Why Weight Is a Puzzle, Not a Problem

🎧Weight is a puzzle to solve, not a problem to fix

In today's episode, Bronwyn Fletcher helps us ditch the blame, step away from diet culture, and rethink what really causes recurring weight. Forget the old story that says being overweight is just about overeating and needs a simple diet fix. Bronwyn makes the case that diets aren’t one-size-fits-all, and if you’ve ever felt like a diet “failed,” it wasn’t your fault.

We talk about how western thinking jumps to quick solutions, why diet hacks are everywhere, and why habits like “drink a glass of water before meals” sound logical but don't get to the root of the real issue. Bronwyn urges listeners to look at weight loss like a jigsaw puzzle, where every piece matters, including upbringing, emotions, and body protection.

Key Takeaways:

    • Permanent weight loss is complex, not simple.
    • Changing your mindset from “problem solving” to “puzzle building” opens up new possibilities.
    • Building habits alone won't break the cycle, understanding your food story can.
