The Battle of the Mind
S2016g's weight loss journey has not only been a physical one, but also a mental one.

However, as she's lost weight, she has been reminded of those moments of insecurity. She believes that just like weight loss, gaining body positivity is a battle of the mind.
The Importance of Going Slow and Steady
