The Thick Thighs Save Lives Podcast
Health & Fitness
Our special guest, Eileen Hittle joined our Fitness Programming by CVG Facebook group in 2018. She thinks she found CVG by chance but Kelsea calls it fate. At the time, Eileen had a two month old baby and she was struggling with the changes in her body and her self-esteem was low. Six years later she is in a very different place, thanks to her resolve but also to the many other women in the group who lifted her up and gave her the support she needed. It’s been quite an incredible journey! Eileen talks candidly on harmful messaging in her teens and the relationship between eating and control. CVG’s performance based goals and non-scale victories also play a big part in this story.
Want to hear how she went from focusing on being skinny to throwing away her scale and back squatting 190? She’s a night-shift labor and delivery nurse, a mom, a strong woman and an inspiration to us all. Rachael calls her "an embodiment of why we started." How did she do it? Listen to her story. You may hear your own story in hers.
