For years, my weight—and how I thought I looked—wasn’t just a number. It was the headline of my life.
It influenced my mood, my confidence, my decisions, and even my sense of worth. I know what it’s like to live with food noise. For me, it wasn’t overeating—it was starving myself. I know body dysmorphia, the need for control, and the constant mental negotiation around food. It’s exhausting.
In this episode, I’m sharing my journey through disordered eating, the need for control, and how my relationship with food, my body, and the scale has evolved over the years.
We’ll also talk about something I never expected: how starting a GLP-1 medication changed the constant mental chatter. The number on the scale didn’t disappear, but it stopped being the centre of every conversation I had with myself.
This isn’t an episode about chasing a certain weight. It’s about making space for a fuller life.
Because somewhere along the way, something shifted.
My weight is still part of my story.
It’s just no longer the headline.
