299. How to Hold Your Weight Loss Goals Loosely (for better results) with Sas Petherick [Body Stories #4]
Body Stories is back — and we’re halfway through the journey.
Sas Petherick returns to share what she’s learning six months into her year-long holistic weight loss experiment. She opens up about how her relationship with food is evolving, what strength feels like in her body now, and how all of it is reshaping her work as a coach.
Together, we explore what it means to approach weight loss as an act of care — not punishment — especially in midlife, when everything from metabolism to motivation starts to shift.
If you’re tired of all-or-nothing thinking about your health, this one’s for you. And if you're ready to untangle your own food triggers, RSVP for my free workshop on September 3rd.
We discuss:
- The power of loving limits and keeping promises to yourself
- How diet culture, wellness influencers, and capitalism shape your body story
- What “complexity fitness” means — and why it matters for you to hold the nuance
- Why taking a break from Instagram can change how you see yourself
- Why a glucose monitor won’t give you all the answers
- Letting yourself be more high-maintenance
