Q&A: How do you not feel like a failure when you lose weight then gain it back?

This week’s Bawdy Love Q&A: How do you not feel like a failure when you lose weight then gain it back?

Society puts a high value on the “success story” of losing weight. When we lose weight, then regain it (and then some), it’s easy to feel like we’ve failed in some way.

The short answer? Examine what your goals really are. A lot of the time, the goal isn’t weight loss; it’s the thriving life we imagine we’ll have when the weight is gone. Think about how invest in your own thriving rather than in weight loss specifically.

The long answer? Take a listen to find out.
