After spending years battling a severe eating disorder and low self-worth, Marci Warhaft found the motivation to regain her health and reclaim her life. Before her recovery, Marci allowed shame from a challenging past to keep her from living life freely. Living in fear of being judged, she never felt she could ever be enough. She was wrong. After years of advocation for kids and parents, in 2007, Marci founded the Fit vs. Fiction Body Image. This interactive workshop empowers kids in an image-obsessed society to live with healthy self-esteem. From 2018 through 2021, Marci was named one of Canada's Top 100 Health Leaders by Optimyz Fitness and Wellness Magazine. In addition, Marci has two published books, the latest titled The Body Image Survival Guide for Parents: Helping Toddlers, Tweens, and Teens Thrive.
