If you could just lose enough weight to wear that trendy outfit, get a cute guy to notice you, or look like you “belong” in the gym, your life would be so much easier, right? Not necessarily, but it’s easy to think so when we’ve been told over and over that thinness is the ultimate goal. In this episode, I’m sharing the true behind-the-scenes both mentally and physically in the typical shiny “after” photos you see on social media, and how you can feel better about your own body today.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
- When you think about the lengths people typically go to to lose weight, the “after” isn’t as happy and glamorous as it looks online. There is often so much restriction or over exercising happening that the person has a lot of weight-related thoughts taking up a lot of mental real estate.
- There is definitely a high that comes from losing weight, especially when we get positive reinforcement from people around us. If the weight comes back, it can often make people feel worse than they felt before they lost the weight.
- If you feel like losing weight will solve your problems, identify why you want to lose weight. If you want to improve mobility, work with a physical therapist to learn specific exercises. If you want to wear cute clothes, buy yourself some cute clothes in your current size.
