"I had so much body grief and body resentment at this time that I completely lost my way. My body image took a huge hit. And a huge hit in terms of my eating disorder. I had so much grief that I was out of control. My body was out of control. I just needed to get to a place where I accepted that I needed help."In today's episode, we're spotlighting the courageous and inspiring Nikki, a long-time member of the
