Trigger warning; domestic violence

It’s so often the case that one trauma can result in an entirely different one down the track.

That is the case for Marleen Mour, a 38yr old single mum who ran away from Egypt and an unwanted engagement at age 19 to build her life in Australia.

She battled obesity, binge eating and self-loathing for decades before she finally discovered the power of self love for Permanent weight loss and lost 49kg/ 108lbs which she’s kept off for 13 years now, even after becoming a mum.

Today she’s helped over 1,000 women of all ages to Permanently lose weight by healing their relationship with food, their bodies and themselves.

In this episode she shares:

- Why her mum took her children and escaped to Australia for 4 years

- How her difficult home life created emotional eating for her

- The huge opportunity that helped her finance her escape

- How her family repeatedly attempted to prevent her escape

- How she managed to make it to Australia with $100 cash

- Why her eating problems continued and grew after she moved to Australia

- The climactic moment that she realised how badly she was treating herself

- The journey she went on to process her emotions rather than eat them,

- How her journey has evolved to a point where she helps others with their emotional eating

- The tools and strategies she point in place to manage her emotional eating
