One of the biggest things holding you back from loving your body and the health & fitness results you want is the fact that you still see your body as the enemy.

You try to fight against it by restricting food and over exercising. You try to run away from it by numbing with social media, alcohol and drugs. When will you realize that your body is on your team?!

What would it take for you to no longer see your body as the problem?

This is the question I ask in today's episode and would love to hear your answers!

Send me a DM on Instagram @_leahtang and let me know what it would take for you to no longer see your body as the problem!

I've never cared about having wrinkles on my face and I've had them for a long time! But I've seen a large trend in those my age and younger getting botox! In today's episode I share with you why I'm not insecure about my wrinkles, my thoughts on botox and what I'd recommend you think through before you make that decision of whether or not you want to partake in the botox trend! Your wrinkles are not the problem!

Today I answer some of your questions in a Q&A style episode! Do you have questions you want answered when it comes to your body image? Send me an email with your question and with the subject "Q&A" to [email protected] and I will be sure to answer it in my next Q&A episode!

Your body is not the problem!

I know you're trying to work on accepting parts of your body more and being more neutral but saying 'It is what it is' is NOT acceptance.

I explain what it is in this quick 7 minute episode!

Your body is not the problem!

I went from pretty much only working out from home for 4.5 years to now I only workout outside of our home! This switch is something I never would have pictured doing 4, 3 or even 2 years ago! Honestly, I used to judge those who worked out in a gym and didn't understand. I spent a long time feeling uncomfy in a gym setting, but I was also struggling with my home workouts.

I cover it more in depth in this episode! My goal isn't to convince you to do one or the other but just sharing what has been working for me lately. I can't wait to hear what you think after you listen!

Your body is not the problem!
