EPISODE 49: When Losing Weight Doesn't Fix Your Mental Health Challenges


Listen Later

In today's episode, we dive into a thought-provoking Reddit post from a woman who has recently realized that despite losing 100 pounds, she's still struggling with mental health challenges she had BEFORE she lost the weight.

As many people do, she was absolutely certain that if she got to a comfortable weight, that her problems would simply melt away with the fat that she was losing.

She discusses how after being overweight and unhappy her whole life, she mistakenly believed that the reason she was unhappy must have been because of her size.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen for her.

Join me in this week's episode of the Outsmart Overeating podcast as I discuss how changing your weight won't guarantee happiness, because unhappiness happens in your mind.
