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