Starting a Weight Loss Journey : What I Wish I Would Have Known

09/26/23 • 32 min

Searching for happiness and confidence, I found myself obsessed with the idea that becoming smaller would make my life better and more fulfilled. Trying every diet, every weightloss pill, and every calorie-counting diet I could find, only to discover my confidence and happiness didn't change. I'm sharing my personal experience and insights as I went on a health and fitness journey, hoping to support those who find themselves in the same situation I was in, searching for happiness and confidence through weightloss.
Let's talk about 7 things I wish I would have known before I started my journey from using the scale, to the taste of vegetables, to judgement of other people and using workouts as punishment.
I hope that this episode prepares you and encourages you to embrace wellness as a journey, not a destination and to celebrate your body for the amazing machine that it is so you can foster a healthy relationship with it because THAT is where true health and happiness comes from!
