Because most people arenāt actually chasing skinny ( I certainly was to some degree because my generation knew skinny differently)
Theyāre chasing relief.
Relief from the noise.
The cravings.
The pressure.
The inflammation.
The exhaustion of thinking about weight when theyāre tired, hungry, overworked all day while pretending theyāre āfine.ā
A lot of people donāt realize how loud their biology has become until it finally quiets down.
And yup ā¦
Some people do gain weight back.
and some donāt.
Some gain back because they treated it like a temporary diet instead of a metabolic interruption that required new behaviors, muscle support, nervous system support, protein intake, boundaries, guidelines, emotional awareness, and lifestyle shifts.
Thatās like asking:
āWhy would anyone go to physical therapy if they might get injured again?ā
Because feeling better matters.
Learning your body matters.
Experiencing possibility matters.
Also⦠many women arenāt āgaining it all back.ā
What they gain back is often tied to going back into the exact stress patterns, emotional eating patterns, alcohol habits, sleep deprivation, self-abandonment, and cortisol chaos that contributed in the first place.
A GLš« isnāt magic.
But for some people, it becomes the first moment in decades where their brain and body stop fighting each other.
And thatās the MAGIC!
And honestly?
The bigger conversation should probably be:
Why are we so comfortable with people staying trapped in suffering⦠but deeply uncomfortable with them getting support that changes their relationship with food, inflammation, impulse control, addiction patterns, and self-trust?
That part has been my biggest fascination but I guess I kind of get it if you only listen to conversations based on fear not possibilities ( cuz if you are open to listening, thereās more success stories from worth, itās a choice to choose your voice or the noise). IMO
