If you turn to food for comfort and you’re not sure how to stop so you can lose weight, you need to hear how Therese O’Callaghan managed it.
Therese says it was like a light bulb switching on in her head when she looked in the mirror one morning and realised she wasn’t who she wanted to be anymore.
She felt drained and weak, her skin was terrible and her hair was falling out because she hadn’t been caring about herself enough.
Therese knew she needed to get healthy and lose weight for good – but first, she needed to heal her relationship with food!
Now a fitness influencer and weight-loss coach herself, Therese joined us on this week’s Body Smart Podcast episode for a brutally honest conversation about overcoming emotional eating and learning self-acceptance.
Therese’s story is incredibly relatable, but she also shares exactly how she was able to turn things around, giving practical advice so you can too!
She reveals:
😢 How she tackled emotional eating & escaped the self-sabotage cycle
📉 Why giving up on being skinny enabled her to lose 50 lbs
🥰 How learning self-compassion transformed her confidence
🎯 The practical steps she took to change her mindset & reach her goals
🏋️♀️ What helped her overcome ‘gym-timidation’ and fall in love with lifting weights
