The Body Trust® Podcast

34. A New Year without Weight Loss Resolutions


Listen Later

In this episode of the Body Trust Podcast, hosts Dana, Sirius, and Hilary discuss the pitfalls of focusing on weight loss as a New Year's resolution. They emphasize that the pressures from the diet, fitness, and wellness industries are particularly strong during this season. They explore multiple reasons not to pursue weight loss, including the physical and emotional toll, the perpetuation of harmful societal norms, and the unsustainable nature of dieting. They stress the importance of body trust and radical self-acceptance, advocating for more fulfilling ways to engage with one's body and health. Episode highlights include a discussion on the misleading promises of quick-fix solutions like GLP-1 medications, the broader socio-political implications of dieting, and the vital need for systemic changes over individual weight loss efforts.
