'Food does not have moral character. Food is not good or bad nor are you intrinsically good or bad based on the foods you eat or don’t eat. Jill Davis spent the majority of her adult life morbidly obese. She lost 135 pounds and along the way regained her identity. Through her own journey, research, and working with thousands of women in transition, Jill discovered that the move from body shaming to body acceptance is only possible when we shed the belief that we are intrinsically good or bad based on the foods we eat and instead trust our bodies to tell us what they need. When we embrace ourselves, we can explore the possibilities of who we can become and discover the best in ourselves. Through workshops, keynote speaking, and one-on-one coaching, Jill helps women to quit fighting their weight and start finding their way. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx'
