Let me explain why I use to get so frustrated when Carolyn wouldn't receive my compliments seriously. I would say to her, "You're beautiful." Instead of saying, Thank You Sonia, I would find myself constantly saying, "You better get believer fixed" because she didn't believe me.  

I never knew exactly why until a few months ago.  What changed? A couple of things changed actually. First of all, Carolyn decided to change her mindset about body image. As a result of that EVERYTHING changed. Things changed for both of us. 

I hadn't realized how frustrating I was until we started talking about it in this episode. I had become her personal "pick-me-upper" and that was getting exhausting. It was so exhuasting to the point that I didn't want to compliment her any longer because I knew it meant spending extra time convincing her of it. 

I have to admit, this was a tough and emotional episode for both of us. But we survived it and here we are sharing our truth with each of you today.  

Body image affects us in all areas of our life but, it doesn't have to drive our lives.  We are in control of how we see ourselves and not how others see us; inside and out.
