Tuesday, 3 March, 2026
You did the thing that was supposed to fix it.The surgery, the weight watchers, the fresh starts.And for a while, it worked... Until it didn't.The food noise came back. The urges crept in. The sense of being out of control around food returned… and with it, confusion and shame.In this episode, I sit down with Kim, a client who underwent weight loss surgery and later found herself struggling with binge eating again. We talk honestly about why this can happen, what surgery changes (and what it doesn’t), and why binge eating is never just about the size of your stomach.If you’ve ever wondered, “Why didn’t this fix it?” OR "Is that my last resort?", this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and what’s actually required to create lasting peace with food without going under the knife.JUMP TO:00:00 Why weight loss surgery didn’t fix the binge eating03:12 Successful on the outside, secretly struggling with binge eating07:20 The decision to have bariatric surgery10:47 When binge eating and food noise came back16:39 The shame and comfort cycle behind binge eating21:31 Why bariatric surgery can’t heal your relationship with food26:43 How Kim stopped binge eating after surgery29:29 What to know if you’re considering Nourished & FreeSend an anonymous love note, or suggest a future episode!Support the showLEARN MORE🔥 My Signature 4-Month Program, Nourished & Free®📲 Follow me on Instagram (you'll get to know me pretty quickly!)📖 Check out my blog for tons of helpful articles SHOW SOME LOVE⭐️ Loved this episode?
