Show Notes
This week we talk to Sam, a client of Gillian's whose pursuit of the perfect body led her into years of restrictive diets, an obsession with wellness fads, and a dedication to bodybuilding and completely transforming herself over and over again. After spending decades pursuing thinness and thousands of pounds later she discovered intuitive eating, a path that would lead her directly to Gillian for support. Her story of rebuilding trust with her body and accepting herself as a different size wasn’t straightforward, she admits she was skeptical and thought she would never truly be able to relinquish control of food and tracking numbers, in this episode she shares the pivotal moments that lead her to be able to be around food and be on the side of her body for the first time in her life.
