Episode 024. Let's talk about the numbers on my scale and the questions I ask myself about diets and exercise and the balance I've come to between all the extremes. I tell you all about how on one side of the spectrum "I let myself go" and how I've even tasted unhealthy obsession too. My daughter even tells us what FUPA is! (this you have to know!)

I share about my secrets to moderation and why my story isn't defined by what I weigh but rather by my mindset. Why is criticism, comparison, insecurity, and not fitting into society norm part of what makes us so body aware? I reveal a few mindset shifts I've had over the years that really helped me stay in the happy place of being comfortable with my body and mindful of my health.

You'll also find out why I shouldn't even call this my weight loss story, but rather my weight maintenance journey. Loosing weight has barely been the beginning of it for me, and I'll tell you why it's more about my mind than the scale. There will be a continuation episode next week on my evolving relationship with food.

Let's get real about weight loss and gain.
