I just felt I was chubby and big boned, I never thought I was overweight or obese - I didn't have anything to aspire to, I didn't have anything to keep me going, I was not even excited that I could wear clothes because that was never the reason for losing weight in the first place so I got into depression - I got addicted to food. If I was happy i’d eat, if was sad i’d eat, so food became my pacifier, my Jesus, my satan, my everything - The thing about responding to life with food is that even when you have nothing to respond to, you've already created a habit of eating anyways - I don't want to leave my children early because I decided to be careless, because I want to “enjoy life”. I want to be old grey and healthy. - The last thing I want is to be is old and sick & inconveniencing my children and grandchildren. ------------ Grab Dr. Ezinne’s FREE TRAINING on ‘How to Lose Weight and Never Gain it Back’ at bit.ly/beyondweightloss so you too can finally finally get rid of the weight loss lifestyle, LOSE WEIGHT and NEVER GAIN IT BACK and live fabulously every waking day. --------- Schedule a consultation session with Dr. Ezinne so she can help you walk through your body struggles and rewrite your body story today - https://calendly.com/zinnyslifestyle/coachingsession If you have questions about booking Dr. Ezinne, sponsoring this podcast, guest suggestions or questions you’d like answered on the podcast; email us at [e-mail] To Subscribe to Beyond A Dress Size Podcast on: - iTunes - Stitcher - Spotify - Anchor - Google Podcasts - Castbox Simply head to anchor.fm/beyondadresssize choose your favourite platform and subscribe.
