Ep6 Gina Guarino @fat2fit_rny

Welcome Home to BariDiaries, Gina Guarino joins Cece to share a bariatric journey that became about far more than losing weight. Gina opens up about her decision to choose RNY, her experience with body dysmorphia, and the struggle of allowing the number on the scale to hold too much power over how she saw herself. Over time, something began to shift. Gina discovered bodybuilding and started setting goals around her health, strength, and mental well-being. The gym became a place where she could focus less on what her body weighed and more on what it was capable of becoming. Her story is a powerful reminder that transformation isn't only about becoming smaller. Sometimes it's about becoming stronger, changing the way we measure progress, and discovering a version of ourselves we couldn't see when the scale was doing all the talking.
