Back to EpisodesEp. 206: When the Weight Comes On and Stays: The Conversation No One's Having
Description
Can we just be honest for a second?
I'm tired. I'm tired of the noise around weight loss right now. The before-and-afters flooding your feed. The "I lost 30 pounds and I've never felt better!" posts. The transformation photos with the glowing captions about finally finding what works.
Because here's what they're not telling you: half of them got a shot. Or a prescription. Or some medical intervention they're conveniently leaving out of the story.
And before you think I'm about to go on some anti-medication rant—I'm not. I'm not here to shame anyone's choices. If you decided that GLP-1s or weight loss medication is right for your body, your health, your life? That's your business. You do what works for you. You should be allowed to do so without anyone judging you.
But here's what I want to talk about: what about the rest of us? What if that’s not your thing for whatever reason?
What about the women who don't want to go that route? Who aren't comfortable with the side effects, the cost, the long-term unknowns. The women who actually want to do the work—who aren't afraid of discipline, commitment, or showing up day after day—but who are hitting a wall that no amount of effort seems to break through.
Where's the conversation for us?
Because right now, it feels like the only two options on the table are:
- Get the shot.
- Accept this is just how it is now.
And neither of those are options you like.
And so this is the conversation we’re having here. We’re talking about it. So if this is you, this one’s for you.
