    201 Why is clothes shopping so hard?

    Shopping for clothes sucks... is what we used to believe.  But not anymore. Have you ever stood in front of the mirror, feeling dissatisfied with what you see? It's a very common struggle, one that affects almost every woman. Dr Lucy and Dr Mary get raw and vulnerable sharing their body image struggles, and how they now embrace health and being a fabulous HOTI (healthy on the inside). While weight loss may be a goal for many on their path to better health, it's important to remember that you can still love and respect the body you are in.
