Late last year, I was interviewed by Heather Robertson for her Half Size Me podcast. The episode was released earlier this year. Because I have so much respect for Heather and her work with her Half Size Me community, I knew I had to bring her on to not only share her personal story of how she has successfully kept her weight off but has continued to inspire others. If you are on a weight loss journey yourself or know someone who is, I cannot encourage you to listen to this episode enough. In addition, her show is excellent and a highly recommended listen. You can learn more about Heather at www.halfsizeme.com To learn more about your host, check out www.jasonleenaarts.com and like our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/revolutionaryou Download, subscribe, share with your friends and please take a moment to leave us an iTunes review.
