50. Healing Your Relationship with Food and Your Body
from The EmpowerElle Podcast · host Veronique Normandeau
In this deeply personal episode of the EmpowerElle Podcast, I’m sharing my lifelong journey with food, body image, dieting, and learning how to build a healthier relationship with myself without guilt or obsession. From going on my first diet at 11 years old to losing and gaining 50 pounds three different times, I open up about the emotional exhaustion of constantly chasing the “perfect” body - and the realization that even when I reached my lowest weight, I wasn’t truly happy. Today, I’m about 25 pounds heavier than my lowest weight, but I feel healthier, stronger, more balanced, and more confident than ever before. I enjoy my life, I enjoy food, and I’ve finally found a version of wellness that feels sustainable and freeing. This episode is a reminder that you do not have to hate yourself into becoming healthy. You deserve a version of wellness that supports your mental, emotional, and physical well-being - without sacrificing joy, balance, or your relationship with yourself. If this episode resonated with you, share it with another woman who may need this reminder today. To learn more about EmpowerElle, visit: www.empowerelle.ca Follow on Instagram @empower_elle
