And if you don’t have that body, you’re not good enough, you’re not pretty, you’re not smart, you’re not healthy — and we’re calling B.S.!! Our names are Stef Streb and Jules Ohlemacher, and we invite you to come talk all things body with us in The Babesment! We believe everyone — EVERYONE — should feel at home, confident, and comfortable in their bodies. Too many of us have been living lives that are too darn small for too long. You are worthy of whatever life you want, regardless of what your body looks like, and we want to empower you to live your biggest life with your whole heart starting RIGHT. NOW. You deserve it.https://thebabesment.comtrueepisodicnopodcast87. The FinaleThe FinaleHere it is: the last episode of The Babesment. Even though this is the last episode of the show, that does not mean it has to be the end of the amazing work that’s been done over the past two years. As we wrap things up, Stef + Jules talk about how to cope with the hole in your podcast feeds, what comes next for each of them, the inevitable T Swift update, and the immense joy and gratitude that comes with being a part of other women’s healing. This movement still has so far to go, but we can still appreciate how far we’ve come. Think about how you used to be and how you’ve grown – even in the smallest ways. And we wrap up the pod the same way we wrap up every single episode, by answering our last question for the last time. We promised we wouldn’t cry 😭.

How to Find Value in Our Bodies: Beyond Ableism with Alex DacyHow to Find Value in Our Bodies: Beyond Ableism with Alex DacyToday’s guest is Alex Dacy, AKA @wheelchair_rapunzel on Instagram and TikTok, and she is ALL ABOUT disability representation + body confidence. She’s a disabled creator, writer, model, advocate, and all-around wonderful human being. Ableness is a core part of the body liberation movement, and one that doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves which makes Alex such an important voice. She has a way of cutting through the fluff and getting to the core of what actually matters about all human beings – all the while being funny as shit.

The harmful effects of diet culture impact more than your body image and relationship with food. The perfectionistic, all-or-nothing thinking that permeates diet culture can seep into every single area of your life. Stef + Jules explore the ways social media feeds into the worst of those tendencies and how to fight back against perfectionism.

We are human beings, and human beings are imperfect. Diet culture doesn’t want you to be human: it wants you to be an object. Be kind to yourself. You’re never going to be perfect, and that’s a good thing.

How to Stop Silencing Your Body + Learn to Connect Intuitively with Kathleen LayerHow to Stop Silencing Your Body + Learn to Connect Intuitively with Kathleen LayerKathleen Layer is an intuitive eating and body image coach, yoga teacher, lover of fresh-baked anything, and a firm believer that diet culture sucks. Like, could she belong any more in The Babesment??

She talks about her relationship with her body – how, early on, she learned to equate her value and worth with her size – and the trauma that comes with your body changing so much after puberty. She also dives into how she got sucked into diet culture, the trap of swinging between hardcore diets and the “fuck it” phases, and the relief that came from finally discovering and implementing intuitive eating. While intuitive eating can be easy once you get there, the journey to it can be really hard.

Developing Self-Trust + Embodying Your Past + Future SelfDeveloping Self-Trust + Embodying Your Past + Future SelfWe all hit those moments where everything feels hard. Sometimes, when things get rough, you have to learn to anchor into trust with yourself. When you think about it, trusting yourself is SO important. It takes so much trust to undo the harm that diet culture has done and to believe that there is something better on the other side. And sometimes trust comes easy… but that takes so. Much. PRACTICE! Anytime we’re trying something new, when we’re learning to become a different version of ourselves, trust is going to be a struggle. It’s going to be scary. But that fear is an indication of growth, and when you come out the other side OK, despite the fear, that’s where trust is born.

]]>We all hit those moments where everything feels hard. Sometimes, when things get rough, you have to learn to anchor into trust with yourself. When you think about it, trusting yourself is SO important. It takes so much trust to undo the harm that diet culture has done and to believe that there is something better on the other side. And sometimes trust comes easy… but that takes so. Much. PRACTICE! Anytime we’re trying something new, when we’re learning to become a different version of ourselves, trust is going to be a struggle. It’s going to be scary. But that fear is an indication of growth, and when you come out the other side OK, despite the fear, that’s where trust is born.

