Dump the Diet Mindset!

from Smaller Stomach, Bigger Life · host Kyla Holley

Kyla Holley explains why decades of dieting rules often hold people back after bariatric surgery or while on GLP-1s, and why letting go of rigid rules is essential to long-term success. We explore why the dieting mindset was never designed for long-term success, and why carrying it into life after weight loss surgery can keep you feeling trapped, frustrated, and disconnected from your body. You’ll learn why diet rules fail, how they impact your relationship with food after bariatric surgery, and what a more sustainable, empowering approach actually looks like. This is your invitation to shift from restriction to self-trust—and finally create food freedom that lasts. The Smaller Stomach, Bigger Life Community is a supportive space for people navigating life after bariatric surgery or while taking GLP-1 medications. Inside, we explore the emotional, behavioural, and psychological side of weight loss — the parts that matter long after the scale changes.
