Weight Loss Doesn't Have to Suck

Ep #92: Food Is Not Your Friend (And That's Good News)

Kimberly Severson Season 1 Episode 92

In this powerful episode, we're diving deep into a topic that affects so many of us - the belief that "food is my friend." If you've ever turned to food for comfort, support, celebration, or escape, you're not alone. But here's the truth: food might be the most unreliable friend you've ever had. It's like that friend who's physically present but never really listens, and then talks behind your back later.

We explore why breaking up with food as your emotional support system feels so scary (and why it's worth it anyway), and why developing new coping mechanisms might feel uncomfortable at first but leads to genuine relief and self-trust. This episode isn't about making food the enemy - it's about putting food in its proper place and creating space for real support in your life.

Whether you're just starting your weight loss journey or you're well on your way, this episode will help you recognize when you're using food as a friend and, more importantly, show you how to choose differently. Get ready for some honest conversation about what it really takes to build a healthier relationship with both food and yourself.
