It's everything from what you can do physically when you're feeding your body to help those cravings, what you can do to deal with your emotions, and what you can do mentally for mindset change. [13:47] Do I want to be thin and fit into all my clothes? Of course. But my biggest thing is to have the energy to do all the things I love to do and play with my granddaughter. If I am not nourishing my body the right way, then I can't. [16:44]  It used to be that we did these things in secret and we didn't have people to talk to. Now that's the biggest message I want to get to people - you are not alone, you've not done anything with food that I have not either done before or had a best friend do. [22:27] I think slow is so much better than a quick loss because slow is more sustainable.    Connect with Hunter: Check out her website Follow her on Instagram Join My Programs Balance Eating Method Balance Program
