Weight gain made me a better person

from Children of Divorce · host Lydia Nathenson

Yup. I’ve been there. Weight goes up and down. It’s visible to everyone. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to get my shit together and recover from an eating disorder in a world that celebrates my underweight body. To say it’s difficult is an understatement. In today’s episode, I discuss all things weight gain and weight fluctuation - how do I feel comfortable gaining weight? How did I cope with other people’s judgements of my weight gain? It’s a journey and I’m not going to sit here and say it’s easy, but it is possible. I did it, and so can you. You too can be happy in your body and happy with your weight. Remember, weight gain might just make you a nicer person! What a win. You’ll be loved by the right people. All my love,Lydia XAlso, creds to Linda Sun for the line I said about it not being worth the weight - she said that in one of her youtube videos and it always stuck with me. ‘Children of Divorce’ is available wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTubeFind me on TikTok & Instagram under @childrenofdivorcepod and @lydianathenson
