What diets won't solve

Summary:

In this episode, you’ll meet Amy, a woman who’s spent over half her life trying to lose weight. Using systems thinking, we explore how her relationship with food was shaped by childhood experiences, family dynamics, and unspoken rules about appetite and body size. From stolen snacks to over-catered freedom, Amy’s story shows why long-term weight issues are never just about food.

What You’ll Learn:

• • Why Amy’s weight struggle didn’t start with dieting
  • How childhood rules around food shaped her adult patterns
  • The emotional logic behind overeating
  • Why understanding your backstory is essential to lasting change
  • What systems thinking reveals that diets miss

Key Quote:

“Without realising it, I’ve been performing the ‘fat people are jolly’ act... Every time I laughed, I was abandoning myself.”