How to Live *With* Your Body + as More Than Your AppearanceHow to Live *With* Your Body + as More Than Your AppearanceWe are all more than bodies – but we also don’t exist without them. It can be hard to find that balance between living as more than bodies while also living in our bodies and appreciating them. Our bodies and our selves are one and the same. Separate, but together.

Let’s try this little tweak: instead of “I am more than my body,” try “I am more than my appearance.”

We each have a unique journey with our bodies, and it’s going to take a personal approach to find the balance that works for us. There’s no one right way to heal from the traumas of fat phobia.

How to Respect and Care for Your Body through Health Challenges with Morgan FazioHow to Respect and Care for Your Body through Health Challenges with Morgan FazioMorgan Fazio is an anti-diet and body image coach, as well as a personal trainer. She helps her clients heal their digestion, make peace with food and exercise, and balance their hormones. She tells a powerful story of experiencing physical pain in her body and eventually being diagnosed with endometriosis, PCOS, SIBO, and leaky gut. Eventually, she learned to trust herself and advocate for her needs. Our healthcare system is so concerned with body size instead of body health, that just getting a doctor to listen to her (instead of just looking at her) was a battle. Tired of how awful the restriction made her feel, she set out to find freedom from food stress. Because isn’t the point of all of this to feel good?

Thankfully, his amazing Heartfelt community pulled through with love and support and they rode the wave through this last year. And that’s what they’re here to talk about: building awesome communities that encourage people to come together as a diverse group of identities. We talk about how Heartfelt Yoga has evolved and spun off into Heartfelt Cycle, how it takes the magic they built up in their yoga studio and brings it to the cycling world, and how thoughtful they were about the numbers and metrics they use to keep people from feeling disconnected from their bodies. Vinny has managed to create an awesome space that’s inclusive, intentional, and no-bullshit.

Best Summer Ever: How to Take Your Life Back from Diet CultureBest Summer Ever: How to Take Your Life Back from Diet CultureNote to the Taylor Swift-skippers: post-Tay discussion begins at [16:24]!

Summer is here, babes. When you’re still under the vice grip of diet culture, you’re stuck in a space of believing “I’ll be happy when…” You’re deferring your life and your happiness, and that’s not OK! The truth is: the more we focus on what our bodies look like and try to “fix” them, the more dysmorphic we feel about ourselves and the more we feel like we’re never quite good enough. When we force our bodies to get smaller, our lives get smaller with them. So don’t give in. Take your life back from diet culture, break free from the scarcity trap, and start living NOW!

The Color of Diet Culture: An Image Based on Racism, Sexism, and the Thin Ideal with Racquel Wallen + Christine SongThe Color of Diet Culture: An Image Based on Racism, Sexism, and the Thin Ideal with Racquel Wallen + Christine SongWe have two geniuses on the podcast today! Chris Song helps high-achieving women make peace with food and their body. Chris is an anti-diet and body image master coach, and Racquel is a personal trainer who does fitness through an anti-diet lens.

Together, they did a workshop recently on The Color of Diet Culture: An Image Based on Racism, Sexism, and the Thin Ideal. We’ve talked before about the ways in which diet culture is steeped in white supremacy, but they took it to a whole new level in this one. They talk about the importance of understanding the history and roots of diet culture and how it tries to strip us of our culture and heritage by white-washing healthism.

We’ve got to stop stripping away our identity to be a part of this world. It’s time to reclaim our cultural identity, stop using BMI as an ideal to strive for, and stop expecting our problems to go away when our body is a certain size. And we have to stop letting them put cauliflower in popsicles — * ~ * ~ diEt CulTuRe ~ * ~ * has gone TOO FAR!

Don’t Drink the Poison Punch: Running & Diet Culture with Kelly RobertsDon’t Drink the Poison Punch: Running & Diet Culture with Kelly RobertsKelly Roberts is a total badass. She’s the head coach and founder of the Badass Lady Gang, creator of the viral #SportsBraSquad hashtag, and co-host of the Poison Punch Podcast. Kelly is all about female empowerment. She never classified herself as an athletic person growing up, but after graduating from college without a career and the sudden, tragic death of her brother, she got into the habit of working out just to numb herself. That’s when she realized that she was drinking the poison punch — all that nasty shit and poisonous messaging that we’re consuming on the daily. Trust us: Nobody gets through life unscathed by the toxic effects of diet culture. But through community, honesty, and the simple act of putting one foot in front of the others, Kelly was able to move past her body image issues. We talk about how horrible running is, why finishing a marathon is the best worst day of your life, how women use clothing as armor, and embracing your sports bras. We only get one life to live. It’s too short to spend worrying about how we look.

