Ep. 100 Why Weight Loss Won't Solve All of Your Problems

Welcome to the 100th episode of the Body Image with Bri podcast!

In this special episode, Bri talks about why weight loss can’t solve all of your problems. She shares how a sad moment the day before her birthday revealed the magical thinking she still falls into, and how it connects to the belief that a smaller body would fix everything. Bri gets into body image whack-a-mole, why what she wanted was never really thinness but privilege, the three things that improved her health without weight loss, and where to start when you don’t know how to grieve.
