Send us a text In this episode, I'm digging into Truths 85 to 89 of the 101 Weight Loss Truths series. Five more uncomfortable but important truths that can change the way you think about weight loss. Here’s what I cover: 85 – You can lose weight for whatever reason you want No, really. You don’t need a Gladys-approved noble cause to justify it. If it’s about your jeans, your confidence, or your desire for a thigh gap, go ahead and want that. Your reason is valid. 86 – Loose skin happens b...

Send us a text In this episode, I’m walking you through Truths 81 to 84 in our ongoing series of 101 Weight Loss Truths.

There Are No Fat Absorbing Foods This one goes deep and a little sideways.
