đ I Donât Want to Be Weighed⌠But Theyâre Requiring It. Now What?
What happens when your anti-diet values collide with the realities of a weight-obsessed medical system?
In todayâs solo episode, I respond to a deeply vulnerable listener story about being required to undergo weight monitoring during pregnancy as a gestational surrogateâafter more than a decade of avoiding the scale as part of her healing from disordered eating.
I unpack the emotional toll of being reduced to a number, the grief of not having full autonomy in medical spaces, and how weight stigma is baked into the system.
I explore:
- Why mandatory weigh-ins can be so activating, even years into healing
- How to move from âknowingâ your worth isnât tied to weight to feeling it in your bones
- Reflective tools to challenge internalized beliefsÂ
- Practical strategies for protecting your peace during weigh-ins
This episode is full of validation, support, and reminders that you are not the problemâthe system is.
Whether youâve experienced this exact situation or just felt the pain of weight stigma in healthcare, this episode is for you.
