Think about when you take a prescription medicine to alleviate symptoms. Each medication is coupled with side-effects that you have to be willing to deal with. Your diet is the same because you are not addressing the real problem. The real problem is that you don't love and accept yourself. You've been stuck in the comparison trap trying to look like the lady on Instagram, your coworker, or your sister. Listen in to hear Kim tell you all the side-effects of your diet.

We all have this little girl inside of us. She feels it's her job to protect us. Integrating your inner child and becoming the parent she's always desired, will develop a new level of compassion, that you never knew you needed. Your current approach with food and diets leads you down the path of keeping your emotional and physical needs separate. This is why you continue to find yourself binging in front of the TV. Its crucial to integrate your inner child, weave together your emotional and physical needs, and never diet again.
