Listen Later

No one makes it through without support- and we just so happen to have the "Rocky" of bariatric support, Wendy Rawlings! Wendy is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State who specializes in bariatric recovery. She helps us dig into the big questions and helps us find solutions that allow us to live our lives at a healthy weight after weight loss surgery. 

We recently asked the community what questions they would ask Wendy if they could sit down with her and the community answered with some power-house questions. In this episode, we will toe-dip into the answers and give us all a starting point to begin a deeper understanding of these issues and topics. Buckle up...and grab a notebook and pen...you are going to need it!

Episode Topics:

  • Is food addiction real?
  • Food addiction: Is abstinence the only solution?
  • How do we battle to regain and depression caused by the regaining?
  • How do we overcome body dysmorphia?
