Food can take many roles in our lives. We use it as a source of comfort, security, as a way to pass the time and/or as a reward.  We live in a constant war between the way we look, the way we should look, and food's part in all of that. It can cause lots of physical and mental turmoil. This week's survivor, Melanie Angerer, talks to Nathalie and Vanessa about her experiences with food and body image issues. She talks about her food fears and body issues from her past. How she decided to seek help. She developed an awareness around nutrition and eating  The learned to accept and love her body. These things transformed her life and they inspired her to help others as a Holistic Nutrition Coach.
