Can weight loss ruin my relationship?

What this episode covers

<p>In this episode, we uncover the underexplored effects of weight loss on relationships. As a professional assisting individuals preparing for weight loss journeys, I have observed dramatic shifts in relationship dynamics. Dealing with everything from increased confidence and attention to discomfort and past trauma, I probe into how shedding weight can be a double-edged sword.</p> <p>The influence extends to romantic relationships as well, with different impacts on long-term relationships vs newer ones. </p> <p>A key factor is opening up discussions about physical and personal changes pre-weight loss to preemptively address relationship changes.</p> <p>Delving into 'weight conflict', I explore how drastic weight loss can sometimes lead to self-sabotage out of discomfort with changes in the body and personality.</p> <p>Adding to this struggle, I discuss the influence of friends and family comments, who may trigger doubts in the achiever, urging them to halt the weight loss process. </p> <p>Recognising that weight loss journeys are distinct for every individual, I emphasize that with the right help and support, not only can weight loss be successful, but relationships can also improve as a result. </p> <p>Kyla Holley is the Director of the Australian Centre for Eating Behaviour <a href='http://www.acfeb.com/'>www.acfeb.com</a></p> <p>Want more ?</p> <p>Please follow this podcast.