Managing Sneaky Summertime TriggersManaging Sneaky Summertime TriggersWelcome to The Babesment, the podcast that’s not about Taylor Swift but also kind of about Taylor Swift. Summertime is almost in full swing, and while Stef + Jules are totally here for it, this season can bring about a lot of nasty triggers for people. Whether you’re new to this journey of ditching diet culture or you’ve been on it for years, the programming of diet culture still has a way of sneaking up on you. Stef + Jules share their own experiences being triggered, as well as the stories that showed all the progress they’ve made. It’s so important for you to recognize what your own beliefs and values are, not what diet culture has told you to believe. And don’t worry about how you look — you’re beautiful whenever you’re doing what feels right.

How to Trust Yourself + Accept Your Bigger Body with Molly GoodmanHow to Trust Yourself + Accept Your Bigger Body with Molly GoodmanMolly Goodman is a coach who guides women into the gray area so they can abandon diet culture and perfectionism and stop abandoning themselves. She’s an advocate of learning to trust yourself and your body — the exact opposite of what diet culture tries to teach us. Like how plus-sized clothes are not only separated from others, but they’re harder to find, more expensive, and have less selection. Diet culture constantly tells us that we are not worth it, but we are ALL worth it. And guess what: We ALL need to wear pants (We’re still fighting this one, though). She talks about her journey to trusting herself, learning to accept her body, the lessons gained when we stop numbing out of the hard stuff, and just how much bigger your life gets when you stop trying to force your body to be smaller.

The Control Trap: How Counting Macros Holds Us Back with Ashton BarrettThe Control Trap: How Counting Macros Holds Us Back with Ashton BarrettAshton Barrett is a total energetic match for the show. Ashton built up a career around macro counting until she realized it just wasn’t working for her. She kept “failing.” She pivoted into intuitive eating when she noticed all of the ethical problems around what she was teaching. Macro counting still diet culture and one the sneakiest, bitchiest ways it wiggles into your life. Stef + Jules have this deep, powerful conversation with Ashton around the macro experience, her experience as a macro coach, and why it’s so harmful. Her lens into this subject is SO powerful because she’s been through it herself, and she knows there is true food freedom to be had on the other side.

Redefining Hot Girl ShitRedefining Hot Girl ShitTired: Hot Girl Summer. Wired: VAX GIRL SUMMER.

Hotness is just a construct. It’s diet culture and the beauty industry trying to tell you that you have to look a certain way to feel a certain way — and the only way to look that way is to buy their shit. But the truth is that you get to feel, be, and do whatever you want... whenever you want! And since we know that hotness is all made up, let’s define it the way we want to.

Doing hot girl shit is not about how you look, it’s about how you feel. Instead of focusing on what we need to LOOK like, let’s focus on what we want to DO or FEEL. Let’s say Hot Girl Shit is us: standing in our worth, owning our space, speaking up, knowing our value, and doing what we want. Let’s reclaim Hot Girl Summer and live our best lives!

The Truth of Weight-Loss Journeys, Body Acceptance + Photography with Teri HoffordThe Truth of Weight-Loss Journeys, Body Acceptance + Photography with Teri HoffordTeri Hofford is a body image activist, author, and photographer. She helps photographers embrace the beauty of diversity in themselves and the world. Her book, “The Geode Theory,” allows women to reconstruct their relationship with their bodies. When she looked around at the world, she noticed that certain body types were being erased from history because nobody took pictures of them. And when you look at how the media portrays those bodies existing, it shows a narrow, broken portrait of reality. But fat bodies are having babies, they are getting married — and they are deserving of photos. We can’t let the media define how fat bodies existed. We talk about creating a message and a mission that transcends the medium, taking action when things piss you off, and recognizing fat phobia’s hold on our lives.

As vaccines for COVID-19 roll out more and more, you may be feeling some anxiety around showing up in the world in a bigger body. Who cares if you've gained 10 pounds? You SURVIVED, and that's something worth celebrating. If the worst thing that happened to you over the past year is that your body expanded to keep you safe, then that's okay.

