Speaker 1: Maybe that's Lisa, and we're just two girls that want
Speaker 1: to have a conversation with you. Dear sixteen year old Andrea,
Speaker 1: Hey gorgeous, Dear younger Lauren. Each episode is stories from people.
Speaker 1: I would deprive myself by myself obsessively because I was
Speaker 1: eating healthy. I couldn't understand that I had a problem
Speaker 1: with food. Losing my period scared me the most. My
Speaker 1: story starts when I was around seven. That's when I
Speaker 1: started to hate my body. Body image is like our
Speaker 1: inner picture of our outer self. Healthy behaviors play a
Speaker 1: much bigger role at all health than the actual number
Speaker 1: on the scales. Internal dialogue could be so powerful, and
Speaker 1: often it's super negative and critical in a way that
Speaker 1: we wouldn't talk to other people that we care about.
Speaker 1: When you start to share your story, that gives other
Speaker 1: people the courage to share theirs. I know you would
Speaker 1: be proud now of how far you have come in
Speaker 1: your relationship to food, exercise, and to yourself. I felt freedom,
Speaker 1: I've gained relationships. I've found my true sense of self worth.
Speaker 1: There's one thing I need you to take away if
Speaker 1: you're going to be okay. I'm Amy Brown, co host
Speaker 1: of the Bobby Bones Show and host of Four Things
Speaker 1: with Amy Brown podcast, and I'm Lisa Hym, registered dietitian,
Speaker 1: a wellness blogger and host of the Truthius Life podcast.
Speaker 1: In early we got together to break the stigma and
Speaker 1: expose the truth about disordered eating in a four part
Speaker 1: podcast series called Outweigh. We were shocked by the support
Speaker 1: and the love that this series got, and we realized
Speaker 1: this is really an ongoing conversation and it deserves to
Speaker 1: be its own weekly podcast. And in this new weekly
Speaker 1: Outweigh podcast, you'll hear from people just like you sharing
Speaker 1: their disordered eating stories. Plus we're going to bring on
Speaker 1: experts to help guide and navigate this territory, and of
Speaker 1: course you'll learn about our personal journeys along the way.
Speaker 1: Will continue to expose the gray area of eating disorders,
Speaker 1: the subclinical tendencies that many of us part taken but
Speaker 1: failed to get help for. We've both been there, and
Speaker 1: we want to make sure that no one feels alone
Speaker 1: in this journey and that freedom is in fact possible
Speaker 1: for each and every one of us. Our goal is
Speaker 1: to show you the way by opening the doors to
Speaker 1: conversation and provide a space for anyone who's going through it.
Speaker 1: Were two women who get it and have found power
Speaker 1: in voicing our experiences. You're not alone, and we want
Speaker 1: to make sure that you know that. We hope to
Speaker 1: be a small part of your healing journey, helping you
Speaker 1: live your most aligned life free of food and body
Speaker 1: image captivity, because you're here to do so much more
Speaker 1: with your life. We look forward to joining us each
Speaker 1: week so that you never lose sight that a life
Speaker 1: without disordered eating outweighs everything
