In this episode, Laura Harless shares her journey of transforming her relationship with food and body to achieve a whole-body transformation. She discusses the importance of self-awareness and internal stabilization to avoid extremes in diet culture. Laura also shares her successful weight loss journey without medication or surgery and the importance of changing one's relationship with food.
"I tried everything that I thought was healthy. I tried, you know, eating foods that were baked, not fried, and not snacking between meals. I tried exercising 30 minutes a day, and I would do that for months at a time. Like six months was my longest, and I lost maybe 10 pounds. And so it was frustrating. I get back into my old habits because it wasn't working and repeat later on because I let society tell me that it was my problem and I had to fix it, and I let that in." - Laura Harless
But Laura's story is not just about weight loss. It's about rediscovering oneself without the weight. She emphasizes that weight struggles do not define her, but they are a significant part of who she is now and how she got to be the way she is. Laura encourages listeners to enjoy their journeys, whatever they may be, and to embrace the positive changes that come with them.
As a psychology instructor, Laura loves helping others reach their potential. Her story has been featured in several magazines, including Fitness Magazine in 2011, and on news outlets such as Chanel 6 Orlando. Laura's Facebook page, LaurasFitLife, is dedicated to helping others achieve their fitness goals and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
