The Impact of Food Guilt After WLS Episode 205

Kellie and Mel sit down on their own in this episode and chat about all things “food guilt.”  Mel begins the episode with a recent encounter with food and the spiral of guilt, justification, self-sabotage, and punishment she experienced after the event.  They unpack several challenges related to eating “off plan” or consuming non-nutrient dense foods after weight loss surgery and what comes up for them as influencers in the community. They discuss their history of food restriction, comfort eating in times of stress and dysregulation, and the various levels of guilt they feel after eating certain foods. Kellie and Mel encourage you to seek peer support and therapy if you feel guilty for eating “off plan” and need help finding a way out of the cycle of self-belittling thoughts. Discussing your feelings with others and getting them out of your head allows you to understand WHY you are in this cycle and HOW to recognize and work through it.
