Can you share how that experience helped shape the approach that you now take with clients? Yeah, I had such a.

deep experience with binge eating where it was I couldn't see a way out it felt like I lived in a hole and I just it was slowly burying me it was one of those things where it had been going on for years and I can go back to high school and talk about my experiences with binge eating But I'm not going to tell you my whole life story right here.

But I will give you some examples of when I finally decided I needed to make a difference.

I was teaching at the time.

I had already been on this weight loss journey and I had been seeing weight loss.

But it had gotten to the point where I was now engaged.

I really wanted to fit into my perfect wedding dress.

take away the candy from your classroom or was it really just like changing the way you talk to yourself like I would love to hear more like actionable steps that you took or something similar to what you would tell clients who are struggling with the same things right now
