Bleep Bulimia Episode #140 with Fitz Koehler, Fitness Pro, 5 x Author, Speaker and Cancer Crusher
Fitz is a Floridian. She has been teaching fitness since she was fourteen, which is a bit of a twist. A twist, because when you listen to her story, you will understand.
She said her major missteps when she was younger, and she is six years cancer-free!
Being a Floridian, she was in good shape yet small and scrawny. Yet she was bullied by her older sister. (Who does that to their siblings?... wait... I do understand!!) Being tormented by an elder sibling and being body shamed is something that is very hard to overcome.
Her mother did the best that she could, provided red meats, potatoes, and butter.
Although she moved on to fitness after an injury, she still struggled with her food consumption. She wanted to be thinner. So she learned how to be bulimic. She said that it was just self-punishment.
Fitz joined an organization that was to prevent eating disorders, and as a closet bulimic, lectured others on the harm of eating disorders.
Turn around was the time when her communal bathroom was full, so she threw up in her dorm in her garbage can. The epiphany was Missy. Missy was overweight, and she thought, "Would I like Missy less if she were bigger? Would I like Missy less if she were thinner?"
She admits there is still body dysmorphia, but she doesn't self-harm anymore. She is also aware that her appearance to others will not impact them in her coaching of them.
An incredibly eye-opening conversation.
Fitz is now a five-time author, Fitness Pro, Speaker, and, amazingly, a cancer survivor.
Her new book is:
You. Supercharged! :
The Exact Formula for Fitness, Weight Loss, and Longevity
And you can find it on Amazon, or you can reach out to her directly for a signed copy as well at https://fitzness-store.myshopify.com/
For my listeners, also know that Fitz does, in her book, write about eating disorders.
I appreciate the honesty and openness, and most of all the passion Fitz has.
