Paddy and Belinda welcome Mark Fearon, former Leinster rugby player and Operation Transformation participant, for a funny, frank and deeply personal conversation.

Mark shares how a rugby injury changed his life, his experience of weighing over 27 stone, and the years of restrictive diets, binge eating and weight regain that followed. He also opens up about codeine addiction, recovery and the importance of psychological support.

Then we get into the question so many listeners are asking: what happens when you stop weight loss medication?

Mark describes the return of hunger and food noise, despite significant changes to his lifeirestyle, and shares his decision about what comes next.

We talk about:
• Emotional eating, food shame and the “I’ll be good tomorrow” cycle.
• Strength training and finding joy in exercise.
• Weight maintenance and life after reaching your goal.
• Online judgement and unsolicited advice.
• Why Mark is done with extreme diets.

There’s plenty of laughter, a confession about “car chips”, and some appreciation for Mark’s biceps. But at its heart, this is a conversation about rebuilding your relationship with food, your body and yourself.
