S6 E14 - My Experience with GLP-1, Dieting at 12 & Why I Loved My Chat With Paddy Cunningham

I’ve been on a diet since I was 12 and my episode with Paddy Cunningham (@adoseofpaddy) opened up such an honest conversation around body image, weight stigma, and why health and size are not the same thing.I also open up about my own experience starting GLP-1 medication, the surprising mental shifts I felt, and why I’m not on it right now. From childhood diets to gallbladder diagnoses and dancing in every team at school, this one’s personal. Because for so many of us, especially women, weight is never just about weight.✨ In this episode:Why I loved my chat with Paddy (@adoseofpaddy)My earliest memory of dieting at age 12Body image, confidence, and being active at every sizeWhy I tried GLP-1 medication (and what happened next)Brain fog, anxiety & the unexpected calm it broughtWhy it’s never just about losing weightWhat real health means to me nowYou can find Paddy here: Website | Instagram | Facebook | TikTok____BeBelle is a podcast hosted by Sian Horn that dives into the stories of remarkable people behind their businesses.
