Why is it so easy to regain weight after losing it? You follow the plan, you see the scale go down, your clothes fit better, and then somehow the weight comes back. The worst part about weight regain for some people is that it feels like a personal failure. But in today's episode, we are here to tell you the truth: weight regain is a biologically and psychologically driven response. Not a sign of a person being weak, lazy, or lacking willpower.Join us as we break down a recent research review published in the Journal Nutrients (see The Interplay Between Psychological and Neurobiological Predictors of Weight Regain: A Narrative Review). You will learn how self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and traits like impulsivity, perfectionism, and dichotomous thinking play significant roles in weight maintenance. Discover practical strategies for boosting self-control, managing stress, and employing flexibility to achieve lasting success. We also explore how brain activity and hormonal changes impact weight and discuss the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy and medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists. Whether you're beginning your weight loss journey or focusing on maintenance, this episode offers insights to help you succeed in the real world.00:25 The Struggle of Weight Regain01:36 Psychological Factors in Weight Maintenance05:31 Emotional Regulation and Weight09:24 Biological Factors in Weight Regain16:24 Strategies for Long-Term Weight Maintenance22:01 Conclusion and SupportConnect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookGeorgie's Instagram Christina's Instagram Have you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

And how they help clients feel more empowered and informed so they can have the birth and postpartum experience that leaves them feeling capable and proud.

TRIGGER WARNING: Whitney does share thoughts about suicide in today's episode. She shares this from her private journal to be transparent in speaking to other grievers about where she has been on her journey and what she's done to get through those hard days. Why is Whitney proud to be a selfish griever? Because putting her needs first on her grief journey is what supported her, and she believes all grievers should be doing the same. Because what helped her may not help you, but that doesn't mean you can't find what does help you. Soliciting advice from others, learning tools to help you and trying different things are all healthy ways to make progress on your grief journey. Trusting your intuition, gut, or heart to tell you what feels right for you is what will serve you best in finding a way to move forward. We hope that all grieving mothers are being especially gentle and listening to themselves as we approach this beautiful but difficult holiday, Mother's Day, this weekend.

If you are in crisis or you think you may have an emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately.

When Whitney met Mary she saw a professional woman with sharp wit and a lively countenance. Like so many grievers, Mary's grief was not visible on her surface. But when Mary confided in Whitney that she knew something of sudden loss and traumatic grief, when her new boyfriend died in a motorcycle accident, it was clear from the conversation that Mary's experience had changed her life. Whitney reflected on what she had been like at the age of 24, when life was endless possibilities and she embodied the youthful innocence that nothing bad would ever happen to her. What would that be like to have that ripped away overnight? And how would the 24-year-old Whitney have handled the grief she knows so well now? Whitney believes she would have have done well. And that was why she wanted to have Mary on the show to share a young adult's perception of grief and the ways it has changed her life.Are you a huge fan of the show?
