S2 Episode 15 Still Not Enough: Body Dysmorphia After Weight Loss


Listen Later

On today’s episode of The Heavy Truth, Ben and Amy open up about the often-overlooked emotional aftermath of weight loss—body dysmorphia.

You'd think the number on the scale dropping would bring nothing but celebration—but for many, especially those who’ve carried extra weight for years, the mental baggage sticks around long after the pounds are gone. Ben and Amy share raw personal stories and tough truths about what it feels like to look in the mirror and still see your “before” self, to hear compliments that don’t feel true, and to wrestle with an identity that’s shifting faster than your body can keep up.

They’ll also explore the silent grief, unexpected shame, and the strange guilt that can follow weight loss, as well as how to begin healing and learning to trust your reflection again.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like their outsides changed, but their insides didn’t get the memo. Tender, honest, and deeply relatable—this is The Heavy Truth.
