#91 Elissa's Story: "I Normalised Hating My Body Until I Realised How Much It Was Costing Me"

Most women don’t wake up one day and decide they hate their bodyIt happens slowly. Quietly. Gradually.In this episode, I sit down with Elissa, a 37-year-old pilot and breathwork coach, to talk about the moment she realised that body positivity wasn’t actually helping her move forward.She shares how years of dieting, weight regain, and trying to “just accept herself” led to something far more damaging than weight gain — normalising unhappiness, shrinking confidence, and quietly disconnecting from who she really was.This isn’t a dramatic before-and-after story. It’s a recognition story.We talk about:How women normalise feeling uncomfortable in their own bodiesWhy body positivity can feel supportive but still leave you stuckThe quiet ways weight struggles chip away at confidence and identityWhy knowing what to do isn’t the same as being able to do itThe moment Elissa realised this wasn’t something that would “fix itself”If you’ve ever told yourself:“Nothing is really wrong, but something doesn’t feel right,” This conversation will resonate deeply.Watch my The Cravings & Fat-Burning Masterclass:  https://www.neverdietagainmethod.uk/register-podcastFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/max.lowery/Book a Food Freedom Breakthrough Call: https://www.neverdietagainmethod.uk/call-ig
