The Journey Back To You (an exploration of the drive behind our cultural obsession with weight loss) Being More
-
- Self-Improvement
In a past episode I spoke about the obsession our culture has with celebrating weight loss and in it, I posed the question, why does that validation matter so much?
In this episode, I'm diving into that more… the desperation with which we often chase weight loss - the desperation that’s more times than not fueled by the need for validation… as well, where does it come from, why is it so damaging, and what I’ve been trying to do instead, as a recovering validation chaser myself.
Are you obsessed with the number on your scale? This episode is for you.
