Summary
Have you ever felt like your struggle with food is something you just need to "fix" with more control, more discipline, or more willpower? In this episode, Leslie shares a powerful truth that challenges everything diet culture has taught us: it's not about the food. If you've been stuck in cycles of overeating, binge eating, or constantly thinking about food, this conversation will help you understand what's really going on underneath. She opens up about her own journey with weight, going from strict dieting to regaining it all back, and the guilt, shame, and frustration that came with it.
