## Resource

Sandra Elia has lost 100 pounds. She's written a book on food recovery. She's built a program that's helped thousands of women. And she'll be the first to tell you that getting to your goal weight doesn't fix the way you feel about yourself. That part takes different work. In this conversation, Gina sits down with food addiction specialist and author Sandra Elia ( Never Enough ) to talk about the part of the weight loss journey nobody wants to discuss: body image. They get into how self-hate acts as a barrier to change and why thinness became morally coded in our culture.
