See, this is the kind of "New Year, New Body" content we need to be reading amid a hurricane of diet and exercise trend pieces. Part of the reason I've hesitated to use personal trainers (although, let's be real - the biggest barrier for me is and has usually been a lack of money to hire one) is I fear the kind of prejudice and judgment displayed by the trainers on this show.

I spent most of my life feeling tremendously anxious or ashamed of my body, or trying to ignore the fact that I had one. To be judged and shamed when I'm just trying to get healthier (not necessarily thinner, but healthier) makes me feel like I'm risking the peace and progress I have worked extremely hard for in the last few years.
