After the Weight

Listen Later

You think you’ll feel nothing but joy when you lose weight and the jeans finally fit.

But what if you feel… terrified?

In this first episode, I talk about what really happens when you lose almost 200 pounds and your body changes faster than your brain can catch up.

Scared they wouldn’t fit. And scared they would.

If you’ve ever secretly hoped the new clothes wouldn’t fit—so you could stay safe—this episode is for you.
