After decades of being the fat girl in every room — the girl who'd be pretty if she'd just lose a lot of weight and the woman who's never stuck to a diet long-term, always shamed for eating the bad foods and mocked for eating the good foods — I've had enough. I'm big and beautiful and way healthier and happier than I've ever been.
Eventually, I found a way to my own idea of wellness. After going on an elimination diet and, in tandem, examining all the reasons I was so big for so long, I lost enough weight (70+ pounds) to make a big difference in my mind and my body. I was finally ready to love all my imperfect, messy, complicated parts and, ultimately, myself. Now, I'm sharing what I've learned about all those so-very-typical weight-loss recommendations the world has been telling me (and probably you) since nearly birth.
