My Mom fought food for 49 years. Now she keeps anything in the house, and forgets it's there!

My mom's first memory of being out of control with food was at 7 years old. She went on her first diet at age 14, and things became even more complicated in her 30's after giving birth to me, being diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and then having my sister.

Over the years, losing weight and controlling food became a major part of her life. And as her daughter, that was painful to witness too.

But today, she's 70, and for the past 7 years, hasn't worried about food or weight.

For the first time in her adult life, food is just ... food.

Sometimes when I visit my parents I'll open the fridge and notice some delicious-looking sweet treats that NEVER would have lasted more than a day when I was growing up. Now my mom forgets they're even there. I've found things literally expired because she genuinely forgot about them.

I'm so proud of my mom.

I'm also so grateful for her that she was willing to come on the podcast this week because she is not the kind of person who loves the attention. or putting herself out there publicly. it's really not her thing.

But she did it for us. Because she feels a lot of compassion for others who struggle with food, because that was her life for 49+ years.

And now since she's in a totally different place, she knows the value of sharing her story with you, to show what's possible.

So please ENJOY some time with me and my Mom! You'll appreciate her very much.
