I fought food and my body for 20 years before I escaped the diet trap


Having heard my mum talk negatively about her body every day of my life, refusing to wear togs or shorts because of her cellulite and varicose veins, I learnt as a child that the shape and size of your body was a reflection of your worth. I watched my mum go on and off diets, weighing her food, and I sat through more than a few Weight Watchers meetings with her, learning how to count calories and "be good" to make the numbers on the scale go down. If you're stuck in the maze of diets and unhealthy eating, your own journey out of there will be as joyfully transformative and unique to you as mine was.
