Episode 37: Why Your Fear of Weight Gain is Holding You Back
This is the number one thing on everyone’s mind: what will happen to my body when I give myself full permission to eat?
Will I gain or lose weight when I start to nourish myself and trust my hunger and fullness?
What will others think of me?
The number one reason people stay stuck in unhealthy relationships with food and exercise is the fear of weight gain.

Today I discuss why the fear of weight gain is such an unhelpful mindset, where fatphobia comes from, and how to step into your power and let go of your body hang-ups for life.
