Sophie Chiche sits down with Molly to share how she built a loving relationship not only with food but with her own body.

Sophie weighed 350 pounds when she decided to break up with sugar. The beginning of that journey was one of “self-destruction”, as she puts it; but, she saw it through to the end. She passionately reflects on the most challenging obstacles she faced and the life-altering lessons she learned through the years.

Listen in as Sophie discusses how she got to the point where she not only shed all that excess weight, but also came to develop a healthy and productive relationship with food. She talks about the importance of being strong enough to remove bad influences—including people—from your environment, and to get to the point where every bite of food becomes a bite of self-love rather than of self-destructiveness.
