Have you been prepared as to how to handle these things without turning to food or another unhealthy coping mechanism? Are you equipped with the tools and skills to do so? Those are some of the things we talk about in this week's episode.

My friend Bill Streetman, who I have known for many years, wrote a book about his bariatric journey. The book is called Simple, Not Easy: Escaping the Prison of Obesity. Bill has been super active in the bariatric community, inspiring hundreds of people who have also been dealing with obesity. During our conversation, Bill and I talk about how weight loss is about so much more than pounds lost, but is a path to living life fully!

***Bill is generously giving away 2 COPIES of his book to two of my listeners! To enter, like this post AND share it! We will randomly select two winners before next week's episode airs!