From Scarcity to Abundance: Pursuing Fitness Because It Feels Good | with Amy TahmizianFrom Scarcity to Abundance: Pursuing Fitness Because It Feels Good | with Amy TahmizianAmy Tahmizian is an amazing fitness instructor. She grew up playing a lot of sports, but around the time she stopped playing, she realized that her relationship with fitness, working out, and the way she viewed her body was starting to get funked up. She zeroed in on what it was about working out that she loved and, instead of focusing on appearance and other factors, she started to look at how it made her feel. As a coach, she works to help others re-frame exercise as self-love, and we talk about the fitness instructor’s role in creating an environment that is healthy, accessible, positive, and uplifting.

What to Do When Your Friend’s Aboard the Diet Culture TrainWhat to Do When Your Friend’s Aboard the Diet Culture TrainSo you’ve been listening to the show forever and you’re starting to feel like a pro at this anti-fad diet, intuitive eating, body image healing stuff. But you’re wondering: How do I approach these topics with my friends? Even if we’re on a body image journey, if the people closest to us aren’t along for the ride, they may wind up saying some triggering things or resisting when you share what you’re going through. Sometimes we get so deep into this world that we forget how much it took to break free of the grip diet culture had on us. Stef + Jules dive into how you can respect their journey, while also keeping up the boundaries you need to protect yourself.

Resilience Through Infertility + Miscarriage | with Olga LacroixResilience Through Infertility + Miscarriage | with Olga LacroixThis conversation with Olga goes places Stef + Jules weren’t expecting, and it is beautiful. Olga shares her journey of infertility and miscarriages, a story of incredible resilience. Whether you’re planning on having kids or not, this is an important conversation for every person to hear, because chances are that you know someone going through something similar. If we can make this even a tiny bit less challenging on anyone who’s experiencing this by being more open and vulnerable and supportive, that would be worth it.

This Thanksgiving, My Body is Not Up for Discussion | with Stef + JulesThis Thanksgiving, My Body is Not Up for Discussion | with Stef + JulesWe recorded this episode one week after the election, and we unloaded some FEELS. How we coped throughout that very long week, our interactions with trolls online, how we’re preparing to deal with the legacy of Trumpism, and what we should all be giving ourselves permission to celebrate right now — it’s a lot.

And in the spirit of the Thanksgiving season, we have some DEALS!!

We know how hard it can be to invest in yourself, so we want to give you a little bit of motivation to kick off 2021 in the best Babesment way we can! 

To do that, we’re offering listeners an exclusive The Babesment Bundle. That’s One Goddess Session + The Diet Detox 180 for a mega discount. If you’re interested, email us at thebabesment@gmail.com with the subject line “Babesment bundle” and we’ll get you all the details! (offer ends after Cyber Monday 2020)

Sneaky Ways Diet Culture Effs Us UpSneaky Ways Diet Culture Effs Us UpDiet culture has a way of being insidious and sneaking into our minds and our lives without us even realizing it, especially in the places where we’d least likely expect to see it. Just look at personal growth—as awesome as it is—and how it’s so often tied to weight loss, even though people who see through diet culture KNOW that forcing weight loss won’t get you the changes that you want. And just look at weight loss case studies, where they only ever show us the effects in the short-term, leading us to believe the changes stick when, statistically, the weight usually comes back. Diet culture is still in ALL of us, and you are worth healing your relationship with food and taking your life back. Let Stef + Jules light you up.

You Can’t Tell a GD Thing About a Person Based on Their Body | with Jessica ErbYou Can’t Tell a GD Thing About a Person Based on Their Body | with Jessica ErbThis conversation with Jessica Erb, LCM gassed us up and fed our souls on a DEEP level. Really, we wish we could (politely) broadcast this convo straight into the minds of every woman in America because Jessica speaks the TRUTH! We chat about everything from being in a bigger body and practicing yoga to this commonly held idea that the sky is falling when our body goes through natural changes to the wonders of damn good massage. Instead of focusing on all the toxic messages out there right now, we hope you spread some positivity and go gas up this beautiful soul over on Instagram!

]]>This conversation with Jessica Erb, LCM gassed us up and fed our souls on a DEEP level. Really, we wish we could (politely) broadcast this convo straight into the minds of every woman in America because Jessica speaks the TRUTH! We chat about everything from being in a bigger body and practicing yoga to this commonly held idea that the sky is falling when our body goes through natural changes to the wonders of damn good massage. Instead of focusing on all the toxic messages out there right now, we hope you spread some positivity and go gas up this beautiful soul over on Instagram!

