EPISODE 132: "I Lost 55 Pounds and Feel Fatter Than Ever."

You lost the weight. So why do you feel fatter than ever?

That's the real question behind a Reddit post Coach Steph and I dig into this week: a woman down 55 pounds who looks in the mirror and still sees the body she started with. If you've ever hit a goal weight and felt... nothing, or worse, this episode is for you.

We get into why your brain lags behind your body, why extreme diets set you up to feel out of control the second real food is back on the table, and why "just lose the weight" was never going to fix how you feel about yourself.

In it, you'll hear:

Why weight loss can make your body image worse, not better
The exact mental script Steph used to quiet a decade of "I hate my thighs"
How to tell if your current diet is setting you up to fail (hint: check the calorie count)
A simple neutrality practice you can try in front of your mirror today
Why the women who skip the body image work are the ones who end up back in our inbox a year later

You don't need another meal plan. You need a brain that finally allows you to feel comfortable in your own skin.

What would change if you believed your body wasn't a problem to solve?
