In this raw and deeply honest episode of Transform Your Life, Teresa and Tonya open up about something many in the weight loss community are afraid to talk about: what happens when the pain comes back—mentally, emotionally, and physically.They reflect on recent setbacks, chronic pain, shame around regain, and what it feels like to revisit old habits after surgery. Teresa shares her personal experience with inflammation, weight fluctuations, and physical pain that triggered emotional spirals. Tonya opens up about the guilt of not doing “enough” and why success isn't just a number on the scale.This episode goes beyond food and fitness—it's about self-forgiveness, finding your way back when you feel like you've “messed up,” and learning to love your body through the struggle, not just the glow-up.
