My good friend Kevin Donahue is back on the podcast -- only this time, he is interviewing ME! It's no secret that my latest book Stressless Eating is a product of my own deepest struggles, biggest shames, and the journey that transpired even AFTER I lost close to 100 pounds. You would think that AFTER I lost 1\/3 of my body weight, I would feel beautiful and happy and free (and all the things the magazines promised me)... ...but because I never addressed the Self-Image and Body-Image that was causing me to think, act, feel, and behave like I was fat, ugly, a failure, or "destined to stay this way forever."..   ...yes, I lost the weight, but I brought all of my old habits, old thinking, and old behaviors with me.  I was bouncing from one extreme to the other! I would diet and restrict til I couldn\u2019t take it anymore, and then the polar opposite would take over: Carefree abandonment \u2013 eating whatever I could get my hands on, and then feeling guilty or trying to out-exercise my overeating.  And this caused me to LIVE on that up-and-down all-or-nothing 'Results Roller Coaster' that I speak of.  I was the OPPOSITE of free.  I was also the OPPOSITE of happy!  But everywhere I turned to get the help that I desperately needed ...I was simply thrown MORE diet and exercise plans at my EMOTIONAL struggles.  And the quest towards my own version of Stressless Eating and self-love truly began.  Tune in to this week's episode where Kevin sat ME down, asked me some really HARD questions, and together we revealed the Truth About Stressless Eating.  ","author_name":"Stressless Eating","author_url":"https:\/\/leanneellington.com\/podcast","html":"
