When Weight Loss Isn't a Win: Eating Disorders, Stress, & Body Image Confusion (Content Warning) With Debbie Saroufim @bodyacceptance_coach
In this powerful conversation, Dr. Marianne welcomes back body image coach and anti-diet educator Debbie Saroufim for a candid discussion about what happens when weight loss triggers eating disorder thoughts—even in solid recovery.
Debbie opens up about how recent stress and anxiety have impacted her appetite and body, and how unsolicited weight-related comments from others can be both activating and isolating. Together, we unpack why even “positive” feedback about weight loss can be harmful, how body changes can feel destabilizing, and what it means to hold complex emotions without slipping back into disordered behaviors.
We also talk about:
The problem with equating weight loss with wellness
How eating disorder thoughts can show up years into recovery
The myth of a “correct” body image or recovery experience
Perimenopause, changing bodies, and the grief that can follow
Why body neutrality may offer more freedom than forced body positivity
Mindfulness, fart metaphors (yay!), and how to let thoughts pass without bottling them up
Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or navigating your own relationship with body changes, this episode offers honesty, compassion, and tools to help you stay grounded.
