In Season 1, Episode 15 of The Start Anywhere Podcast, I chat with Robert Stewart, who bravely shares his story of how he lost more than 140 pounds by coming to terms with his addiction to food.  Robert tells us how he faced his greatest fears and started to move his body after his bathroom scale could no longer register his weight.  He was nearly 400 pounds at his heaviest point, before he started walking…then running.  Soon, he was losing weight and gaining confidence.  Robert shares his experiences with humour and honesty.

- Covering up feelings of insecurity with food and alcohol
