Today is a special episode – no interview or guest – because I am sharing a deeply personal story about my body. Since the age of fifteen, I’ve had a horrible relationship with myself and what I looked like, and after being labeled a “food addict”, I started on the dark path of yo-yo dieting and supposed quick fixes. For almost all my life, I have been measuring food, counting calories, working out obsessively, and sometimes even starving myself in an attempt to hit that perfect size. 

I have tried every diet and fad in the book, and when I came across an ad for CoolSculpting a few years ago, I couldn’t resist going for a consultation to see if this procedure would bring me one step closer to that goal in had in mind for so long. But what happened after the procedure is what really shook my world and pushed me further down the edge of self-hatred. This story has a happy ending though, so tune in to hear how I eventually forgave myself and fell in love with my body again.
