Penny Armour was judged about her body size her whole life. For decades the messaging from well-meaning people was that thinner was better. As a child Penny believed that unless she was successful with weight loss, she was not good enough. She believed that she was unworthy of love unless she was “normal size”. This set her up for a life of yoyo dieting, self-hatred and years and years of low self-esteem. Consequently, Penny developed perfectionism. If it wasn’t perfect, then it was a failure. If she wasn’t perfect then she was a failure. She put everyone else’s needs above hers and as a result she got sicker and sicker. Listen to Penny’s story as she tells how the kindness of strangers made her recognise that she was worthy of love and good health. Penny discovers the power of self-compassion and is able to let go of perfectionism. She is no longer an “All or Nothing" person and her health transformation is nothing short of spectacular.
