finally lost weight permanently about 13 years ago. What did I do? How did I stick with it? And WHY did it work? I’ve asked myself these questions so many times over the years, and while we chat about it, Let’s RUN.
