I Was Technically A Diet Success, Why Am I So Anti-Diet? This Is Why

I was a diet "success". I was someone who hated herself skinny - who lost a bunch of weight and transformed her entire body ONLY because she wanted it to be a certain weight and look a certain way. And I spent 8 years helping other women lose weight, talking about lifestyle changes and sharing their weight loss before and afters. And now I spend my life talking about why those things don't work. All you'll ever hear me say about dieting now is that diets don't work, and that body hate and obsessing over being skinny are the worst ways to try to change your health and your body. How can she be so hypocritical? You may be wondering. It's a fair question if you are and that's what I'm diving into in this episode. There is a better way.
