<p>What if your fear of weight gain isn’t actually about your body at all?</p><p>You might feel like you’re constantly trying to keep things “in check”… watching your body, your food, your habits—just to make sure nothing changes. And even when things feel stable, there’s still that low-level anxiety sitting in the background. Like if something shifts, everything might unravel.</p><p>In today’s episode, we’re gently pulling back the curtain on what’s really driving that fear.
