Episode 30: What REALLY Keeps You Hanging On to Unhealthy Habits?

We’ve talked about habits in recent podcasts, how to develop healthy habits and extinguish unhealthy habits. Being able to lose weight and maintain that weight loss requires both … developing good habits and ditching those habits that do not help you. Habits, are, in fact, one of the reasons people regain weight. I’m often told, “I regained weight because I went back to the old habits.” That’s a fact and it happens frequently. But is that really what’s going on … or is saying “I returning to old habits” just a cover for deeper issues… deeper truths related to reasons people regain weight. I alluded to an article in the last podcast that I recently read specifically addressing the ways obesity can be a solution for some people.. as well as a problem. I posted that article on the BariAftercare FB page and am going to review it in full on the podcast a few episodes from this one. However, before I do that, I want to do a few podcasts leading up to full dissemination of the article. I believe doing so will help ease you into understanding the depth of the information in the article. So today, I’m starting by talking about how weight regain can be related to some unpleasant life experiences. Listen in and please keep an open mind!
