Jill Angie is a runner, author, and a running coach who is representing for the curvy-bodied athletes of the world! A self-proclaimed fat runner, Jill grew to love running when she stopped thinking about running as a means to offset calories, and started looking at it as a way to build up her confidence and strength. Running became a source of joy for Jill, even when it was difficult. That’s something we can all aspire to! In this episode, Mel and Jill talk about how Jill came to be a fat runner who loves running, Mel’s birth story, wearing a two piece even if you’re a fat woman, and how to use physical challenges as a launchpad to self love.

 

Key Takeaways:

• You can be fat and still do things like marathons, triathlons, and other athletic activities

• Running is not just a way to punish yourself for what you ate

• Taking on physical challenges can be a launchpad to transform your thoughts and feelings for the better
