Dana Falsetti, a yoga teacher, didn't lose weight with yoga.
But she did stop binge eating and find pride and self-love: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/artic ... again.html

The pictures are hard to believe and beautiful.
A foretaste:
Dana said she has been an 'all or nothing person' her entire life. And while she believes it is a trait that may have contributed to her binge eating over the years, it is the same characteristic that taught her to turn to yoga instead of emotional eating.

thank you for this. She is my size and body type, AND I love yoga, but I seriously doubt myself, too. She is inspirational.
