But we realized that there are components of meal prepping that are actually very helpful in maintaining not only an overall healthy diet, but a healthy relationship with food at the same time, and we're sharing those with you today!

In today's episode Lauren shares a little more of her story as someone who struggled with disordered eating and body dysmorphia. Last week we posted a video on Instagram in which Lauren talked about a specific picture of herself from high school that she constantly used as "motivation" to try and make herself look the way she did in that photo at all costs. When we posted it we were shocked at how many people said they had their "photo" too, and it made us realize that while these struggles are very hard to go through, they are certainly not unique, and we hope that by sharing we can help others out there feel less alone and more supported as we try to change the narrative around what fitness looks like.

Today we've got another deep dive on one of our Reasonably Fit principles: "health over fitness." In this episode we explore the idea that sometimes chasing after aesthetic or outcome-based goals can actually come at the expense of our overall health and well-being. We break down what this can look like and help you to recognize if there are areas in your life where you might be sacrificing your well-being in pursuit of "fitness" achievements.
