In this episode, Dr. Emily unravels why comments about your weight feel so personal—and how to handle them without slipping into shame, people-pleasing, or emotional eating.
You'll learn why these comments trigger strong emotions and how to protect your peace with healthy boundaries.
What You'll Learn:
Why do weight comments hit so deeply
How to respond without defensiveness or overeating
How to separate your worth from people's opinions
A simple spiritual reset to calm your mind
Scripture: Psalm 139:14 — "I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Key Takeaways:
A comment about your weight is not a verdict on your value.
You get to define what is healthy, meaningful, and aligned in your body—not anyone else.
Emotional eating triggered by embarrassment or pressure is a learned response you can unlearn.
Boundaries are not unkind—they're protective and necessary.
Your identity in Christ keeps you grounded when people's opinions shake you.
If weight comments shake your confidence or trigger old habits, this episode will help you overcome those old patterns.
