Episode Description
“No one is broken. I’ve never met anyone who was broken.” -Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting and Got A Life Kelsey Miller took on a life changing challenge to embrace a new way of eating. In a society that pressures women to look a certain way, she definitely felt this pressure while growing up. She took years of yo-yo dieting and poor body image, and decided to face her fears and recreate her relationship with food. She embraced “Intuitive Eating” and went on the arduous journey to train herself to listen to what her body needed and craved, instead of binge eating, fad diets and late night purges. In her book “Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting and Got a Life” Kelsey lays out the struggles of this journey.
