How I Finally Lost 99 Pounds After Years of Binge Eating
There’s a moment in every woman’s journey where the old way stops making sense.
For Jamille, that moment didn’t look dramatic. It was quiet — a piece of cake she couldn’t bring herself to eat halfway, the panic of a closed restaurant, the feeling that food had more authority over her life than she did.
In today’s episode, she shares how she went from a childhood shaped by shaming comments — “suck in your belly… no man will want you” — to decades of bingeing, punishing diets, secret spirals, and a belief that she would always live this way.
Her story is not just about the 99 pounds she lost — it’s about the woman she became in the process. A woman who no longer fears buffets, who can leave candy in the house without losing herself to it , who wakes up before dawn to meet her own life on purpose rather than in reaction
We talk about the slow, steady rewiring that happens when you stop performing control and start practicing presence — the tiny shifts that build into a kind of inner maturity you can feel in your posture, your choices, your quiet moments.
If you’ve ever wondered whether long-term patterns can truly change, this conversation is proof that they can — and that the change begins long before the weight comes off.

Takeaways
Food can feel like a companion when life gets loud — until it starts calling the shots.
Consistency isn’t a performance; it’s the way you show up for yourself when no one’s watching.
Overeating has less to do with hunger and more to do with the parts of you that were never taught another way.
There’s a version of you who knows how to pause — even when the urge is strong.
Maturity around food isn’t perfection; it’s steadiness, curiosity, and a quieter inner world.
When you choose with awareness, something inside you relaxes. That shift — that agency — is what builds real self-respect.
