Weight Loss - Can You Love Yourself & Want to Change Your Body?
In my very first episode back after a long break, I dive into a topic that comes with polarizing opinions, and that topic is weight loss. Does having a weight loss goal mean you're a part of "diet culture"? Does it mean you are no longer "body positive"? Can you pursue weight loss and still love your body? Join me in this short & sweet episode as I discuss how I feel about this topic, and my stance when it comes to pursuing weight loss.
