Talking with Emma: Stop fighting food & weight

37: Coping With Weight Gain


Listen Later

In this episode we talk about weight gain in a way you've probably never heard it discussed, especially if you're a midlife woman. 


This episode is for you:

  • You dislike diet culture but still fear weight gain
  • You feel uncomfortable in a changing body
  • You want relief from body-related fear, not another plan


In this episode, you’ll explore:

  • The cultural beliefs that teach women to feel like weight gain is a moral failure
  • Why dieting is an amazing emotional coping strategy if you don't have another way to feel hard feelings
  • How control what we eat can feel safer than uncertainty, even when it costs you
  • How to get what you want - confidence, self-respect, feeling good enough - without 'having' to lose weight


You’ll also hear why wanting weight loss does not make you shallow or wrong.
