Most people who are trying to lose some extra weight don't care about how it got there -- they just want it gone, and preferably yesterday. But 99% of people who lose weight on a diet gain it back within a year, often because they haven't fully addressed the underlying reasons why the excess weight appeared in the first place. Weight can be a powerful teacher, and it tends to show up when there's something we need to learn. If we try to bypass or ignore the lessons, weight has a funny way of hanging around until we actually listen to what it's trying to tell us. In this illuminating new podcast episode, Emily Rosen, Director of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, explores several of the messages that excess weight can have for us. If you've struggled to lose weight, or if you've lost weight and regained it, tune in and see if one of these messages might be for you.
