S10 EP6: We Said F*ck the Scale and Eileen Hittle Listened. Hear Her Story.

Our special guest, Eileen Hittle joined our Fitness Programming
by CVG Facebook group in 2018. She thinks she found CVG by chance
but Kelsea calls it fate. At the time, Eileen had a two month old
baby and she was struggling with the changes in her body and her
self-esteem was low. Six years later she is in a very different
place, thanks to her resolve but also to the many other women in
the group who lifted her up and gave her the support she needed.
It’s been quite an incredible journey! Eileen talks candidly on
harmful messaging in her teens and the relationship between
eating and control. CVG’s performance based goals and non-scale
victories also play a big part in this story.  


Want to hear how she went from focusing on being skinny to
throwing away her scale and back squatting 190? She’s a
night-shift labor and delivery nurse, a  mom, a strong woman
and an inspiration to us all. Rachael calls her "an embodiment of
why we started." How did she do it? Listen to her story. You may
hear your own story in hers.
