BUT WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE IN VERY LARGE BODIES?
I had so many different title ideas for this article, but I ended up with, as you know, but what about people in very large bodies? I've had this question asked to me in different ways throughout the years, and I planned on adding like a whole section in the modules within my group coaching program to share what my take is on this and when I say but what about people in very large bodies of course people are asking what about people who are morbidly obese like can they really just eat with freedom like isn’t that irresponsible or unhealthy and all the things and won't I end up like that if I just keep eating if it's what I want to keep doing I'm going to do my best to address all of that in this article.
