Summary
Why do we feel shame so heavily around gaining weight back after losing some?
There is an explanation for this when we think about the messages we receive about weight throughout our lives, but those external messages don’t actually mean anything about your worth at all. I’m making it my mission to release you of the shame surrounding weight gain.
In this episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, I’m unpacking how to separate your body from your self-worth. I really think it’s time we stopped shaming ourselves for gaining weight back and started working on our self-love, self-compassion, and self-worth at any weight.
Topics covered in this episode include:
- Why gaining weight back makes us feel shame
- How to get out of your own head
- Reaching a healthy mindset to lose weight from
- Separating your self-worth from your body
It’s easier to love yourself when you’ve reached your goal and you’re maintaining the weight you want; it’s harder to love yourself when you’re not. That’s the work we need to do, and it starts here.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Weight Loss for Busy Physicians Podcast. I'm your host, master certified, |
| 0:13.6 | life and weight loss coach Katrina Ubell MD. This is the podcast where busy doctors |
| 0:18.6 | like you come to learn how to lose weight for the last time by harnessing the power of |
| 0:23.6 | your mind. If you're looking to overcome your stress eating and exhaustion and move |
| 0:28.3 | into freedom around food, you're in the right place. |
| 0:36.6 | Well, hello there, my friend. I am so excited to talk to you today about this specific |
| 0:43.5 | topic. So excited in fact that I literally just came in from a walk and walked straight |
| 0:50.8 | upstairs to my office. I'm sitting here dripping with sweat still. I'm a mess if you |
| 0:56.4 | could see me. I am an absolute mess. But that is how channeled I feel this episode is going |
| 1:04.9 | to be. I was just on my walk. I walked near River River through these like beautiful woods |
| 1:10.3 | and everything. And often I have the best ideas when I'm in there. Like all of a sudden |
| 1:14.5 | it just hits me in my brain like you need to talk about this. And here's why. And I come |
| 1:20.8 | up with the whole episode while I'm walking. And I thought, you know what? There's no shower before |
| 1:26.6 | this today. This is going to come straight from my brain out through my mouth. And here I am. I |
| 1:32.1 | don't even want to put my arms on the arm rest on my chair because I'm sunscreeny and sweaty. |
| 1:38.7 | Literally using my shirt to mop off sweat off my face. So that's a fun little image for you. |
| 1:46.6 | Normally I don't, you know, kind of cut things so close. All three of my kids are at camp this |
| 1:51.9 | week, which is always a weird thing when all of your kids are gone, but you're home. But like |
| 1:57.4 | great too. And you know, it's good for everybody to get a little break from one another. So that's |
| 2:01.0 | also good. But that's why I'm kind of like not in my usual routine. I usually be walking much, |
| 2:05.8 | much earlier than this right now. But anyway, this is how it worked out today. So I want to talk |
| 2:11.6 | to you about something that I have seen happen with clients that I've worked with. You know, |
