Summary: “Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.” ― Rumi<br> Today’s guest is Heather Robertson, creator of the Half Size Me blog, podcast, and community.<br> In this episode we discuss:<br> <br> * How to do weight loss the wrong way (and how to do it the right way)<br> * Why we feel compelled to follow diets<br> * How to build healthy habits (for real)<br> * Why you’ll be able to buy your favorite diet books for $1 at Goodwill in a few years<br> <br> And more!<br> CONNECT WITH HEATHER:<br> WEBSITE: <a href="http://www.halfsizeme.com">www.halfsizeme.com</a><br> PODCAST: <a href="http://www.halfsizeme.com/category/podcast/">Half Size Me</a><br> TWITTER: @<a href="http://twitter.com/halfsizeme">halfsizeme</a><br> Read more about Heather and today’s conversation at <a href="http://inmyskinnygenes.com/unmaintainable" target="_blank">In My Skinny Genes</a>.<br> <a href="http://findingourhunger.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/110.Quote_.KT_.png"></a><br> BY THE WAY: If you love the Finding Our Hunger podcast, you have FOUR great ways to support us:<br> • Become a <a href="http://patreon.com/findingourhunger">Patreon</a> <br> Give a <a href="http://inmyskinnygenes.com/donate" target="_blank">donation</a>!<br> • Leave an <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/finding-our-hunger/id623698385?mt=2">iTunes review</a><br> • Listen to the 1st 100 episodes by getting a <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/kaila-prins/id997503918">Finding Our Hunger Podcast Album</a><br> Thank you for listening—we appreciate you SO much <3.<br> MENTIONED IN THE PODCAST:<br> LISTEN: <a href="http://findingourhunger.com/103">UNpodcast 103: Alan Levinovitz</a><br> GET TIX! <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/curvy-girl-lingerie-fashion-show-we-got-curve-appeal-august-9th-villa-ragusa-tickets-17463275126" target="_blank">Curvy Girl Fashion Show</a> (use code fierce for $10 off!)<br> Join the conversation at <a href="http://facebook.com/findingourhunger">facebook.com/findingourhunger</a>.<br> Subscribe to the podcast on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/finding-our-hunger/id623698385?mt=2">iTunes</a> or <a href="http://stitcher.com/s?fid=33197&refid=stpr">Stitcher Radio</a>, and make sure to leave a review.<br> Stay hungry,<br> @<a href="http://twitter.com/missskinnygenes">MissSkinnyGenes</a><br>
