189 | Does Being Overweight Affect How You See Yourself After 50?

What happens when you’ve spent decades believing your body is the problem? In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal part of my weight loss journey—from struggling with my weight and acne as a teenager, to years of dieting, people-pleasing, shame, and poor body image. I’ll share what it felt like to be treated differently because I was overweight—and how I eventually realized that my worth was never determined by my size. If you’ve spent years criticizing your body or believing you’ll finally feel “good enough” when you lose the weight, I hope this episode reminds you of something important: You can care about your health and work toward weight loss without hating yourself along the way. You are so much more than your weight. Links & Resources: Learn more & visit: https://robynpolk.com/  Ready for More Support?
