Sami and Aleen start this Dear DST episode with a listener Non Scale Win about throwing away old clothes that were holding her back (and buying more comfortable options in their place). They talk about embarking on a cross-country drive, getting a treadmill for the home, and enjoying a pint of ice cream without checking the label. They also dive deeper into the challenge of taking a picture of yourself without judging your own body. The Dear DST email is all about trying to get off the roller coaster of fluctuating diets and start down the path of intuitive eating. They give tips for where to begin (there’s a book for that) and weigh in on whether to stick with your trainer or go another route entirely.
