What My 10-Day Detox Taught Me About Winning

I stopped dieting and calorie counting a few years ago. I realized that my attempts to slim down were rooted in self-loathing rather than self-love. I knew that the only way to combat that was to truly love myself — as soon as I did, I learned that my size was perfect for me.

I wanted to own and enjoy this transition.
