Nourished & Free: The Podcast
15 Years of WW® (Client Confessional with Alyson)
"WW had convinced me that I was uncontrollable with food, i.e. I could not be left alone with any food. They had scared me to the point where I thought 'only if you follow this will you ever have a normal life again.
If at any point (in the 15 years of doing WW) I had convinced myself that my body was beautiful, they would have lost a customer.
In the end, they financially benefited from the fact that I stayed heavier in my weight and the fact that I could not be convinced to appreciate my size."
Nourished & Free alum, Alyson , joins me as we walk down her disordered eating journey with WW that was 15 years long.
