We Are Losing It

Episode 57: Sex & Intimicy After Weightloss


Listen Later

After losing a lot of weight, you go through a lot of changes. Everything from your body, the excess skin, your mind and how you view your body. 

The way you think someone else may view your new body. While you were losing weight you were thinking of how great it will be once the weight is off. Except it doesn't always work that way. Whether you're single, married, or with a long-time partner... insecurities will likely pop up. You may even regret losing the weight because you feel less sexy or desirable. 

We've both been there! It's not fun! And there is a whole new round of head work that you have to do so you don't go down a rabbit hole of self-doubt. But remember, you are healthier now than you were with the excess weight. It's all just mind over matter! Maybe skin removal surgery is in your future? But maybe not? 

Listen in as we talk through ALL of this, and then some with the wonderful Dr. Victoria Panna (aka Dr. V). She is a PhD level clinical sexologist and licensed professional counselor who supports people losing weight to address emotional and sexual needs. She is also the clinical coordinator and Faculty member at a master’s level counseling program and owner of Sex and Intimacy After Weight Loss Surgery, where she works as a personal development coach for pre- and post-bariatric and GLP-1 clients. In her spare time, she enjoys going to sporting events, spending time exploring new places with her friends, and going on jeep excursions with her 4-legged co-therapist/co-teacher, Parker. You can find Dr. V in her Facebook group "Sex and Intimacy After WLS".
