Welcome to Change Your Relationship with Food, the podcast hosted by Kyla Holley, who guides you in breaking free from diet culture and fostering a healthy relationship with food. Don't forget to follow this podcast to stay updated.
In this thought-provoking episode, Kyla dives into the societal perceptions of weight loss and gain, sparked by a weight-centric Facebook post she encountered. She questions why weight loss is celebrated as an achievement while weight gain is often viewed as a failure. Through reflective musings, Kyla explores the pressures and judgments faced by individuals based on their body size.
Using examples such as Oprah Winfrey's public weight loss journey, Kyla highlights the shame and guilt associated with fluctuating weight. She also discusses the unrealistic expectations placed on people to maintain a lower body weight and the unfair societal standards that dictate who deserves to consume a certain number of calories.
Kyla challenges the notion that health can be determined solely by weight and advocates for a more compassionate approach towards individuals of all body sizes. She emphasizes the importance of separating health from weight and urges listeners to be kinder and more understanding.
