Summary

Have you hit the wall? You've tried to lose weight or change your eating more than a few times now. Maybe it worked for a little while. Then it didn't. And now you're sitting there wondering if there's even any point in trying again. I recorded this episode for you, because I know how exhausting it is to keep trying and yet keep feeling like you're failing. In episode 350 of the Thriving As A Physician Podcast, I'm digging into why trying has felt so exhausting, so defeating, and so personal — and why that's not actually your fault. The way we've been taught to try is the problem, not you. I walk you through why the failure lens most of us use is distorted and actually gets in the way of your success, why building something that feels good to do is the whole point (not a bonus), and what it looks like to approach weight and eating as a practice instead of a diet. This one is for you if you feel battered and bruised and aren't sure you have another try left in you. I promise it's worth a listen.
