Can You Pursue Weight Loss Without Screwing Up Your Mental Health?

Who doesn’t want to lose weight in 2025? Go onto your local high street in the UK and ask the first twenty people meandering your way, this potent question and I can guarantee that 95% will say a resounding yes.

This will probably be true for people of all weights, shapes and body sizes.

Because losing weight and pursuing thinness hold incredible social value in society.

And there is a ton of stigma about being in a larger body.

But can you pursue weight loss without screwing up your mental health? I dive into some thoughts here.

But I Can’t Possibly Be Hungry, I’ve Just Eaten

‘I can’t possibly be hungry; I’ve only just eaten,’ is a phrase I have heard many a time in the therapy room.

When you’ve overridden your body’s signals unwittingly to well-meaning diet and wellness plans, it’s no surprise that trusting hunger can feel like a dubious phenomenon.

Feeling hungry may even feel downright wrong and shameful. You associate hunger with greediness and impulsiveness.

You forcefully push the feeling down again and again.

Unsurprisingly, you’re no longer attuned to your body’s signals.

It’s a jumbled knot. What is hunger? What is emotion? What is something else entirely? You don’t know.

This episode dives into hunger and helps you to reconnect with your body again. I hope that you find it helpful.

Eating Disorders in your 40's, 50's, 60's and Beyond

You might assume that eating disorders are mostly a young person’s predicament, tangled up with puberty, exams stressors and the turbulent transitions of entering adulthood.

And yes, young people are extremely vulnerable to struggling with food and body image concerns, but eating disorders impact people of all ages, and this shows up in the therapy room with clients from 16 to 70 years old (I work with adults mainly).

This podcast talks specifically about some of the triggers behind eating disorder development post 40 years and some of the unique challenges and perspectives seen by the more mature person. I hope that you find it helpful.
