episode 155: fat loss, better body image and self trust: how to have it all with carissa ambis
In today’s episode I have an extremely powerful and moving conversation with a former client (and now friend) Carissa Ambis.
Carissa shares her entire journey from being made fun of for being a “chubby” kid to gaining and losing 50-60 pounds multiple times through extreme dieting and exercise to investing the time and energy on herself to finally find a sustainable relationship with food and her body which has resulted in a body weight she feels healthy and fantastic at.
It is an incredible honor to have former clients come on to the podcast because there is nothing more powerful than hearing the story of someone else who has gone through what you’ve gone through.
Here is what we cover in today’s episode around fat loss, negative body image and disordered eating:
How recognize your own disordered eating and/or exercise
What you learn in coaching and how it actually creates the change you’ve been looking for
What self trust is and what it looks like in action
Carissa’s examples of exactly why we keep doing diets even when we hate them
How you can work on fat loss and improving negative body image at the same time
I truly hope that hearing Carissa’s story makes you feel less alone and hopeful that change is possible for you too.
Episode 149 with Alyssa Hoat is another amazing story of a former client who overcame severe disordered eating and yo yo dieting to finally find ease around food and peace in her body. And this blog post covers my top 3 tips for improving body confidence.