Being a Creative Babe | with Megan Leigh BarnardBeing a Creative Babe | with Megan Leigh BarnardMegan Leigh Barnard is an amazing photographer and the co-founder of Creative Babes, a community born out of the desire to be around women in the creative world instead of these spaces dominated by alpha men. Since then, it’s grown into a space that is inclusive of so much more than just creative professionals and more than just women. She gets into the connection between body and soul, networking without a scarcity mindset, and everything that has led her to where she is today.

Validate + Love Yourself | with Lindsay PinchotValidate + Love Yourself | with Lindsay PinchotLindsay Pinchot’s life radically changed the day she embarked on a journey to heal her own relationship with her body, food, and exercise. Stef + Jules often talk about how diet culture and being consumed with thoughts of your body and exercise keep you distracted from playing your life out fully, but Lindsay’s story really puts that into stark perspective. When you drop all of that baggage like the hot garbage that it is, it frees up so much brain space—and Lindsay is a shining example of what you can do with all that brain space when you can reclaim it!!

How We See Ourselves: Our Role in the War Against Diet CultureHow We See Ourselves: Our Role in the War Against Diet CultureWe have an exciting announcement: MERCH IS HERE!! Flaunt it like a boss and send some love to @nickyisicky for designing this incredible artwork. These will only be available for two weeks so get your orders in now!

This is our first podcast recorded in the A.F. period — After Folklore — and we have some BIG feelings we need to get out right off the top. If you’ve ever felt anything in your entire life, you need to listen to Taylor Swift’s new album… after you listen to this episode! But what we really want to talk about today is how we see ourselves in the body positivity, body liberation, and anti-diet space. It’s a tough conversation to have, but we think it’s so important to talk about how our different experiences in different bodies lead to these similar body beliefs, why we feel we need everyone on the team, and the difficulty of doing this work without tying your identity to your body. Diet culture… what a sneaky bitch. (Psst. Want that on a shirt? You can have that!)

Capturing Moments + People, Not Bodies | with Rachel Joy BarehlCapturing Moments + People, Not Bodies | with Rachel Joy BarehlThe first time Jules saw Rachel Joy Barehl’s website, she knew that Rachel was the right person to photograph her wedding (and she did AMAZING btw). But the more we got to know her, the more we realized that she’s an even more amazing person! We chat about why it’s ridiculous to expect 18-year-olds to know what they want to do with their life, the value of taking some time for yourself after high school, learning to joyously express yourself, growing as an artist, what goes into taking a great photo beyond the technical aspects, and why we need to shift from taking photos of people’s bodies to taking photos of who people are being.

Uncommitting to Being Small & Committing to Uncovering Implicit Bias | with Suzy FauriaUncommitting to Being Small & Committing to Uncovering Implicit Bias | with Suzy FauriaWe always start this show with the same question about our guest’s relationship with their body when they were younger, and we mostly hear the same things: we pick up bad habits and mindsets from our role models, we don’t feel comfortable inside of ourselves, and we don’t always feel like we have agency over what we (or others) can do with our bodies. We’ve been so conditioned that we need to be small and quiet and acceptable, emotionally and physically, and today we’re calling bullshit — with some help from a wonderful guest!

Suzy Fauria is a child therapist and anti-racist educational consultant who helps young people heal — she’s amazing — and she has a beautiful way of expressing what this quest to take her body back has been like for her.

Health At Every Size in Healthcare | with LeslieHealth At Every Size in Healthcare | with LeslieToday we’re talking about a topic that is near and dear to our hearts: the Health at Every Size (HAES) movement in the medical community. A lot of us have been invigorated with a new or renewed sense of social justice lately, and this movement helps create a more equitable experience for all people when receiving healthcare. These babes are here for it!

Our guest, Leslie, spent seven years as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse working in a hospital setting before going back to school to become a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and provider. Leslie brings a huge breadth of valuable experience to her practice and this podcast, and she has some fantastic insight into why HAES-informed care is so empowering when employed in a healthcare setting.

