Weight loss is one of the most sensitive and misunderstood topics in food addiction recovery. In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Coach Mary breaks down the real difference between structure vs. restriction, how to tell whether your desire to lose weight is coming from true recovery or from disordered thinking, and why urgency, perfectionism, and diet culture messaging can quietly sabotage healing.

Mary also explores the role of spiritual alignment, shadow work, and trusted counsel when navigating body changes in recovery. You’ll learn how diet culture keeps you stuck in a cycle of “not enoughness,” what red flags to look for, and how to pursue health without slipping back into old patterns.

This episode closes with powerful journaling questions to help you reflect on your motives, challenge perfectionism, and reconnect with what actually matters on your recovery path:

• Why is who I am right now not enough?

• What am I hoping weight loss will fix?

• Would I recommend this method to someone I love?

If you’re in food addiction recovery and finding yourself wrestling with weight loss thoughts, body image, or pressure to “fix” yourself, this conversation will bring clarity, honesty, and peace.
