BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE PEOPLE AFTER MY WEIGHT GAIN - LIFE AFTER DIETS PODCAST EPISODE 26
At this time of year when all the talk is on new year diets and weight loss, we got you!
Weight gain can be a distressing experience because we tell ourselves stories about what this means, which are heavily influenced by what we think other people will think about our changing bodies.
As always, we are here to share our stories on the subject. In this episode we cover a lot from diet culture to projections to bumping into ex-partners.

Sarah - the P&P comment just broke my heart. I personally have found that people (especially coworkers) speak "down to me" and often brush me off. I am pretty sure their rudeness comes from their perception that they are better than me because I am overweight. But I don't think they know the struggle I am in daily. I ran into an ex once. I had lost a bunch of weight and was doing that "big mistake, you made a big mistake." His comment to me was - "did you get your sh__ together and resolved your issues?" He had seen me on both sides big and little - but he also knew the mental struggle I wrestled with every day. That made me realize he moved on because I wasn't in a mental place that could support anyone else.

This is so true. I have probably gained 30 pounds since working from home. I started IE in early 2021 and that is also a factor. I hardly leave the home due to not needing to. It is stressful.

The conversation regarding being around ppl that are thin and more than likely have to be due to their job, like a model. It brings back a hurtful memory of my nieces baby shower. There were pictures taken and no pictures of me were posted by her. She is thin because of my brother who happens to be very thin. I’m more like my dad=bigger. My brother is big on being thin and I have always felt shame due to my size. The experience at the baby shower was very hurtful. I feel like this is a hierarchy on that side of my family. I felt shame and as a result have no interest in spending time with them.

It's extremely difficult to navigate environments where appearance is a known hierarchy system. I think it's important to set your external and internal boundaries to protect your peace. Easier said than done, I know.

@@iamstefaniemichele thanks, she is getting married and I will not go because I don’t want to be judged. I know that this may sound like I am giving in but I’m just trying to keep my life positive and to stay away from negative family. Thanks for what you do!
