“But I Have to Lose Weight for my Health”: Here’s Why This is Setting You Up For Failure

Is losing weight actually the key to your health… or is that belief sabotaging you?

This is one of the most common things I hear: “I get it, body acceptance is great… but I still need to lose weight for my health.” And honestly? It makes sense, because we’ve been taught our entire lives that smaller equals healthier.

But in this episode, I’m pulling that belief apart - not just to show you why it’s not as true as you think, but why holding onto it might actually be keeping you stuck.

In this episode, I’ll share:

• Why we automatically equate “healthy” with “skinny”
• The truth about weight vs. health (they’re not the same thing)
• How this belief sabotages your efforts when the scale doesn’t change
• The harm behind “just lose weight” advice
• Why you don’t need weight loss to improve your health
• What to focus on instead for real, sustainable change
