#156: "Is Everyone on a GLP-1?!" How to Handle Feeling Triggered By Seeing People Who Have Lost Weight

It’s that time of year where you’re going to be seeing people you haven’t seen in a while, and if some of those people have lost a bunch of weight, it can feel really triggering. With GLP-1 medications being all the rage, it’s easy to assume that “everyone” is taking it. 

This episode is about understanding and managing your own personal feelings about when other people lose weight. It can stir up feelings of jealousy, envy, anger, second-guessing yourself, insecurity, comparison, inadequacy, concern, annoyance, and so much more. 

In this conversation, we’re going to work on preparing you for the next time this happens, and what you can do in those moments when those emotions have been stirred up. 

Episode Highlights

-Noticing and naming the emotions that you’re feeling when you see someone who has lost weight

-Shifting from judgment and comparison, to compassion and connection

-Remembering your WHY and your values on your own journey

-Tips for navigating diet talk and weight loss conversations at holiday gatherings
