Words hurt, but they also have the power to drive change. No one knows that better than 46-year-old Peggy Pullen. After all, a negative comment from a child at a pool on a warm summer day in 2014 is what sparked her desire to transform.
“He called me a hippopotamus!” she exclaims, recalling the incident that left the then-200-pound, 5-foot-3 mom embarrassed—mortified, in fact. “That really hurt,” she says. “Moms sacrifice our bodies, endure sleep deprivation, and have no time for ourselves. I’ve changed 10,000 diapers and nursed my children for 10 years straight—two kids at a time. I homeschooled my children for 14 years—by the time they were 18 months, they were fully potty trained, and at 4 years old, they were reading and writing. I had given so much.”
