Ep. #196: Did You Think Your Life Would Be Different?

In today’s episode, you will discover how I had to grieve the loss of the identity of whom I thought I would be after losing weight.

I had to reimagine what my body looks like and the version that it is, rather than holding onto the dream of what it should be.

I had to decide which parts of my identity to keep and which ones to let go.

I will teach you about the process of grieving and then acceptance.
