Chiquis and Cole share their past struggles with body image and losing weight, how they’ve handled those difficult situations and the different ways others can do it, too. Cole also talks about why it’s so hard to treat eating disorders, the dark side of the weight-loss industry and tells us what inspired her new book “What’s Eating Us: Women, Food, and The Epidemic of Body Anxiety.”
