Speaker 1 (00:01):
Maybe that's Lisa, and we're just two girls that want
to have a conversation with you. Dear sixteen year old Andrea,
Hey gorgeous, Dear younger Lauren. Each episode is stories from people.
I would deprive myself by myself obsessively because I was
eating healthy. I couldn't understand that I had a problem
with food. Losing my period scared me the most. My
story starts when I was around seven. That's when I
(00:24):
started to hate my body. Body image is like our
inner picture of our outer self. Healthy behaviors play a
much bigger role at all health than the actual number
on the scales. Internal dialogue could be so powerful, and
often it's super negative and critical in a way that
we wouldn't talk to other people that we care about.
When you start to share your story, that gives other
(00:44):
people the courage to share theirs. I know you would
be proud now of how far you have come in
your relationship to food, exercise, and to yourself. I felt freedom,
I've gained relationships. I've found my true sense of self worth.
There's one thing I need you to take away if
you're going to be okay. I'm Amy Brown, co host
(01:05):
of the Bobby Bones Show and host of Four Things
with Amy Brown podcast, and I'm Lisa Hym, registered dietitian,
a wellness blogger and host of the Truthius Life podcast.
In early we got together to break the stigma and
expose the truth about disordered eating in a four part
podcast series called Outweigh. We were shocked by the support
and the love that this series got, and we realized
(01:28):
this is really an ongoing conversation and it deserves to
be its own weekly podcast. And in this new weekly
Outweigh podcast, you'll hear from people just like you sharing
their disordered eating stories. Plus we're going to bring on
experts to help guide and navigate this territory, and of
course you'll learn about our personal journeys along the way.
(01:48):
Will continue to expose the gray area of eating disorders,
the subclinical tendencies that many of us part taken but
failed to get help for. We've both been there, and
we want to make sure that no one feels alone
in this journey and that freedom is in fact possible
for each and every one of us. Our goal is
to show you the way by opening the doors to
conversation and provide a space for anyone who's going through it.
(02:10):
Were two women who get it and have found power
in voicing our experiences. You're not alone, and we want
to make sure that you know that. We hope to
be a small part of your healing journey, helping you
live your most aligned life free of food and body
image captivity, because you're here to do so much more
with your life. We look forward to joining us each
week so that you never lose sight that a life
(02:31):
without disordered eating outweighs everything
