OUTWEIGH: Deedee has spent decades as a leader and source of strength in her community, supporting and guiding others while struggling silently behind closed doors. Her battle wasn’t with her role or her responsibilities—it was with food.

For years, food felt like her secret demon—something she couldn’t seem to conquer, no matter how much discipline she tried to muster. Despite her outward success and commitment to helping others, food had a grip on her life that left her feeling ashamed, defeated, and isolated.

Even though she was always giving so much of herself to others, she felt empty and disconnected when it came to her own health and relationship with food. It was a struggle she felt she had to face alone, with no one to confide in. But everything changed when Deedee finally made the choice to confront her relationship with food at its root. She realized that it wasn’t just about dieting or controlling her willpower—it was about healing the emotional wounds and unraveling the stories that were keeping her stuck.

In this episode, Deedee shares her powerful transformation journey of breaking free from the grip of food and reclaiming control of her life. If you’ve ever felt like no one would understand your struggles, or like food has a power over you that you can’t break free from, Deedee’s story is a reminder that true freedom is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.

How This Female Pastor Ditched The Shame & Finally Addressed Her Biggest "Demons" (Outweigh)

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever stood in front of the mirror, repeating mantras like “I love my body” or “I’m enough,” only to feel that little voice in your head whispering, “Who are you kidding?” In this episode of Outweigh, Leanne Ellington breaks down why the “just think positive” approach doesn’t work—and what’s really keeping you from truly loving yourself.

Leanne gets real about her own struggles—how she grew up battling food and body shame, even after losing nearly 100 pounds, and why it took more than weight loss to break free. She explains why so many women get stuck feeling like self-love and positivity are unattainable, and how those feel-good mantras can actually make you feel worse when your brain doesn’t buy into them.

So what’s missing? It’s the brain wiring beneath the surface that no amount of mantras or affirmations can fix. Leanne shares how negative beliefs and self-criticism get hardwired into your brain and create resistance—leading you to feel like a fraud. And why jumping straight to self-love can backfire if you haven’t addressed those deeper stories and beliefs that are running the show.

If Positive Mantras Feel Like a Lie,  Here’s What You’re Missing (Outweigh)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/7c76488f-5d90-4aac-b546-b21c01114763/transcript

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever felt like you’re carrying a heavy secret—one that no one knows about? In this episode of Outweigh, Leanne Ellington dives deep into the struggle that so many women face but rarely talk about: feeling trapped in a hidden battle with food, body shame, and self-judgment.

Leanne opens up about her own experience of being stuck in a “food and body prison” while presenting a happy face to the world. She breaks down how shame isolates us, making us feel broken, and why this isn’t just about food or weight—it’s about the stories we tell ourselves and the shame we carry silently.

Through real-life examples of her clients’ struggles—like the superwoman hiding her midnight binges or the woman avoiding social events out of fear of being judged—Leanne explains why no diet, workout plan, or mantra will break this cycle. The solution isn’t another diet or exercise routine. It’s healing your self-image and rewiring the relationship you have with yourself.

If you’ve ever felt like food struggles were your “dirty little secret” and wondered why you can’t just “get it together,” this episode is for you. Leanne shows how breaking free isn’t about more willpower—it’s about breaking out of the shame prison and reclaiming your sense of self-worth.
