Weight Regain: Looking Beyond Calories and Willpower

For the next eight episodes of Before Dieting, Bronwyn is taking a closer look at women’s experiences of eating and repeated weight regain, using stories women have shared with her over the years.

These are the parts of women’s food and weight stories that rarely make it into conversations about weight loss: hiding and sneaking food, eating late at night when no one else is around, feeling torn between wanting to lose weight and desperately wanting the relief that eating can provide.

Using a systems-thinking lens, Bronwyn will examine what surrounds these experiences, what repeats and what becomes visible when more of a woman’s life is put back around her eating. The aim isn’t to turn each story into a neat explanation. It’s to resist jumping to conclusions before there is enough evidence to support them.

Because after years of losing and regaining weight, I fell off the wagon or I know what to do, I just don’t do it simply isn’t enough of an explanation. There is much more to investigate.

If Before Dieting has started to loosen the idea that your weight is simply about calories and dieting, start turning some of this thinking towards your own story with the Weight Ecosystem. Or copy/paste the link below:
