It was a few weeks ago now that I stepped on the scale and realized that I've gained more than 30 lbs during this last year. I'm talking about my experience with managing my weight on today's episode of the podcast, because I know that I'm not alone in feeling frustrated by the number on the scale right now.

I do want to make sure to include here that I firmly believe that no one *should* feel any shame, guilt, or embarrassment over the numbers (weight, measurements, etc). We are all AMAZING beings in miraculous bodies! I know this and respect this in every single person. But I have to be honest with how my own upbringing, our culture, and my lived experienced being various weights in my own body have effected me.

All that being said, I know this episode may not be for everyone as the topic of weight is such a deeply personal one and can sometimes be very triggering depending on where you're at with your own body.

I have shared my full story in this blog as well, along with my 10 new approach commandments for being in a body that I love. Feel free to check it out or share with anyone who may resonate with this topic. http://www.abitfromwithin.com/dealingwithweightloss