Being forced to take a break and hit the reset button on your life is a good way to find a little perspective on the things that really matter and the things that really just don’t matter much at all. But we’ve come to the realization that there isn’t some magical point where we’ll “get back to normal” after all of this. There’s just moving forward — hopefully, better equipped than when this crazy year started.

Diet Culture in Social Media + Adele FeelsDiet Culture in Social Media + Adele FeelsEarly in May, a photo of Adele posted to social media sparked a huge wave of diet culture discourse. We had a LOT of thoughts and feelings as we watched it unfold, but we wanted to take a few days to collect them before we sat behind the mics to share our feels with all of you. We believe that having conversations like these is a really powerful way for us to grow deeper in our relationships to our bodies and to ourselves, and we hope this episode helps you explore that relationship in a meaningful way.

Living Your Best Big, Loud, Extra Life | with Marisa McgrathLiving Your Best Big, Loud, Extra Life | with Marisa McgrathHave you ever felt like you’re supposed to act a certain way? Pretty much all of us are prescribed these roles early in our lives based on our upbringing, our birth-assigned sex, the shape of our bodies — and as we grow up, as we start to develop our own individuality and personhood, all of those Shoulds can build up in your brain and feel uncomfortable.

Our guest Marisa McGrath grew up feeling she should be smaller, should be quieter, should be well-behaved. But then she learned to say EFF THAT and be her loud, opinionated, extra self—and we could not be more grateful!! Marisa is pure joy, she has such a way with words, and we think this story of stepping into yourself will light you up.

Learning to Love Your Changing Body | with Jessica KapustaLearning to Love Your Changing Body | with Jessica KapustaJessica Kapusta is Columbus’ sauciest entrepreneur, and it all began when she was diagnosed with celiac disease. If you’ve ever dealt with a food intolerance or food allergy yourself or in your household, you’ve probably experienced the hunt for food that you can actually eat in grocery stores and restaurants. Sometimes it feels like you’re forced to settle. But Jessica and her husband got sick of settling, and they realized millions of other people must be going through this same ordeal, so Jess created John & Jane’s Sauces.

Jessica has an empowering story where she shares her unique and important perspective about forming a relationship with her changing body, why her weight gain was critical to reclaiming her wellbeing, and how to make peace with food while living with dietary restrictions. We’re really excited to share this conversation with you all!

Beauty From the Outside in | with Debbie PenzoneBeauty From the Outside in | with Debbie PenzoneIf you live in the Columbus area, we probably don’t have to introduce you to our guest: the one and only Debbie Penzone! 

Jules has the absolute privilege of working for Debbie at LIT Life + Yoga, although most people are probably more familiar with her name from PENZONE Salons + Spas. She is one of the kindest, most generous, and abundant human beings that we have ever had the pleasure of meeting (and, no, Jules was not asked to say that).

I don’t know if one episode can truly contain all of the radiant positive light that she emanates, but even just a small fraction of that can charge you up for a week. Luckily, she also just started hosting her own podcast, From the Outside In, so you don’t have to settle for just one dose of Debbie — we’ll even be guests on the show in a few weeks!

Come hang out and learn more about us at thebabesment.com!

Committing to Authenticity - with Chelsea SkaggsCommitting to Authenticity - with Chelsea SkaggsChelsea Skaggs is a mother of two who — after going through two very different pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences — chose to work alongside new mothers as a postpartum coach. She aims “to bring a voice of normalcy and support in a culture that can feel isolating and judgmental,” and we think we all feel the need for more of that these days, even those of us without kids.

We have an amazing conversation covering everything from authenticity to body image to T-Swift, and if there’s anything you want to add, come @ us on Instagram. We’ve already felt so much love from this incredible community and we can’t wait to share a little bit of that love with Chelsea!

Meet Julie Ohlemacher: Intuitive Eater, Body Liberator, + Coach ExtraordinaireMeet Julie Ohlemacher: Intuitive Eater, Body Liberator, + Coach ExtraordinaireWelcome back to The Babesment! We’re doing a 180 after last week’s episode and, today, Stef is interviewing Jules! You’ll hear about forming a relationship with her body (first a good one, then a bad one, then a fantastic one), when she first realized that she wasn’t alone in the struggle, landing her “dream” internship that led to a major breakthrough, exercise as punishment vs. self-care, finally finding good role models, discovering intuitive eating, and a little crying.
