    In today's episode, we are joined by Deb @just_debsie_theog, a returning guest whose candid reflections offer an invaluable look into the post-surgery landscape.



    Together, the trio delves into the intricate interplay between emotional well-being, food addiction, and the hidden realities of fitness. They unpack how trauma and food became coping mechanisms, blurring the lines between physical health and deeper emotional issues.



    Deb shares her journey with weight fluctuations, her recent use of Ozempic to curb food cravings, and the struggles with maintaining mental health in the face of financial constraints. The conversation highlights the stigma around medical interventions, the impact of social media, and the importance of genuine community support.



    Reflecting on past experiences and milestones, they discuss the significance of sustainable habits, coping strategies for those starting their bariatric journey, and the value of private reflection over social media validation.
